EastEnders

It looks like a model village.

It always has been, as is Fassett Square on which it is based (and which is even more not-actually-square than Albert Square).

Wait until you watch The Circle.

Do we know how many episodes of EastEnders are left? I heard there's only 2 more left after tonight.

That's Emmerdale you were thinking of, before they filmed the new lockdown episodes.

I think Josh is right - I'm sure they said they'd run out early June.

First we’ll know is when you look in the listings and Monday at 8pm is a Garden Rescue 30 min reversion!

BBC website is listing 2 episodes for next week, so there's at least 3 more in the can. Their listings only go up to the 12th right now, so not sure about the week after.

I presume the BBC can handle the show going off briefly more than ITV can with Emmerdale and Corrie as there isn't the commercial pressures. Probably why they're not as quick to return to production.

They finished filming on March 18th, and going by the notion they film 6 weeks ahead, would have took them up to episodes week finishing 1st May. Which by my calculations means the last episode should air on the 16th June.

You couldn't beat Ground Force!

According to reports today Eastenders will run out of episodes after 16th June.

And as filming is not scheduled to resume will go off air.

As mentioned, the price is for the entire Elstree site. Remember it’s an old film studio retrofitted by ATV in the 50s and 60s, riddled with asbestos, and then sold off cheap to the BBC by Central, who didn’t do much to get them back in operation. Not much in the grand scheme of things to get it up to standards at the minute.
