Eastenders: 8 December 2009

When the BBC announcers introduce a programme, such as last night's Eastenders, I wish they would remember that some of us have our tea at that time and warn us about anything that might make us regret eating, ever. Specifically, I am referring to the love rhombus made up of Janine, Archie, Ian and Ryan - can't we just move on from this strange need-they-all-have-to-take-over-the-Vic-at-all-costs storyline and check up on Jim and Dot instead. Or follow Jean around for a bit, or see what Christian is up to. No. We are instead forced to sit through the quadrangle of doom.
