Having just written about Anyone Can Fall In Love, Anita Dobson’s song set to the EastEnders theme tune, I thought I’d go for an EastEnders themed survey this week.
Given this is an eighties site, I figure many of you reading this will have been around when EastEnders first aired, so I’m curious to find out whether the show is still popular with people from this era, simply because they started watching it when they were a kid and have not stopped. Please choose the option below which best fits your viewing habits for EastEnders.

My mum used to watch it so it was on and therefore I remember some of the original characters, and it was quite a big thing at the time. I can’t honestly say I have ever really watched it though as I was more interested in going out on my BMX with my mates than watching soaps. I suppose it might have had more appeal for people who lived in London.
These days I don’t even have a TV or licence as there is nothing much that I want to watch.
Similar in our house. My Mum watched, so it was on when I was doing my homework or something.
Personally I wouldn’t want to live in Albert Square, or Emmerdale, or Coronation Street around Christmas time, as chances are I would end up run over, pregnant, divorced, bankrupt or murdered (and being a bloke that second one would be tricky to explain in the plot).
