Snake-Pit Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 And this is something done by the BBC for Comic Relief in 2002? (sometime back then); Basically it'sEastenders if soap operas in the UK wasn't so depressing...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaD3zctYMN0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Corrie beats Eastenders any day of the week. It has all of these comedy characters in like Norris and Steve Macdonald. Eastenders is full of gloomy cockneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I'm gonna make an earth shattering admission here...i watch Eastenders religiously...there, i said! I'm officially out of the closet! Edited September 25, 2013 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 My father's helped write for Eastenders before, he's one of those writers who gets called in when they source out work just so they can turn around and say 'it's not all in-house'; When Dirty Den got written back in, my father's claim to that was giving him a wife and naming her after a sister of mine; Christine...Back then I was preview to all the storylines... When Janine pushed her newlywed husband Barry off the cliff because she was using him and couldn't stand the sight of him, I found out about that months in advance... There was this girl who was in my photography class at the time (this was like late 2003). - Her mother also wrote for Eastenders and she also knew of this storyline and; we sat there talking about it.It's a small world.

DieselDaisy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I hope your father is not the one writing the episodes in which Kat spreads her legs which, is basically every episode come to think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I watch General Hospital and Days of Our lives. I've been watching GH for over 30 years since my daughter was born. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 I hope your father is not the one writing the episodes in which Kat spreads her legs which, is basically every episode come to think of it.Nah, just that time then... I was stupid, growing up with him, when offering work out to a young me who was asking it was like"Go an be an extra on Eastenders."and yeah, basic training followed like... Walk to that point there, on that point there (some marker or whatever); silently clear your throat (or whatever direction I was given for this training under my father's tutelage).There were some conditions of course;"Cut your hair!"Because my hair was big; I was young..."They'd never take you on as an extra with that hair, it'll stick out too much"...He may have been right, he may been being a little bit old school and conservative....My main problem was not being sober enough to work and stuff, and also, I was trying all the wrong ways to make my band start.Oh well, maybe in some alternate universe in what-could-have-been-land, I guess.

Redhead74 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 When it comes to soaps I prefer a nice scented French milled one. None of that supermarket crap for me.

DieselDaisy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Loved Brookie. Bring back Brookie is what I say. You always needed an umbrella while watching it.When it comes to soaps I prefer a nice scented French milled one. None of that supermarket crap for me. (All other definitions of the word 'soap' are a pile of shit too )That Neighbours character from the '90s, Joe Mangle or somebody? He probably did more to set Australian stereotypes (here in Britain) into the 'dark ages' than when Ned Kelly was alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Mangle, fuck me, i ain't heard that name since i was a baby..Brookside, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, all a load of shit, it's all about Eastenders What was the one where they blew everything up as a way to end it? I love that, you can tell the writers put a lot of thought into that eh, like, 'how do we end this story?'

Snake-Pit Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I spoke to my father (as a joke) asking him for extras work on Eastenders... He said"No chance, they're moving production up north to Media City (BBC in Manchester) away from Ealing..."Needless to say; News of this has me looking out for rising sea levels, cats barking and other signs from the book of revelations.THE END IS NIGH PPL.
