Reminder: solo episode tonight.
"Tonight's episode of EastEnders is as powerful and poignant a piece of drama as you will see on TV all year, and destined to be showered with prizes."
The Mirror
"It is worth seeing, even if you can't stand soaps."
The Independent
"Very rarely can a soap claim to do something which is both innovative and unique, but devoting an entire episode to just one character is exactly that.
And the story of Dot's despair as she records a heartfelt message for her seriously ill husband Jim is yet another triumph for Enders - after winning such accolades as Most Popular Serial Drama at the National Television Awards last year and being the most watched TV programme on Christmas Day."
The Sunday Mirror
"The superb June Brown and the show deserve every plaudit going."
Radio Times
This is the first episode of EastEnders I've watched in a few years. June Brown did a sterling job, a great performance, and a nice touch at the end with the credits running over a still scene of Dot's kitchen without the interruption of the announcer or an ECP menu.
