Rewatching Eastenders from the first episode

Do you know if this would be possible? I don't know where they are showing the repeats. Do you think someone has watched very show right from the start.

Well let's work this out. Roughly 90 minutes per week for 35 years = 114 days unless I've miscalculated.

I did 90 × 52 ÷ 60 × 35 ÷ 24

All started with the death of Reg Cox and Arfur stealing some of the dead man's whisky.

With dash1's schedule of 9 hours a week it would take just over 7 years to watch them all and that doesn't include any new ones which you would have to add on.

After 140 days' worth of stories, how can they have any combinations of story-lines left to run.  Surely everyone has shagged and/or killed everyone else by now. 

If you find out who killed Reg Cox let me know!

I think they had to edit some of the earlier episodes of the Bill for those replays quite a bit Wellers for the reasons you suggest.....

I'm currently working my way through every episode of The Bill from the start. The early series have aged very badly and were actually quite ahead of their time in confronting police racism and brutality. I am currently on 1997 Series 13. 

I haven't seen Eastenders since Arfur Fahler stole the Christmas Club money and smashed his gaff up. It was crap then, it was crap at the start, and I'm sure it's crap now.

According to that fansite there's an unbroadcast storyline in which Arfur becomes a serial rapist, targeting the elderly. He rapes Dot then Ethel before being caught and imprisoned. Actor Bill Treacher had wanted to be written out of the series to try and crack America but changed his mind so the storyline was never used.

I watched the first Corrie episode, I think it was around the 50 year celebration they replaved - I was really suprised, it was high quality intense stuff, Ken barlow as an edgy left wing intellectual, not the piss and wind it is today 

If it doesn't already, I think this should feature in possible future roleplay activities.

Start by discreetly introducing him to the character, drop in a few mind seeds, subtly buy him a few outfits and one of those market trader pouches.

Then one day look him cold in the eye and say.

"I want you to pretend to be Pete Beale and then fvck me, you have to keep up the act until I tell you to stop."

Impressive how these shows have just about survived in recent years. Given a choice of four channels you can understand them being popular, but who watches live terrestrial tv anymore (especially soaps)?  Given the choice of Netflix, prime, sky, Disney, etc.

My parents watched Corrie until about 2010 (about the time when their internet connection got good).
