Just a thought, would the omnibus edition for the 21st & 23rd January 1986 episodes still exist? Because Drama could have just put that out instead. I assume it doesn't, or that's probably what they'd have done.

Just after they lost their baby I think. They went on holiday and the Carpenters did it up whilst they were away?

According to DS, Lofty & Mary are due to return as part of Dr Legg's death storyline: https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/a25482896/eastenders-lofty-and-mary-the-punk-return/

Looks like the new set is making the headlines for the wrong reason....

EastEnders set rebuild goes £27m over budget
The BBC's project to build a brand new, HD-ready Albert Square and expand the external EastEnders set will now cost £27m more than originally planned.
The original 2015 forecast for the scheme was £59.7m, but the revised budget is now £86.7m, the National Audit Office (NAO) has revealed.
The new set was originally due to open in 2018, but won't be ready until 2023.

BBC could have spin it the other way... Eastenders set full of asbestos.. Where is this new set getting built?

I believe that item should refer to UHD not HD. I think I’ve seen that mentioned before.

Seems to be a lot of confusion about this.
I remember the Vic being cited as a particular problem for HD, and I seem to remember there was a plan to go HD once it had been on fire (again) and done up. But I'm pretty sure they ended up going HD before that anyway.

Not quite if I remember rightly. The Queen Vic burned down in September 2010 and Hd Broadcasts started on Christmas Day (with it being upscaled from the launch of BBC One Hd.)
