Wot? No Eastenders?

Precisely! I can see their intentions but it was done in a very ham-fisted manner.

The comments are worth a read on the Daily Mail's website

They've removed the comments from the site....

I was aware of it and started watching it and turned off after about 10 minutes. It was the guy talking to Chelsea in the cafe and 'educating' her/us about the Notting Hill riots that did me .

If I wanted a history lesson I would turn to the History channel. Did any plot lines actually move on?

Hannah Pool's review in the Guardian today pretty much nails it for me.

I always thought that the black guys flying jacket looked quite cool but I aint watched it for ages and ages.

How weird. I never watch Eastenders but I watched it last night, kind of.

It was boring. And it seemed really cheesorama.

I didn't know it was meant to be a big deal.

Patrick did not want to talk about his part in the NH riots. He preferred to talk about reefer, steel drums, chasing women and drinking rum

Oh God, its 1982 again and no one told me!
