Eastenders

Honestly I have to say that although this programme appeals to the older generation, I really cant recommend this show for viewing. The reason is that as far as I am concerned this show is very out-dated and does not reflect what happens in every day life which is what the show is trying to achieve. Eastenders is a soap opera which is designed to tell the stories of the characters life in an ongoing manner so that the audience can follow the lives of the individuals. However the writers seem to incorporate story lines which just are not believeable, for me this spoils the programme somewhat. The murderers and people coming to and leaving ...  Read the complete review

A British soap set in fictional Albert Square in the fictional East London post code of E20, EastEnders follows the lives of the local residents, and its central point seems to be The Queen Victoria (Queen Vic) pub. Currently, there are about twenty households in Albert Square, and for the most part they're all really incestuous and immoral. There is always plenty of bed-hopping going on and someone is always plotting someone else's murder/set-up/imprisonment. EastEnders is famous in particular for its explosive (sometimes literally) Christmas storylines. There is usually a lot of hubbub and speculation around September time as to what the revelations for the ...  Read the complete review

Eastenders has been going for years and as much as i hate to admit it, i do watch it. The programme takes place on Albert square in walford with 99% of the characters never straying further than 'the caf' or the local pub 'the queen vic'. Although i personally do like it, i can easily see why some dont, it is very depressing (unlike good old corrie) with nothing positive ever happening. Whether it be cheating partners, alcoholic philips or even the occasional murder (wooooooo!!!) theres always something to sap the joy out of even the most upbeat person ; P The show is on monday-friday (except wednesday) for half an hour and is usually on ...  Read the complete review

I know time goes by so quickly these days but it's still hard to believe Eastenders will celebrate it's 25th anniversary next year. It started just on a tuesday and thursday night at 7.30pm but has gradually had episodes added during the week so now it's only a wednesday and saturday that you can't tune in to watch it. Only one of the original cast is still appearing in the programme, Ian Beale. He's the sort of character you love to hate because he thinks he's one better than everyone else ( but he does have some funny moments when he gets his just deserts). Sadly one of the best actresses in Eastenders history passed away earlier this year, Wendy Richard. ...  Read the complete review

I just don't get this programme at all, I'm sick to death of everything about it! When I watch TV I want to either by challenged intellectually, feel some emotional connection, enjoy the adrenalin or just laugh my head off...not be bored rigid by depressed moaners. Eastenders is the most depressing and dull TV show to ever occur. Nothing nice ever happens, the 'big' events are when someone dies or gets sent down. The characters who do manage to get the nation to warm to them are usually killed off soon after. Actors such as Steve McFadden and Barbara Windsor can't get work elsewhere which is why they're mainstays of the show, not ...  Read the complete review
