NewsGush: Woodyatt and McFadden Create Live Episode Plan B

Adam Woodyatt, Ian Beale, Steve McFadden, Phil Mitchell, Archie Mitchell, EastEnders, EastEnders Live Episode, TV, Television, BBC

Proper EastEnders fans will be aware that we’re coming up to the 25th anniversary of what is undeniably the greatest ‘long-running drama serial’ on the box.

And we’re also aware that they’re celebrating the anniversary with a live episode. And in that live episode, Archie Mitchell’s killer will be revealed…

Huzzah!

Ian Beale’s been discussing his and Phil Mitchell’s fear of collapse over the live episode excitement in an interview with The Mirror:

“I can’t wait for it. I want to see the director’s face when I leave a huge pause between lines. It’ll be bleedin’ hysterical.

“Parts of the set are falling to pieces because it’s been standing for 25 years. I think it was only ever designed to last for 15. But it’s been patched up in time for next week.”

“We’ve all got our little strategies in case it goes wrong. I’m going upstairs to check on Bobby. Steve Mac is going to say, ‘I’ve had enough of this’ and just walk out.”

Should be fun.

    Actually it is a “cereal” (rather than serial) because the first ones were sponsored by breakfast cereal manufacturers.

    I’d like to congratulate Dorothy Branning for belting that weird 1940s kid of Nick’s after she tried to make it look like Jim had wazzed in his trousers. Hopefully, this’ll signal a general return to hitting children across the country, the absence of which has turned an entire generation into disrespectful little bastards.

    Pat Pat and Patrick – what position?

    As for Dotty Branning – she definitely did deserve that thumop – but mainly because she’s a deviant forty year old woman in the body of a child.

    Every which way but loose, Swines.

    Every time I see Dotty, I expect to hear air raid sirens going off in the background, followed in short order by the sounds of anti-aircraft guns pounding away and the whine of doodlebugs falling from the sky.

    JRME – Hurrrrr

    Nappers – she has got a touch of the blitz about her. is she more annoying than Abby?

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 12:19 pm | Permalink

    I wouldn’t say she’s as annoying, no. More peculiar because she’s clearly a time-traveller from 1940. I’m surprised Dot doesn’t keep finding her in the cupboard under the stairs, sheltering from Hitler’s bombers and wolfing down powdered egg.

    I’m not sure, Interceptor. I tried to avoid eye contact with him in case he beat me up. I don’t generally judge people based on looks, but when someone’s chosen to have a bladdy big tattoo all over their visage, I think it’s safe to question this philosophy.

    DINLT – You couldn’t make it up, what you’ve just said. These immigrants, coming over, picking sprouts at six in the morning, living in unsafe terraced houses with sixty other immigrants, getting threatened and paid under minimum wage bygreedy gangmasters, getting murthered for being foreigners by ignoramouses … THEY DON’T KNOW HOW FUCKING LUCKY THEY ARE.

    There are two types of tattoo wearers.

    Jamie – I’d remove your benefits, you SCROUNGER. It’s your lot wot’s ruined this country (alongside the young, immigrants, wimmin’s libbers and what-have-you) and you should all be thrown in forced labour camps.

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 1:37 pm | Permalink

    I may have a problem in a labour camp, Naps as after two minutes of work I’d more than likely collapse. Maybe forced euthenasia would be a better option for the likes of me – could save money on benefits, and provide jobs for the ones what do the killing, like.

    Spaggers – I’ve heard this. Apparently the Archbishop of Canterbury teamed up with MI5 and Prince Philip to murther Diana because she was seeing a Mooslim from off of foreign parts. They say Our Windy Candle was going to have his baby, and there’s no way this country could of put up with an Islamical fella on the throne if everyone else in the Royal Family died (like in King Ralph) and he inherited, not with our business dealings with Israel, oh no.

    A new shop is opening two doors down from my house. I walked past this morning and saw that it was going to be a tattoo parlour, and thought “Oh no, what about the price of my house? It’ll be negatively affected!”

    Of course you’ve got a tattoo, Interceptor. That’s what your sort (sheep-like followers of fly-by-night fads) does. I’ll wager it’s something off of the ’80s, is it? Something ironic like the Thundercats symbol or the Commodore logo?

    Afternoon all.

    JRME – Have you really? I don’t have any. I am fascinated by them but hate them in equal measure. I gave up smoking (which I LOVED) to prevent Mr Clarry from getting one.

    The minute he goes and drunkenly gets a tattoo I’m taking up the fags again, oh yes…

    I guess that Piqued might have one (actually, he definitely has one, he was all disappointed with it on his blog or summat) and I think Nick might have one (either as a youth or very recently – prob also has his ear pierced). Errrrm, who else? Maybe DINLT and 4*. Yeah, I bet 4* will have a trendy one. Also maybe Mel?

    Fairly sure Naps and Swines wouldn’t have them.

    I definitely don’t imagine Breeks, Mr Green, Jamie, Dave or JQW having them. Oh or Pilch.

    It is admittedly on my backside. But it’s not a Chinese characeter or one of them swirly gaelic things or anything rubbish like that. It’s a completely meaningless round symbol thing. I can’t see it, like, so I often forget it’s there for months at a time, until I catch a glimpse in a mirror and think it’s a spider or something and have a complete mental screaming fit and try and claw my own skin off.

    Hi Clarry! I thought roughly the same as you, apart from I bet that Breeks has one, and not Mel. Not Naps, not Swines. I guessed Mr Green would.

    What kind of Tattoo did you think I had, JRME?

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 2:57 pm | Permalink

    I don’t understand how you grew up in the Highlands, Thumps. How come your lot wasn’t thrown out along with all the other squatters? Is your family in service?

    I come from a coastal town, and it wasn’t economical for the Landlords to throw us out and put sheep there instead, probably because they kept drowning.

    More importantly -what kind of tattoo do we think Mr.Green has?

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:07 pm | Permalink

    I see. Couldn’t they have kicked your lot out and put up nets to catch the sheep? Seems a waste of good land, having it infested with Scotch squatters.

    What kind of Tattoo did you think Mr. Green had/should have?

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:20 pm | Permalink

    I neither have a tattoo, nor did i have my ear pierced when everybody else did.
    I do not consider myself to be “square” but have never followed trends.

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:21 pm | Permalink

    I have exactly no tattoos, Clarry. Considered it a few times, but decided to remain uninked. Can’t see it happening now, although I am 40 next year so MID-LIFE CRISIS AHOY!

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:27 pm | Permalink

    Can’t you just kick out the wife and kids, get y’self a teenage girlfriend (street-legal), spend your savings on a motorbike and start dressing like Piqued, Fourstar? At least you won’t regret those actions.

    Also, they’re playing that bloody John Lennon song on the radio. Not Nobody’s Got Anything Any More, the other one. The one about being on your uppers, but it not being all that bad once you get used to it. I think it’s called It’s Alright, This, Being On Your Uppers.

    i do sometimes wear a bandana Nils Lofgren style though. (Another facet of my cowboy country ways).

    I do find some tattoos on some women quite sexy.

  • Clarry
    Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:39 pm | Permalink

    That’s knackered my stats…

    So that’s:
    I guess that Piqued might have one (actually, he definitely has one, he was all disappointed with it on his blog or summat)CORRECT and I think Nick might have one (either as a youth or very recently – prob also has his ear pierced) CORRECT. Errrrm, who else? Maybe DINLT INCORRECT and 4* INCORRECT. Yeah, I bet 4* will have a trendy one. Also maybe Mel?

    Fairly sure Naps CORRECT and Swines CORRECT wouldn’t have them.

    I definitely don’t imagine Breeks, Mr Green CORRECT, Jamie CORRECT, Dave or JQW having them. Oh or Pilch.

    I found Tatu quite sexy

    Oh, no actually I didn’t – I just found them annoying

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:45 pm | Permalink

    I don’t have any tats, piercings, implants or lean-to conservatory-style brick extensions.
     
    Having said that, few of my teeth are my own and I can only see an inch and a half without optical aids. All in all, I’m quite a catch.

    Personally I think it’s not something to be done half heartedly. Either go for it or don’t bother.

    My worst are those weird ones grown up women get, of something like winnie the pooh or tigger.

    I also think it’s a massive mistake to have writing or anything that will, invariably, go out of trend i.e. tribal, barbed wire, Chinese symbols etc.

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:50 pm | Permalink

    I fancy barbed wire wrapped round a totem pole with Chinese charac…..oh

    Didn’t you know grown ups are toddlers these days, Clarry? That’s the only reason I’ve got to explain an apparently grown women in a pink anorak and hat with bear ears with a Winnie the Pooh bag who lives in my block of flats … sorry, city living appartment cuboid.

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 3:52 pm | Permalink

    Totally agree, Clarry, that’s why I got something that meant nothing then and means nothing now. I was only 19 at the time anyway so that’s my excuse.

    Mr Green: I imagined you look like yon geezer from IT Crowd cos of my lack of imagination, so…a snake winding round your upper leg leading onto and along your personal regions? Seems apt. Plus you could make it rear up and stuff!

    I’m gonna go and pitch that as an idea to the new tattoo parlour.

    I like a man in glasses, Pilch. *adds Pilch to list*

    Good God Naps… really?

    Another score there for correctly guessing about Pilch.

    I also don’t get the weird ear tunnel things.

    This is a disgrace, it underlines everything that is wrong with Broken Britain. The site should be restored with a government grant, perhaps teenagers with asbos could be made to work for nothing there as part of their “community service”.

    does that get me on to your list Clarry?

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 4:06 pm | Permalink

    I kid you not, Clarry. About half the wimmin on this estate … sorry, riverside urban development dress like five year olds. There’s even one girl (Ug boots, bear ear hat, Tigger’s severed head for a backpack etc.) wot walks like a kiddie going off to school, all waddling along and skipping and that. I think she’s about thirty (she could be mentally retarded).

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 4:07 pm | Permalink

    Thats the thing Clarry…having drunk beer with old sea salts and other aged fellows, their tattoos look a bit strange as they reminisce about the war.

    See I liked the tattoos on that Mike out of Neighbours in the film Memento cos they were useful – telling him who to kill and that. Maybe useful tattoos are the way forward.

  • Posted February 10, 2010 at 4:09 pm | Permalink

    DINLT – I agree that the wanton destruction of Dunblobbin is everything wot’s wrong with Broken Britain. How the hell can English Heritage call themselves protectors of our national heritage when one of our most important stately homes is being left at the mercy of these ‘ravers’. It’s Broken Britain Gone Mad is this.

    He knows his films because he’s at Death’s door, Clarry. Scrounging along on benefits with only disturbing animal pornography and DVDs for company as he awaits Death’s icy embrace, he’s got fuck all better to do. The man’s a walking corpse, I tells you.

    I wear glasses too, so what does that say about me?

    That’s a thing: if you’re in a same sex couple, and you look incredibly similar, do you ever have a flash of something…I dunno, a bit weird? Kind of like what I felt like when my mum really pointedly showed me pictures of my dad at Mr JRME’s age and they looked exactly the same?

    I’ve considered many of the caring professions, Jamie. Cancer care to get ‘em to change their wills, paediatrics so I can hit kids, social work so I can take people’s kids off of ‘em (and then hit those kids), mental retardation hospitals so I can play jokes on the mad …

     I could never be arsed to get the qualifications, that’s the thing. A shame really, I could have been Shipman 2.0 …

    It’s ok Clarry – I’ve got a plan. I need a WWM rota of people reminding me to take my tablets every night so my heart doesn’t go haywire again like t’other day.  I don’t want Naps on the rota though – he’s like an angel of death.
