I thought it was a thoroughly boring 1 hour.

So a few weeks ago the writers wanted to show us "real issues" like bins and crap and now they're trying to make a point about how the world has moved on and everyone "video calls" these days Hmm. So stupid.

And everyone sitting around the table eating. Where were all the other 90% of Albert Square? How come all this lot decided to cook a 50lb turkey at 3pm? Ridiculous.

Also sad that the joke in the crackers were about Wham's Last Christmas and it was one of the songs in Hev's mix tape...Sad

EnidButton · 26/12/2016 01:36

I thought that about Hev. Sad

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 01:46

i reckon the cat will eat Ians christmas pudding gift out of the bin and end up poisoned

How far do n advance to EE film? Assume this is now L off on maternity leave and Kim away in Montserrat to do Srictly?

Kept waiting for something really big to happen last night but it was a bit lukewarm. Still glad to see lee get arrested and max back might stir things up a bit

Anyone else notice that Shirley was looking actually quite nice last night?

southeastdweller · 26/12/2016 09:23

They film 6 - 8 weeks in advance.

The80sweregreat · 26/12/2016 09:35

That was a bit spooky , hearing Heather's voice on the tape then the news late last night about George Michael. She was the ultimate fan, seems poignant now. ( never met him but it is sad news and he is my dh's age too!) Bring back Hev, can I start a petition?

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 26/12/2016 09:37

I haven't finished the christmas episode yety but It's unlikely Patrick would invite Derek but not Dot isn't it.

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 26/12/2016 10:37

It was a weird coincidence.

Especially as the mystery presents seem to be from dead people.

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 26/12/2016 10:45

Shoudl have waited until the end before i typed that... Grin

Odd episode yesterday, powercut was during the queens speach so around 3pm, who still hasn't started cooking turkey at 3pm?

Michelle went out for some air & nobody noticed that she didn't return!

Where did Max get a Turkey?

How did they manage to cook a totally raw turkey in the same amount of time it took to finish off Ian's almost done beef wellington?

Has lee really been arrested for the pub robbery or for nicking the neighbours parcel?

What the bloody hell is that cat all about & why did dot take it to the pub in her bag Confused

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 26/12/2016 11:41

The most unbeliveable thing yesterday was that there is ANOTHER laundrette nearby on the highstreet, one that is still active and called sudcity.

MrsJayy · 26/12/2016 12:00

Why did they humph a washing machine over the square just to humph it back to Dots house ? I didnt like the nudge nudge Derek fancies patrick either was a rubbish episode although Lee did get arrested and Chelle fowler grew a new head and height

woodhill · 26/12/2016 13:39

Michelle looks dated.

Who in real life rocks up like that from the USA. You would check first if it's ok to stay with your d.b

MrsJayy · 26/12/2016 13:44

Yes I know you don't just turn up and sit about outside. Wonder how long she is here for or why bet she is secretly Livid about Mark knowing who his real dad is

The80sweregreat · 26/12/2016 13:57

New Chelle looks out of place. Even Sharon didnt look that over the moon to have her about! ( whers the real Michelle and what you done with her? )

knorrig · 26/12/2016 14:08

Apparently they really tried to get original Chelle back but she refused.

dingdongdigeridoo · 26/12/2016 14:21

The old Chelle is a director and producer now. Apparently they've tried to get her back for years.

I noticed that nobody seemed that impressed to see her! I love how easy it is to move to and from the USA in this show.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/12/2016 14:42

The huuuuge raw turkey sitting on top of the Christmas veg .....eek there's a cross contamination risk if ever there was one
Xmas Shock

Maybe that's Max's intentions though.
Poisoned Christmas Pud
Salmonella veg from turkey drip
Explosive crackers maybe?

And what about the huge tub of chocolate sweets that Amy had..totally unknown brand of course (BBC) but looked a bit like Celebrations by another name.
Amy going all shy 'n' daft Hmm she's the most confident child usually.

The80sweregreat · 26/12/2016 14:48

Where has Max been living?
Where do soap people go?

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 26/12/2016 15:15

I had to laugh at the "Christmas" brand sweets.

MrsJayy · 26/12/2016 15:26

Did anybody notice Martin said facebook instead of facemates or whatever the EE version is when they got the turkey. Wonder if stacey got a Max branning likes this to her need a turkey status

The80sweregreat · 26/12/2016 16:16

Yep, Martin said facebook. Are they allowed to?
Roxy and that ruddy bread sauce! (Does marching powder do this to you? )
Jacks tank top circa '76 needs burning
I hope he doesnt wear it to the wedding.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 26/12/2016 16:17

They normally call it 'matesgate'

MrsJayy · 26/12/2016 16:21

Maybe a slip up got through is it matesgate. I couldn't remember. Roxy was doing my nut in with her bread sauce

The80sweregreat · 26/12/2016 16:39

Me too mrsjayy! She is an annoying woman.
