And a very stupid cliffhanger as well. The entire fallout of Pauline's death, and the funeral itself has been absolutely pathetic. No way would what happened last night happen in real life, re. the police turning up, no proper post-mortem. Awful.
Quite true Richie. Appalling that no-one bothered to research this story properly.

Who decided it was a Brain Hemorage. What caused the Brain Hemorage

Fact - The funeral could NOT have taken place without a death certificate being issued or permission from the coroner.

Fact - In the event of a sudden or unexpected death such as Pauline's there would almost certainly have been a post mortem carried out.

Interesting point - Walford Council must be the only council in the UK to permit funerals on New Years Day

I think the Metopolitan Police would have handled matters better than that.

All that said I think Sarah Phelps mad the best of the poor storyline

I thought the writers would have learnt their lessons from the poor way in which Barry's death was handled

Obviously the law does not apply in EE Land
