This may go back a bit but do you remember the one with Den and ? (his wife) can't remember her name, giving her the divorce papers at the Vic, this was one of the only times I watched the show, (first wife addicted to it, for all I know probably still is

) but found out that just hearing the theme music makes me fall asleep instanly.

Angie played by Anita Dobson. She went on to play guitar in the rock group Queen, well it's either her or her long term partner Brian May. Talk about seperated at birth.

Eastenders is dire. Much rather have the good northern humour of Corrie or even Emmerdale.

If that was the real East End of London we would be in a mess. All this doom and gloom for crimbo ratings is foosty nads and a crime.

Margaret Pilkington · 11-12-2005, 19:08

I don't know.......I haven't watched it for such a long time now......there are enough depressing things in the world without watching this sad soap.

If even the music comes on for Eastenders, whilst I am distracted, desperately look for my remote to turn it over ... great sigh of relief if I can manage it in 8 bars. Nearly have a panic attack if it ever gets into the dialogue.
Corrie ? .. always get a laugh no matter what, dedends who the writer is at the time of course.

SPUGGIE J · 11-12-2005, 19:19

One good thing about Corrie is that all those who watch it understand what I say wereas those who dont cant.

Problem is i think people are starting to watch it and can understand when I give them pelters.

Wouldn't waste my time watching Eastenders. Now Corrie that's a differant matter, don't like to miss that.

ANNE · 11-12-2005, 20:52

I do watch East Enders, but it's not a patch on Corrie or Emmerdale.
The trouble with East Enders is they kill off the best charicters.
They are killing off hunky Dennis and poor Nanna.
I will have my tissuse at the ready.
