Nope, but then the set is scaled down.


It is? I thought it was full sized facades they used on the backlot.

I like the way the bus just sat there waiting for Keith to decide to get off, then it didn't move very far when ti did move. Although credit to the cameraman for walking onto the Bus backwards


At least Corry has a bus which fits on the set and can therefore move within it's boundaries.

Ah, the Weatherfield Wayfarer! An ex-Stagecoach bus I presume, hence the colourscheme.

Who had the Hoppa? Was that EastEnders or Corrie?

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read about it being a bit smaller than it would be in real life. It's hard to imagine anything very wide going around those roads!

It was nice to see on last Fridays programe parts of the EastEnders set you rarely see. Where was Jase and Dawn, Victoria Square?

Great storyline (visually) coming up according to The Suns TV Biz. 'Mad May' comes back to get Dawns baby Summer and ends up blowing up the Millers house!

I suppose "Arise, Dame Dot" would be a bit of a mouthful for the great smoky lady, so she will have to do with another type of gong altogether (a MBE, I gather.)

Cheers, June. You are the most amazing 82 year old trooper ever to grace our screens 4 nights a week!!!!!!!!

Dot Cotton, MBE!

Couldn't agree with you more. I think they should write it into an episode so that Dot does get an MBE for services to Laundry!

That was BOOMTASTIC!!!!

I've really enjoyed Mad Mays return. Dawn and Summer have got to surrvive this so she and Jase can move on to even more miserable storylines.

I thought the episode was poorly written and boring.

Many errors, for example - how did Micky enter the house as Dawn had bolted all the doors?

There were a few others that were so ridiculous.I find Lucy really unrealistic, not only a sh!te actress but the storylines are no way typical of a 14 year old posh girl like herself.

LoL I agree, it was all a bit silly. What I found cringeworthy was how all the Eastenders ran around in a stupor because ''Mad May's back on the square.'' I mean, come on...who does that in a community when some old face returns?

The whole storyline was poorly written last year, why did they revive it for the sake of a couple of weeks this year? It's outlandish and unrealistic, almost sick.

Pffft says the man who watches BB.

Horses for courses. On this occassion i overlooked all the errors in tonights episode.

Okay where i live and work, if we don't know each others business we make it up ourselves. Us country bumpkins love a good scandal and we like to think city bods are the same. Human nature and all that good neighbourly stuff. I suppose only in London do they quite literally stab you in the back.
