EastEnders

If a far fetched storyline is good enough for Homer Simpson then its good enough for Charlie Slater.

Lets just hope for Charlie's sake that the ghost of Trevor Morgan was filming Yolande stepping out of the taxi for his own perverted pleasure - "Every Scottish person does it!".

Interesting that the dating website, that Charlie's profile was on, is registered to this company. Wouldn't it be better if BBC Worldwide registered the domain rather than let a private company [potentially] profit from it?

BTW, what does a Company Manager do?

that scene with charlie was stupid, how many of you guys would honestly attempt to remove something that was stuck on a woman's dress where her bum was.

Manages the...

Okay, I won't.

Interesting to see Alex Deakin stood in front of a very old weather map on Keith's TV this evening. Bit of a continuity let down.



On a similar note, has anyone ever tried rining mobile phone numbers that appear on screen? I've always wondered who'd answer. Maybe they just order loads of SIM cards and stick them in the bottom of a drawer while using the numbers.

Nobody would answer!

Blocks of numbers are allocated for use in films and TV. 07700 is used for mobiles, landlines often use 01632 (which isn't allocated as an area code) but there are blocks of numbers for main geographical areas.

Ofcom - numbers for drama etc

The numbers don't work so they'll either just ring forever and a day or come back unobtainable. It's because people are stupid enough to actually call the numbers given and expect Ian Beale to answer.

The problem is worse in America though because they have used real telephone numbers in various media throughout the years. Perhaps the most famous example is in the 2003 film Bruce Almighty which gave out a number for "God" that worked in quite a lot of states, hence a load of crank calls. When the DVD was released it was changed to a traditional 555 number, the famous fictional American number.

Was Terry Wogan's voice recorded especially for Eastenders, or was it a genuine extract from the radio? A few months back they had Phil listening to 5 Live they cut out all the voices and just had new the top of the hour jingles all joined together,so I guess it could be especially made for EE?Anyone know?

Things on soap usually happen for a reason, not just for the heck of it.
But having said that, since all of Radio 2's output is recorded anyway for legal reasons, it wouldn't be too difficult to piece appropriate segments together, though I'd argue that it was specially recorded (and not to mention a damn sight quicker) about five minutes after Terry finished his morning show.

Just seen an advert on BBC One for April. It featured Ricky standing outisde the Vic, and Bianca very loudly shouted "Rickkkeeyy", in which all of the Vic's windows smashed. Ricky then saw Bianca's reflection in shattered glass and they looked at each other.

She doesn't look as if she has aged or changed much...

Looks like some new titles may be appearing, judging by the end part of that clip? It's certainly totally different to the current title sequence.

Are you having a senior moment? I'd say (16:9 squashing aside) that the end part is just a variation on the current theme.
