Emmerdale: 29 April 2011

The day of the Feast of the Sycophants was celebrated by Betty and co. at home, by watching telly, and later in the pub with a quiz so easy that I wonder if they stole the questions from a This Morning phone in. You only had to know what a jester was to be considered brain of Emmerdale, and only Alan Turner knew the right answer. That's the problem with this country, blah blah blah.

On a lighter note ...  sorry there isn't a lighter note today.

Eastenders: 22 April 2011

The Eastenders bunch are never very happy. Even when they get good news, they still face a life of despondency broken up only by alcohol and drugs. That's life for everyone,  you may say, but not faraway in The Only Way is Essex glamping looks like being the way to solve all our problems. For those not in the know, glamping is glamorous camping, and where orange ugg boot, hair dryers and fridges are de riguer and c'est la vie.

Eastenders: Baby Swap Shock Return, 15 April 2011

At last - Ronnie has returned baby Tommy, who has been masquerading as James for three months. In a typically cynical Eastenders move, the return was drawn out for as long as possible and even included the stalling tactic of Ronnie telling Jack that all he needs to know is he isn't the father (omitting to say she isn't the mother either). Prior to this she wandered the hospital and looked blank, making it difficult to separate bad acting, bad writing and implausible storyline.

While all this was happening, the wedding of the year between Gregg and Tanya took place in a church very far away from Albert Square. It is also worth mentioning, perhaps anyway, that this church has the loudest bells in the world.
