Yet again the producers seem keen to pander to the Mitchell characters. Eastenders was never all about the Mitchells until the arrival of the Poison Dwarf. She made herself into a legend in her own mind. She thought she was Eastenders and that Albert Square should resolve round her and her criminal family. For once I agree with The Angel of Death Paul Marquess. The BBC hype machine promised so much but in the end delivered nothing other than yet another blaze in a run down east end pub. There will be no consequences for any of the Mitchell clan because the luvvies at Elstree are so concerned at keept The Poison Dwarf and Beetroot Man sweet so as they will return to this flagging soap.

What did the fire actually acheive. Well it allowed the Beeb to have an excuse to rebuild the Queen Vic at the Licence payers expense. It showed Peggy up for the shallow vacuous character she really is. All this bollocks about fairmily is as false as her candy floss like wigs.
