Yes it's amazing how ''real-life'' EastEnders can get sometimes! Only last week did we hear what sounded like a train
slowing down
into Walford Station and a Muslim man with a turban (which appeared to be a huge inflatable banana on top of his head) mingling in the background with other such key townsfolk such as Gus. And then, we saw a spectacular demonstration of ''real life'' when little Ben Mitchell revealed his bruises (basically a pool of red poster paint poured onto his back) from the school ''bullies.'' If you want reality, then come to Elstree.

Speaking of the tube... There was a wonderful scene the other week where Peggy opened a window and an amazingly loud sound effect used for the train seemed to play. It sounded completely OTT considering the bridge is a fair stones throw away. Actually wondered if it was a post-production mistake...

There are many, many parts of EastEnders that are post-production mistakes.

I noticed Corrie have been slowly introducing this anti smoker campaign into the storylines, with the Ken and Tracy having a sly dig every now then at Deirdre.

Probably paper talk - but knowing EastEnders being so out of touch with reality, it's probably true:

Basically, planning to defy the smoking ban and saying they don't care about the law - or any fines (paid by the licencee fee payer) if they occur!

There is the difference - references to the changes in the law have been made pretty much since they first appeared on the political agenda in Corrie - and the producers there have said before that like all pubs, the Rovers will have to comply with the law.

My moneys on Corrie introducing nicorette gum or some other quit aid in the Rovers ashtrays into a scene before the Queen Vic does.

The whole thing makes me laugh though, is there nothing the lovely overcaring producers at Elstree won't let their precious actors do?
I saw a bit of EE tonight (sacrilage I know!). How many scene changes can you fit into half an hour?!
Cafe, vic, cafe, vic, market,vic, laundrette, cafe, vic, laundrette, vic, Pauline's house, Vic, Paulines house, cafe, Dawn's flat, laundrette, vic,............altogether now... #We didn't start the fire...lalalalalalalaalaa...

I didn't pay as much attention to the technicalties of EastEnders about ten years ago, but did there used to be longer scenes back in its heyday? I too have noticed that there are very quick scene changes.
Also, I find it funny how out of the two threads that were created, the most used and only one to last was the ''TROUBLE with EastEnders.''

I have to be careful on what i say as it maybe seen by some a hypercritical. Last nights ending was rubbish. Have i missed something....Dot acting all weird because Yolande has got Paulines job! - what a rubbish storyline.
