Eastenders

Eastenders is a British Soap Opera for people that have a very low IQ. Viewers of this programme may have a variety of other conditions including grotiness, being overweight or being utterly devoid of culture. The entire premise of the programme is based on the day-to-day lives of smelly make-believe people who cannot talk properly. Typical settings include a chip shop, a launderette, a garage and a pub. This programme is the chocolate beard that spoils the BBCs otherwise perfect washroom.

"Hello Dot - How are your varicose veins today?"

"Oo - not so bad - I'll see you down the launderette later"

"OK - unless I see you at the pub first"

"Yes" Eastenders - Please ditch it BBC

eastenders

A soap opera which used to be unmissable entertainment, but since about 2001 it has completely lost the plot. All the interesting characters have gone, replaced by people who are either irritating, obnoxious or both. I've lived where there are a lot of real eastenders and they're nothing like the ones in this soap opera. Albert Square is now populated by patronising working-class stereotypes (who are usually criminals, wife-beaters, serial killers etc). Nobody can keep their trousers/skirt on for more than five minutes, and Dirty Den suddenly rising from the grave shows how desperate the series has become, having exhausted all possible storylines years ago. Only continues because soap operas are so cheap to make. Once you've built the sets, you can use them forever, and you only need to go on location for a week twice a year and have a special effect once in a blue moon. And you can use the same storylines over and over. Eastenders always has an extra-depressing storyline at Christmas. Ho-ho-ho to you as well. By the way, Eastenders is now on four times a week, so that's even more padding to enjoy.

To hell with decent plots and characters. What we want in eastenders are headline-grabbing gimmick storylines, no matter how ridiculous they are. Lol! Eastenders was always larger-than-life, but surely there must be some limits.
