I don't think it's necessarily the episodes themselves -- just the fact that they're completely out of place. We're in the middle of such a huge storyline, and suddenly everything's put on hold for a week. It's ridiculous.

I was thinking that they may have done this France week now so that they could film more scenes at Elstree so that the whole cast can have some time off at Xmas. The characters that are likely to feature heavily in the next few months episodes are going to be Chrissie, Dennis, Sharon, Kat and Alfie and I remember reading in the 20th birthday book on EE that they film more scenes, usually in a foreign location, in the run up Xmas so the cast can have a Xmas break.
I agree that the timing is stupid. I personally would have preferred some scenes in France and some in Walford to balance the episodes out more.
Yeah but that covered they get two off at xmas dont they that why they flim 8 weeks an ahead for xmas
Ditto. They could have mixed it with some interaction with the square. Instead of a week in France. :thumbsdowQuote:

I thought that they would have shown the france episodes as Eastender specials.Like the one where peggy went looking for frank in spain.
I thought those Spain episodes were shown as part of the regular episodes. They were when they were shown recently on UK Gold anyway :searchme:. Peggy in Spain was almost as bad as the losers in France. I don't know why the episodes are generally so bad when they go abroad. It is almost like the writers can't write decent episodes unless they are set in dreary Walford.Quote:
