How about Wednesdays & Thursdays at 8pm on ITV 1 ! Laughing

Just struck me. Remember that drama doc about Judge George Corman, the one who was either defending or procesuting Gillian Taylforth over her libel action with The Sun & her 'A1' incident?

Remember who played Taylforth in the doc? It was Lisa Maxwell !

Guess which show both Maxwell & Taylforth are regulars in thesedays?

I agree with everyone's views on the episode, it was awful, especially the pathetic ending. They should have had flashbacks of some of her main storylines with sad music on, etc.

I thought the first Episode was quite interesting episode. I loved the opening when we heard snippets of Pauline, Arthur, Mark and Lou! That brought back some memories. It was also nice to see Jean Slater.

The 2nd Episode was miles better but i felt EastEnders would of got better reviews had they put it as a one hour Episode.

Paulines death didn't feel right for a legend like herself,It Reminded me of Fred Elliots death.

The Ratings for both Episodes we're amazing though on the day when most people Allegedly sit down and watch Tv, Keeping the share for both Episodes was great and i hope EastEnders can't put up a real fight next year.

EastEnders was utterly dire last night. What a load of crap. Everything, from the cliches, to the bloody snow outside, the annual community snowball fight... ahh, how fuzzy and warm! Rolling Eyes It is a sinking ship, one which clever Wendy jumped from before it was too late.

Next step - June Brown, Adam Woodyatt and other veterans should leave too.

Compared to Corrie which was just superbly written, under-hyped and just fantastically produced... no contest. Streets ahead.

Eastenders on BBC1 England just rewound or fast forwarded on air (I think it forwarded but only slighty) and now the DSAT subtitles are broken. Lets see if they mention it at the end.


**EDIT** Its pausing every few seconds now. I can't get the ceefax subtitles on DSAT to work either. There is no page 888. There isn't even a page 100.

Oh, DSAT subtitles are back now just in time for the end. No mention of the problem over the end credits though. Odd. Was this only a BBC1 South East problem?

I had the same problem BBC One East, i ended up just switching to BBC one Scotland, where everything was ok.

On the episode tonight, much better then last nights episode. Now did Rebcca see Sonia slap Pauline (like we all did), or did Sonia return later (that knock at the door?)

Really? I thought it was really tedious and even worse than last night. This whole storyline is a huge disservice to Wendy. Now I can see why she's publicly slagged off the show.


Oh, and I also had a similar problem when watching EE on Freeview (I'm in the North West). The other channels were fine but I couldn't get the subtitles to work and the picture kept freezing every so often. It suddenly started working fine again about a minute before it finished.

Well the whole storyline has been a let down, but i feel that it ended with a proper cliff hanger tonight.
