Oh my God! Thus spake Tracey and she's a right beatch to boot :D Loved how the general point of her mini-rant was a sort of parody/satire of the main criticism/perception of the show 'I stay out of the way because this whole place is cursed...nobody will ever be happy'. Brilliant.

Anybody else bothered Clare has gone?

Yeah I found Tracey's little rant quite amusing. I always wonder about part time characters like her and what they do for the rest of the time. For example, they are quite often in the background so I suppose they'd need to be available for filming quite a lot. Do you think they have other jobs too?

I think they must have second jobs. I've never really given them much consideration. Winston and the woman who sells flowers on the market are another two who spring to mind. It was surprising for her to get so much dialogue though. I don't recall her saying that much before.

I found the scenes with Phil and Ben quite scary, maybe because they were realistic? Don't know, but it was quite horrible:confused:
It was quite distressing to watch and a bit hypocritical from Phil's perspective, considering he once said he wouldn't hurt Ben in the aftermath of Stella's abuse.

Surreal is one way of putting it. I had a fit when Tracey got substantial dialogue last week. I thought this was the beginning of the long-sought Tracey storyline, but meh.

Some people hated Tracey getting so much dialogue. They resented a break with tradition whilst others thought she was used to represent a negative view of Eastenders which has been promulgated for years and that her comments were a direct challenge from the new writers and producers to the hardcore fans. I thought it was a great use of parody, something quite difficult to achieve in soaps.

It's just becoming violent and predictable. I mean who couldn't have guessed Sean wouldn't run away from Roxie JUST before the wedding...

...not everybody's obsessed with Eastenders.

This thread has a generic title. The only reason Eastenders is talked about more is because, ostensibly, other soaps generate little other discussion within this thread.

I made the mistake of watching that episode before going out! I had just got dressed, done all my make up and sat down to watch the last 5 mins before leaving the house! Sobbed my actual eyes out and had to do my make up all over again!! :oops:

A true romantic, can't resist a love story!

I was downstairs yesterday and got made to watch it, while having a lovely glass of wine. Poor Christian needs a proper man! Can't say it's going to make me watch it, Ben's Lady Gaga routine was cringeworthy though.

i used to watch Dallas when i was younger,

i always wanted to be like JR having a big office on the top of my own skyscraper, with a bookcase that opened out into a bar, having a sexy little secretary work in the office ;) , then going out making big deals & earning big bucks in the process :D

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
