Eastenders Last Night, Too Violent?

[EDDIE51]

Anyone else agree that last nights Eastenders was far too violent to be shown so early in the evening? I was at my sons house and my 3 grand-kids were actually scared of what happened.

There is supposed to be a watershed. That is terrible if it frightened your grandchildren. You could complain about it to ofcom.

[ummmm]

I haven't seen it yet.

No more violent than the video games they play.

[ToraToraTora]

Like all the soaps they seem to be exempt from the watershed. I can't believe people watch this garbage, it is a sad indictment of our society that there are enough viewers of this sort of thing to make it viable. I can't even bear to watch the trailers let alone the actual program. yet they show this on a happy day of the year, when did it become necessary to show such horrific rubbish on prime time?

I have not seen Eastenders for some time, but when I did, I thought it was the most depressing, bad tempered, ill-mannered, programme on TV.
Yet, it gets good ratings! Why?

[ummmm]

It's the only soap I watch.

[Zacs-Master]

Me too.

[ToraToraTora]

I have not watched an episode of any soap since the eighties Pete, I have never been able to comprehend the attraction. I suppose it's because most people are sheep and they always leave them hanging at the end of each episode.

[ummmm]

Not really, TTT, I cope when I miss it!

[Zacs-Master]

It's just a bit of escapism.

Corrie was perfect on Christmas day.

[ummmm]

I watched EE from day 1. My mother didn't watch soaps so I never got into the other ones.

[ummmm]

I was 12...

[EDDIE51]

If that episode had been a film it would have had an X rating. I never normally watch it, in fact I rarely watch TV at all, but I could not avoid that one as we were all having a 'Family Christmas' with the TV on.

[ummmm]

I'm watching it now.

Phil and Vincent are caricature villains aren't they. Phil goes red in the face and whispers and Vincent has perfected the goggle-eyed stare, hilarious! Poor old Fatboy, what a way to be written out for his misdeeds in 'real life'

[ummmm]

What misdeeds ?

[ToraToraTora]

yes, ummmm I have noted that you are generally ovine in nature.

[MargoTester]

Allegedly performing a sex act on a webcam while smoking cannabis. Silly boy!

[tamborine]

Has Sharons son been killed off?

[ummmm]

TTT...I watch one soap. That doesn't make me a sheep!

Margo - that's a shame, I like the character.
