its reported that almost 20 million people watched Friday nights 1 hour 'live' episode of the London soap East Enders. Meaning of course that as the UK population is about 60 million, 40 million didnt watch it lol. having never watched it myself, (its so depressing) I understand that for its 25th birthday it screened a live episode exposing who murdered one of the actors. They rehearsed about 6 different endings to generate suspence, finally telling the actor responsable at the last moment.

now correct me if I'm wronge but as the 'bookies' ran a book on the result, those in the know (and presumebly their friends and families) could  put a large stake on the outsider  and draw a 'nice little earner' lol. mmmm just a thought!

How do you know it's depressing Michael if you don't watch it? Gotcha!! Now I really don't watch it, and haven't got a clue about anything that is/was going on over the past 25 years.

I watched the 1st episode 25 years ago! I watched it on and off for a few years but I don't watch any soaps these days as most of them are depressing! I nearly watched the live episode just for the nostalgia of it but I wouldn't know who anyone was so I decided not to!

I stopped watching "soaps" an long time ago, for lack of time mostly. At least these days you can record the shows, back in my era of watching them, we didn't have that available. You missed an couple of shows and it through you off in what was going on.  I can't say I'm for or against them really now. I do like variety in the air waves with an bit of everything though.
