Eastenders

I have watched Eastenders for as far back as I can remember, and still can't wait to watch it every night and get excited when I know its on. Yes, it is very negative coz so many bad things happen in Albert Square which can be very depressing, but hey, it makes our life look easy and problem-free! You can always tell when a plot is about to happen, such as the 'Who's going to kill Archie', and even though there is always a plot of someone getting killed, you still can't seem to take your eyes away from the screen. My partner never used to watch Eastenders until we moved in together and even hes hooked now! Everything that could possibly go wrong has happened ...  Read the complete review

This for me is the single most annoying TV programme on TV. Basically i hate the way the writers do things on Eastenders, but no matter how hard i try i cant stop myself from watching it - soap's have a clever way of becoming very addictive. In terms of the characters, there are a few plus points for me, I find Patrick to be a very likable character who is usualy involved in scenes that have a good level of lightnesss and humour, and likewise my top 2 in the show are Dot and Jim - Dot in particular has been the best thing for the last 20 years - June Brown can actually act and has great scrips. Others i enjoy watching are Heather, Minty, Garry ...  Read the complete review

One of my guilty pleasures is relaxing in front of Eastenders on weeknights - and I can't be the only one, since the soap has been running for a little under 25 years so far, and has won a number of different soap and television awards for its gripping and dramatic storylines . Eastenders is set in Walford, a fictional London borough, and centres on the lives of the various people who work and live there, particular in Albert Square . Walford is unexceptional - like many areas of Londons East-End, it has a couple of restaurants, a community centre, a laundrette, a convenience store, a tube station a small market and a pub that seems to be the centre of the ...  Read the complete review

My Opinion This is a show that I love and hate all at the same time. I can find just as many bad things to say about it as I can good ones. I think that the bad points by far outweigh the good ones though. I avoid shows that are constantly negative because I believe what we see and do effects how we feel. This show is quite depressing at most parts and I think its the sort of thing that if you have had a brilliant day, you sit down and turn this on. The smile that once was on your face will more than likely soon fade. I also have been irritated by recent storyline's and how they have turned out. I especially disliked the story with Ronnie Mitchell and her ...  Read the complete review

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
