Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

Yet another great example of Walford not being in the United Kingdom last night. Alfie "surprises" Roxy with a sign showing she is now joint licensee of the Queen Vic. Never mind the fact that she would have had to apply herself, get herself registered, sign various documents etc., none of which can be done "on your behalf" by someone else.

Also, if Bianca is so broke, why does she spend most of the day in the cafe? Wouldn't it be cheaper to have tea or coffee at home?

would Alfie get a licence so easily himself with a criminal record?

and Kat had one too, I thought the reason Phil wasnt licensee at any point in the history of him owning it was his record?

[parkerman]

If an applicant for a Personal Licence has unspent˜relevant offences' or ˜foreign offences', the licensing authority can grant the licence only after having consulted the local police. If the police then object on the grounds that the ˜Crime Reduction' objective of the Licensing Act would be undermined by granting the application, then the application must be refused. The applicant can appeal the refusal and this will require a hearing. In practical terms, if an applicant has an unspent offence the police will object and in most cases the licence will end up not being granted. An offence is ˜spent' after a period of time, 5, 7 or 10 years depending on seriousness. Offences which are never˜spent' are those where the offender was sentenced to 32 months in prison or more.

The police would certainly object to Phil having a licence. Maybe Alfie would get away with it. However, you have brought up another point. Alfie doesn't own the Vic, it's not up to him to make Roxy a licensee, even if he could.

I am assuming with all this that Roxy had already passed her Personal Licence exam as I believe she did have a licence once before. Nevertheless, that wouldn't mean she wouldn't have to go through the whole process again. Alfie can't just make her a licensee.

You don't want to read that again, interesting and informative as it was!

Didnt Phil also make Roxy manager so she is Alfie's boss no?

I hate how Alfie is always helping Kat he needs a clean break from her

[parkerman]

Yes, I believe so.

See, I feel so strongly about it, I even believe it twice!

Why didnt Phil take Lola with him to meet Peggy in Cornwall and why the hell didnt Peggy come back for Pat's funeral if she is in Cornwall?

I could rant all day about Eastenders

The plots of EastEnders come from another planet, but that's why I like watching it, to get away from real life for half an hour. I just suspend belief and enjoy the (mostly) good acting!And when I can't understand the plot, I just post on this excellent forum
