Eastenders: 3 November 2009

Just before the theme tune woke some of us out of our cosy but partial comas, we find out from Janine and Archie that whipping boy, who is also known as Billy Mitchell, is going to get the blame for torching the Vic. Between you, me, and other law-abiding citizens, I think this means they are going to set him up and blame him for a forthcoming arson attack on the local public house. Something like that anyway. I was hoping that for once Billy might have some pleasure in his life, particularly after his blind date of sorts with Jean. But no, that would be too much like allowing Billy and the viewers to be happy.
