Synopsis
Britain’s best-known TV critic has a love/hate relationship with our most loved/ridiculed soap opera. Having never missed an episode, Garry Bushell now brings devotees and detractors alike this hilarious guide to the cock-ups, continuity errors, character re-writes and rubbish plot-lines that make up BBC TV’s biggest show. This book is the perfect way to cheer up those who hate the programme – and to bring a smile to the lips of those who love it. It’s guaranteed to deliver something even the Christmas Day EastEnders won’t supply: laughs! “If life was like EastEnders there wouldn’t be a lamppost left to hang yourself from,” says Bushell of our most melodramatic soap. Is it any wonder that they once stuck his photo to the dartboard of the Queen Vic – or that the man who slates the show is probably the nation’s biggest authority on it?
