Disadvantages: Unrealistic, some wooden acting

Eastenders is a British soap opera that is broadcast on BBC1 four times a week, and then repeated on Sunday afternoons.

The show is set in Walford, a fictional borough of East London, and follows the lives of the residents of Albert Square. A lot of the characters work in and around the square in the Queen Victoria pub, the cafe, the market, the nightclub, the car yard etc.

Eastenders is a gritty soap. It has elements of comedy now and again but on the whole it is a fairly dark show with lots of murder, corruption and dodgy dealing.

There are too many characters to mention, but there will always be a few rough ganster type characters, who are a bit dangerous and 'not by the book'. Then there will be a few dimwitted idiots who the viewer feels sorry for, but also laughs at the scrapes they get themselves into. There are always a few pin up girls and rugged hunks that are easy on the eye, who invariably end up in the red top tabloids with their off screen antics. It also has it's fair share of more mature characters, which I feel keeps a more realistic feel to the soap.

Like all soaps the storylines are largely unbelievable, but they have to be to keep us viewers interested. It's ben part of everyday culture in the UK for over 20 years and doesn't look like it'll be going anywhere soon!

Summary: UK's most popular soap?
