By 2000, Emmerdale episodes were regularly getting 12 million viewers, and the number of episodes per week was increased from three to five.[11] An ITV talent show, Soapstars, was held in 2001 to cast the new five-member Calder family; the Calders made their debut on the show in November that year, and all members had left by August 2002.[12][13] In 2004, Emmerdale became the first British soap opera to broadcast six episodes a week.[4] By 2006, Emmerdale was contending with, and at times beating, EastEnders in viewership.[4] In 2007, an hour-long special episode revealing the murderer of Tom King (Kenneth Farrington) aired; the episode gained an average of 8.6 million viewers, peaking at 9.1 million viewers when Tom's son Carl (Tom Lister) confesses to the murder. The episode received more than double the amount of viewership EastEnders did.[14]
