EastEnders Update: Oooh! Mr. Lambert!

EastEnders, Mr Lambert, Dot Cotton, Bianca, TV, Television, BBC

Eastenders on Tuesday saw the introduction of a character I, for one, wish to see more of.

An intriguing silver fox, suave in manner and devilish in deed going by the name of Mr. Lambert. A kindly looking gent with a caddish nature – in just one thirty minute show and without uttering a word, Mr. Lambert managed to offend the sensibilities of two Walford ladies whilst also risking a bashing from gallant Ricky in the process. Let us look at how this white-knuckle drama manifested itself.

    I was disgusted with this episode. Bianca announcing she was ‘going for a poo’ was a new low point for the BBC.

    I have to admit that bit made me chuckle, Nappers.

    I think this is the best multi-page post I’ve ever seen. I don’t watch Eastenders but I may reconsider that if this Mr Lambert character were to become a regular fixture. After all, Whitney hasn’t been groomed for a while.

    Crispy – imagine the potential! Can’t wait for Perry Fenwick’s Inside The Actor’s Studio

    I do not watch Eastenders!

    Will Mr Lambert turn up too, dyathink?
     
    Also, I’d like to see Swineshead in the background in the caff, with a bee.

    Shucks, I meant “Mr Butler”.

    A pet bee. On a lead.

    ‘Oi! No bees allowed!’ cries Ian ratface Beale as I scurry out the door and into Heather, who spills her strawberry milkshake down her pinny.

    SH: the “Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6″ links would be much better alongside the “Next” link, in my humble opinion

    I’m putting together an Actor’s Studio starring Aidan Turner. He’s handing in a powerhouse performance in BBC2’s Desperate Romantics at the moment, and I think all of us budding thesbians could learn a thing or too from his mastery of the smirk, the grin, the boggle and the vinegar stroke.

    That’s right, Clarry’s Mam – ‘a thing or too’.

    I imagine that they live in little houses made of twigs and make drinks out of dew and petals.

    I wrote this all on the page next door, so i’ll add it here again. Soz.

    Rozsz:

    “FM – yes, I should stop tethering them with butterflies and hope..!”

    That made me do a funny whimper noise out of my nose.

    Also:

    “NC – you’ve been wanking since you were EIGHT? Isn’t that terribly young?”

    *knows nothing about boys*

    I ALWAYS wonder about that? Whenever I ask Mr Clarry how old he was when he first, you know what, he changes the subject and says I’m weird for asking.

    4* – Yes, seriously I am running IE6. Will I die?

    Clarry – do you ask him this question when you are walking around a silent cathedral, or in a childrens playground? Do you screech it at the top of your lungs?

    Clarry: You won’t, but seeing as it is essentially a massive security hole with a small browser attached, your PC might. I’d suggest your work get upgrading rather sharpish. Or allow you to install Chrome,which is the mutts nuts.

    Posted August 14, 2009 at 2:31 pm | Permalink

    No Rozsz, I mainly ask him about that sort of thing when we’re at home, rather than in any of the situations you mention. It does fascinate me though…

    When you’ve bought a sandwich, a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar, after polishing off the sandwich do you eat the crisps then the chocolate bar, or the chocolate bar then the crisps? I’m a crisps then the chocolate bar man m’self.

    Roszs – That’s because, as a woman, you’re obsessed with your weight.
    And they wonder why they don’t rule the world …

    Nappers – savoury must precede sweet. It is the Law of Pudding and it counts even during lunch.

  • Clarry
    Posted August 14, 2009 at 2:47 pm | Permalink

    4* i’m worried now…

  • Posted August 14, 2009 at 2:47 pm | Permalink

    Swineshead – This is my way of thinking. However, I’d like to know if anyone defies this law by sandwiching a sweet in between two savouries.

    NC – I am actually extremely overweight and the reason I don’t eat chocolate or crisps is because they use up too many calories in the unwrapping.

    But Clarry – you need to get off IE6, like, yesterday because it’s basically unsupported any more.

    I’m reading a book called The Wanting Seed at the moment and God has been replaced with a character called Dog, as far as I can gather. Also, because of food shortages and overpopulation people are forced to be homosexual and they turn babies into chemicals for Soylent Green style food capsules.

    Enough already DINLT with your fancy things. I’m clinging to the fact that none of you appear to be able to write things in red – that’s what I mainly want to be able to do to demonstrate when I am in a rage about something.

    Like Bea off of BB for example. She’s awful.
