Eastenders: 30 June 2009

Last night, Manda and Heather duked it out over the karaoke as they competed for Minty's affections. Yes, you heard right, Minty. You'd have thought topping this flight of fancy would have been difficult, but no, the scriptwriters can always go further than you might expect. This came when Manda showed how much better she was than Heather by performing a faultless rendition of Wham Rap, whereas Heather's was only ok (I think that was the point anyway). This makes the plots in Grange Hill or even Rainbow look as complex and interesting as The Sopranos and yet I'm still watching it in the hope things will improve. The only way round this problem is to do the following: if I stop paying my licence fee, get arrested, and get put in a prison where there are not tellies, there is a good chance I might be able to avoid it.
