EastEnders

And that's to celebrate the soaps silver anniversary? 25 years and We want your doof doofs? What an embarassment. EastEnders desperately needs a revamp it's unreal. Get rid of the people who think turning it into Hollyoaks is a good idea!
Can't wait to see how badly this live episode is going to go like!

Thats been happening for a long while. And generations have changed, so you get people watching the show who don't follow the continuity and thus writers aren't bothered. It's a whirlwind of embarrassment and Julia Smith and Tony Holland are probably turning in their graves, but if it gets ratings...

It certainly won't be a Happy 25th birthday for the majority of people who used to watch the show and realise what tripe it has become.

Lots of new things for Eastenders this week.

The music used over several scenes at the beginning of the episode, in the past the music has been in the scene and every character just happened to be listening to the same radio station.

The mid-sentence cliff hanger was just stupid. It would have been okay if Billy said "The Vic is left to." and then the show ended but the 4 second pause while we saw each person was stupid, at least one of the characters would have said "Hurry up, Billy. You twunt" or similar.

The repeating of the last few seconds of the previous episode as the first few seconds of the next episode. This is something that Neighbours used to do (maybe still does). I'm not sure that Eastenders have done it before.

what came to mind with that trailer was a very small toddler wanting it's special blanket



that is just so childish the kids will sue for defamation of character

why not just say they want viewers favourte endings or cliffhanger, we haven't got corry wanting your 'der der der der der ders' from the last half century have we

I want the 'doof doofs' from 1985 to 1993 back, when EastEnders was good. EastEnders went bad when The Queen Victoria Public House was repainted red after the fire. Just to let you know it was brown originally and then Sharon repainted it yellow and green.

Anyway can anyone in the 'doof doofs' adverts even know how many drums there are at the end of a cliffhanger? There are nine. Boom Boom, Boom Boom Boom, Boom Boom Boom Boom. I bet none of them even watch the programme.

One more rant. Plus I gave them my 'doof doofs' but the BBC did not want them!

Would this tripe be the same programme that is currently watched by over ten million viewers?

I can see it now "Emmerdale, we want you aaaaaaaaaaahhhh do do do do..."

Well that is exactly it in my opinion, tripe watched by over 10 million viewers. In fact, you could probably air an entire episode with Minty farting and eating tripe and it would still attract 10 million viewers. Different culture, different soap.

If things were that bad and tripe as you put it then people would turn off, as we have seen in the past with EastEnders dipping to low ratings. Obviously it is each to their own, but haters of the show will never change their mind are usually very narrowminded, same when it comes to degrading people who watch Big Brother and shows which not be Stephen Hawking talking about why the sun is round but it's something that people enjoy. Not saying you specifically, but it's all I ever seem to read on the internet.

NOT aimed at anyon specific...
We are the lowest common denominator, silly chavs ect. That's very insulting, and is used by people on forums and some coloumnist. I know a vast amount of people who watch all kinds of shows.

Sorry rant over, just really gets me annoyed.

A very interesting lengthly review of 'Garry Bushell's 1,001 Reasons Why EastEnders is Pony' here which kind of echoes my feelings and how the soap has 'changed' and why Corrie probably deserved that award the other night...

Who Killed EastEnders...?

I'm intregued by the implausable locations of CCTV in walford, not in the pub, considering that most if not all pubs and clubs have CCTV, yet on on a secluded tow path in the exact spot where Ian chucks the lap top in the canal

I love the way they found the footage and retrieved the laptop immediately with no delay. The laptop was not water damaged, broken or had water droplets on it.
