<a href="/wiki/Soap_opera" title="Soap opera">soap opera</a> created by <a href="/wiki/Julia_Smith_(producer)" title="Julia Smith (producer)">Julia Smith</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tony_Holland" title="Tony Holland">Tony Holland</a> which has been broadcast on <a href="/wiki/BBC_One" title="BBC One">BBC One</a> since February 1985. Set in the fictional borough of <a href="/wiki/Walford" title="Walford">Walford</a> in the <a href="/wiki/East_End_of_London" title="East End of London">East End of London</a>, the programme follows the stories of local residents and their families as they go about their daily lives. Within eight months of the show's original launch, it had reached the number one spot in <a href="/wiki/BARB" class="mw-redirect" title="BARB">BARB</a>'s television ratings, and has consistently remained among the top-rated series in Britain. Four EastEnders episodes are listed in the all-time top 10 <a href="/wiki/List_of_most_watched_television_broadcasts_in_the_United_Kingdom#Most_watched_programmes" title="List of most watched television broadcasts in the United Kingdom">most-watched programmes</a> in the UK, including the number one spot, when over 30 million watched the 1986 Christmas Day episode.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> EastEnders has been <a href="/wiki/EastEnders_in_popular_culture" title="EastEnders in popular culture">important</a> in the history of British television drama, tackling many subjects that are considered to be controversial or <a href="/wiki/Taboo" title="Taboo">taboo</a> in <a href="/wiki/British_culture" class="mw-redirect" title="British culture">British culture</a>, and portraying a social life previously unseen on UK mainstream television.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Since co-creator Holland was from a large family in the East End, a theme heavily featured in EastEnders is strong families, and each character is supposed to have their own place in the fictional community. The <a href="/wiki/Watts_family" title="Watts family">Watts</a>, <a href="/wiki/Beale_family" title="Beale family">Beales/Fowlers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mitchell_family" title="Mitchell family">Mitchells</a>, <a href="/wiki/Branning_family" title="Branning family">Brannings</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Slater_family_(EastEnders)" title="Slater family (EastEnders)">Slaters</a> are some of the families that have been central to the soap's notable and dramatic storylines. EastEnders has been filmed at the <a href="/wiki/BBC_Elstree_Centre" title="BBC Elstree Centre">BBC Elstree Centre</a> since its inception, with a set that is outdoors and open to weather. In 2014, the BBC announced plans to rebuild the set entirely. Filming commenced on the new set in January 2022,<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> and it was first used on-screen in March 2022.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Demolition on the old set commenced in November 2022.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> EastEnders has received both praise and criticism for many of its storylines, which have dealt with difficult themes including violence, rape, murder and abuse. It has been criticised for various storylines, including the <a href="#Baby_swap">2010 baby swap storyline</a>, which attracted over 6,000 complaints, as well as complaints of showing too much violence and allegations of national and racial stereotypes. However, EastEnders has also been commended for representing real-life issues and spreading awareness on social topics. The cast and crew of the show have received and been nominated for <a href="/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_EastEnders" title="List of awards and nominations received by EastEnders">various awards</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Conception_and_preparations_for_broadcast">Conception and preparations for broadcast</h3></div> In March 1983, under two years before EastEnders' first episode was broadcast, the show was a vague idea in the mind of a handful of BBC executives, who decided that what <a href="/wiki/BBC_One" title="BBC One">BBC One</a> needed was a popular bi-weekly drama series that would attract the kind of mass audiences that ITV were getting with <a href="/wiki/Coronation_Street" title="Coronation Street">Coronation Street</a>.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p10-6">[6]</a> The first people to whom David Reid, then head of series and serials, turned were <a href="/wiki/Julia_Smith_(producer)" title="Julia Smith (producer)">Julia Smith</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tony_Holland" title="Tony Holland">Tony Holland</a>, a well established producer/script editor team who had first worked together on <a href="/wiki/Z-Cars" title="Z-Cars">Z-Cars</a>.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p10-6">[6]</a> The outline that Reid presented was vague: two episodes a week, 52 weeks a year.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p11-7">[7]</a> After the concept was put to them on 14 March 1983, Smith and Holland then went about putting their ideas down on paper; they decided it would be set in the East End of London.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p10-6">[6]</a> <a href="/wiki/Granada_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Granada Television">Granada Television</a> gave Smith unrestricted access to the Coronation Street production for a month so that she could get a sense of how a continuing drama was produced.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> There was anxiety at first that the viewing public would not accept a new soap set in the south of England, though research commissioned by lead figures in the BBC revealed that southerners would accept a northern soap, northerners would accept a southern soap and those from the <a href="/wiki/Midlands" title="Midlands">Midlands</a>, as <a href="/wiki/Julia_Smith_(producer)" title="Julia Smith (producer)">Julia Smith</a> herself pointed out, did not mind where it was set as long as it was somewhere else.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p11-7">[7]</a> This was the beginning of a close and continuing association between EastEnders and audience research, which, though commonplace today, was something of a revolution in practice.<a href="#cite_note-20years_p11-7">[7]</a> The show's creators were both Londoners, but when they researched Victorian squares, they found massive changes in areas they thought they knew well; however, delving further into the East End of London, they found exactly what they had been searching for: a real East End spirit, an inward-looking quality, a distrust of strangers and authority figures, a sense of territory and community that the creators summed up as "Hurt one of us and you hurt us all".<a href="#cite_note-20years_p11-7">[7]</a> When developing EastEnders, both Smith and Holland looked at influential models like Coronation Street, but they found that it offered a rather outdated and nostalgic view of working-class life. Only after EastEnders began, and featured the characters of <a href="/wiki/Tony_Carpenter" title="Tony Carpenter">Tony Carpenter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kelvin_Carpenter" title="Kelvin Carpenter">Kelvin Carpenter</a>, did Coronation Street start to feature black characters, for example.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> They came to the conclusion that Coronation Street had grown old with its audience, and that EastEnders would have to attract a younger, more socially extensive audience, ensuring that it had the longevity to retain it for many years thereafter.<a href="#cite_note-20years-10">[10]</a> They also looked at <a href="/wiki/Brookside_(TV_series)" title="Brookside (TV series)">Brookside</a>, but found there was a lack of central meeting points for the characters, making it difficult for the writers to intertwine different storylines, so EastEnders was set in <a href="/wiki/Albert_Square" class="mw-redirect" title="Albert Square">Albert Square</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Public_secrets_page_15-11">[11]</a> A previous UK soap set in an East End market was <a href="/wiki/Associated_Television" title="Associated Television">ATV</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Market_in_Honey_Lane" title="Market in Honey Lane">Market in Honey Lane</a>; however, between 1967 and 1969, this show, which graduated from one showing a week to two in three separate series (the latter series being shown in different time slots across the ITV network) was very different in style and approach from EastEnders.

EastEnders has always featured a culturally diverse cast which has included <a href="/wiki/Black_people" title="Black people">black</a>, Asian, <a href="/wiki/Turkish_people" title="Turkish people">Turkish</a>, Polish and Latvian characters. "The expansion of minority representation signals a move away from the traditional soap opera format, providing more opportunities for audience identification with the characters and hence a wider appeal".<a href="#cite_note-191">[191]</a><a href="#cite_note-192">[192]</a> Despite this, the programme has been criticised by the <a href="/wiki/Commission_for_Racial_Equality" title="Commission for Racial Equality">Commission for Racial Equality</a>, who argued in 2002 that EastEnders was not giving a realistic representation of the East End's "ethnic make-up". They suggested that the average proportion of visible minority faces on EastEnders was substantially lower than the actual ethnic minority population in East London boroughs, and it, therefore, reflected the East End in the 1960s, not the East End of the 2000s. The programme has since attempted to address these issues. A <a href="/wiki/Sari" title="Sari">sari</a> shop was opened and various characters of different ethnicities were introduced throughout 2006 and 2007, including the Fox family, the Ahmeds, and various background artists.<a href="#cite_note-193">[193]</a> This was part of producer <a href="/wiki/Diederick_Santer" title="Diederick Santer">Diederick Santer</a>'s plan to "diversify", to make EastEnders "feel more 21st century".

Above all, we wanted <a href="/wiki/Realism_(arts)" title="Realism (arts)">realism</a>".<a href="#cite_note-Geraghty_page_16-208">[208]</a> In 2011, the head of BBC drama, <a href="/wiki/John_Yorke_(producer)" title="John Yorke (producer)">John Yorke</a>, said that the real East End had changed significantly since EastEnders started, and the show no longer truly reflected real life, but that it had an "emotional truthfulness" and was partly "true to the original vision" and partly "adapt[ing] to a changing world", adding that "If it was a show where every house cost a fortune and everyone drove a Lexus, it wouldn't be EastEnders. You have to show shades of that change, but certain things are immutable, I would argue, like The Vic and the market."<a href="#cite_note-Not_realistic-209">[209]</a> In the 1980s, EastEnders featured "gritty" storylines involving drugs and crime, representing the issues faced by working-class Britain under <a href="/wiki/Thatcherism" title="Thatcherism">Thatcherism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-210">[210]</a> Storylines included the cot death of 14-month-old <a href="/wiki/Hassan_Osman" class="mw-redirect" title="Hassan Osman">Hassan Osman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nick_Cotton" title="Nick Cotton">Nick Cotton</a>'s (<a href="/wiki/John_Altman_(actor)" title="John Altman (actor)">John Altman</a>) <a href="/wiki/Homophobia" title="Homophobia">homophobia</a>, racism and murder of <a href="/wiki/Reg_Cox" class="mw-redirect" title="Reg Cox">Reg Cox</a> (Johnnie Clayton),<a href="#cite_note-issues-211">[211]</a> <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Fowler" title="Arthur Fowler">Arthur Fowler</a>'s (<a href="/wiki/Bill_Treacher" title="Bill Treacher">Bill Treacher</a>) unemployment reflecting the recession of the 1980s, the rape of <a href="/wiki/Kathy_Beale" title="Kathy Beale">Kathy Beale</a> (<a href="/wiki/Gillian_Taylforth" title="Gillian Taylforth">Gillian Taylforth</a>) in 1988 by <a href="/wiki/James_Willmott-Brown" title="James Willmott-Brown">James Willmott-Brown</a> (<a href="/wiki/William_Boyde" title="William Boyde">William Boyde</a>)<a href="#cite_note-issues-211">[211]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michelle_Fowler" title="Michelle Fowler">Michelle Fowler</a>'s (<a href="/wiki/Susan_Tully" title="Susan Tully">Susan Tully</a>) teenage pregnancy. The show also dealt with prostitution, mixed-race relationships, shoplifting, sexism, divorce, domestic violence and mugging. In 1989, the programme came under criticism in the British media for being too depressing, and according to writer <a href="/wiki/Colin_Brake" title="Colin Brake">Colin Brake</a>, the programme makers were determined to change this.<a href="#cite_note-First10Years_p70-34">[34]</a> In 1989, there was a deliberate attempt to increase the lighter, more comic aspects of life in Albert Square. This led to the introduction of some characters who were deliberately conceived as comic or light-hearted.<a href="#cite_note-First10Years_p70-34">[34]</a> Brake suggested that humour was an important element in EastEnders' storylines during 1989, with a greater amount of slapstick and light comedy than before. He classed 1989's changes as a brave experiment, and suggested that while some found this period of EastEnders entertaining, many other viewers felt that the comedy stretched the programme's credibility.<a href="#cite_note-First10Years_p70-34">[34]</a> Although the programme still covered many issues in 1989, such as domestic violence, drugs, rape and racism, Brake reflected that the new emphasis on a more balanced mix between "light and heavy storylines" gave the illusion that the show had lost a "certain edge".<a href="#cite_note-First10Years_p70-34">[34]</a> As the show progressed into the 1990s, EastEnders still featured hard-hitting issues such as <a href="/wiki/Mark_Fowler" title="Mark Fowler">Mark Fowler</a> (<a href="/wiki/Todd_Carty" title="Todd Carty">Todd Carty</a>) revealing he was <a href="/wiki/HIV" title="HIV">HIV</a> positive<a href="#cite_note-issues-211">[211]</a> in 1991, the death of his wife <a href="/wiki/Gill_Fowler" class="mw-redirect" title="Gill Fowler">Gill</a> (Susanna Dawson) from an AIDS-related illness in 1992, murder, <a href="/wiki/Adoption" title="Adoption">adoption</a>, <a href="/wiki/Abortion" title="Abortion">abortion</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peggy_Mitchell" title="Peggy Mitchell">Peggy Mitchell</a>'s (<a href="/wiki/Barbara_Windsor" title="Barbara Windsor">Barbara Windsor</a>) battle with <a href="/wiki/Breast_cancer" title="Breast cancer">breast cancer</a>,<a href="#cite_note-issues-211">[211]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phil_Mitchell" title="Phil Mitchell">Phil Mitchell</a>'s (<a href="/wiki/Steve_McFadden" title="Steve McFadden">Steve McFadden</a>) alcoholism and violence towards wife Kathy. <a href="/wiki/Mental_health_issues" class="mw-redirect" title="Mental health issues">Mental health issues</a> were confronted in 1996 when 16-year-old <a href="/wiki/Joe_Wicks_(EastEnders)" title="Joe Wicks (EastEnders)">Joe Wicks</a> developed <a href="/wiki/Schizophrenia" title="Schizophrenia">schizophrenia</a> following the off-screen death of his sister in a car crash. The long-running storyline of Mark Fowler's HIV was so successful in raising awareness that in 1999, a survey by the National Aids Trust found teenagers got most of their information about HIV from the soap, though one campaigner noted that in some ways the storyline was not reflective of what was happening at the time as the condition was more common among the <a href="/wiki/Gay_community" class="mw-redirect" title="Gay community">gay community</a>.

Most of the buildings on Albert Square have no interior filming space, with a few exceptions, and most do not have rears or gardens. Some interior shots are filmed in the actual buildings.

The set would provide a modern, upgraded exterior filming resource for EastEnders, and copy the appearance of the existing buildings; however, it would be 20 per cent bigger, in order to enable greater editorial ambition and improve working conditions for staff. A temporary set would be created on-site to enable filming to continue while the permanent structure was rebuilt.<a href="#cite_note-digitalspy.co.uk-232">[232]</a> In May 2016, the rebuild was delayed until 2020, and forecast to cost in excess of £15 million,<a href="#cite_note-233">[233]</a> although the main part of the set was scheduled to be able to start filming in May 2019.<a href="#cite_note-234">[234]</a> In December 2018, it was revealed that the new set was now planned to cost £59 million but a <a href="/wiki/National_Audit_Office_(United_Kingdom)" title="National Audit Office (United Kingdom)">National Audit Office</a> (NAO) report stated that it would actually cost £86.7 million and be completed two-and-a-half years later than planned, in 2023; the NAO concluded that the BBC "could not provide value for money on the project".<a href="#cite_note-EastEnders_set_over_budget-235">[235]</a> The NAO's forecast cost was more than the annual combined budget for <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_1" title="BBC Radio 1">BBC Radio 1</a> and <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_2" title="BBC Radio 2">Radio 2</a>.<a href="#cite_note-236">[236]</a> The BBC said the new set would be more suitable for HD filming, and better reflect the modern East End of London.<a href="#cite_note-EastEnders_set_over_budget-235">[235]</a> In March 2019 there was criticism from a group of MPs about how the BBC handled the redevelopment of the set.<a href="#cite_note-237">[237]</a> In March 2020, during the suspension of filming, the interior sets were used for a new adaptation of <a href="/wiki/Talking_Heads_(British_TV_series)" title="Talking Heads (British TV series)">Talking Heads</a>.

EastEnders is often filmed on location, away from the studios in Borehamwood. Sometimes an entire quartet is filmed on location, which has a practical function and are the result of EastEnders making a "double bank", when an extra week's worth of episodes are recorded at the same time as the regular schedule, enabling the production of the programme to stop for a two-week break at Christmas.

This remains the highest rated episode of a soap in British television history.<a href="#cite_note-BARB-356">[356]</a> In 2001, EastEnders clashed with Coronation Street for the first time. EastEnders won the battle with 8.4 million viewers (41% share) whilst Coronation Street lagged behind with 7.3 million viewers (34% share).<a href="#cite_note-362">[362]</a> On 21 September 2004, <a href="/wiki/Louise_Berridge" title="Louise Berridge">Louise Berridge</a>, the then executive producer, quit following criticism of the show.<a href="#cite_note-363">[363]</a> The following day the show received its lowest ever ratings at that time (6.2 million) when ITV scheduled an hour-long episode of Emmerdale against it. Emmerdale was watched by 8.1 million viewers. The poor ratings motivated the press into reporting viewers were bored with implausible and ill-thought-out storylines.<a href="#cite_note-364">[364]</a> Under new producers, EastEnders and Emmerdale continued to clash at times, and Emmerdale tended to come out on top, giving EastEnders lower than average ratings.<a href="#cite_note-365">[365]</a><a href="#cite_note-366">[366]</a> In 2006, EastEnders regularly attracted between 8 and 12 million viewers in official ratings.<a href="#cite_note-19mil-367">[367]</a> EastEnders received its second lowest ratings on 17 May 2007, when 4.0 million viewers tuned in. This was also the lowest ever audience share, with just 19.6 per cent. This was attributed to a conflicting one-hour special episode of Emmerdale on ITV1; however, ratings for the 10 pm EastEnders repeat on BBC Three reached an all-time high of 1.4 million. Despite this, there have been times when EastEnders had higher ratings than Emmerdale, despite the two going head-to-head.<a href="#cite_note-368">[368]</a><a href="#cite_note-369">[369]</a><a href="#cite_note-370">[370]</a> The ratings increased in 2010, thanks to the "<a href="/wiki/Who_Killed_Archie%3F" title="Who Killed Archie?">Who Killed Archie?</a>" storyline and second wedding of <a href="/wiki/Ricky_Butcher" title="Ricky Butcher">Ricky Butcher</a> (<a href="/wiki/Sid_Owen" title="Sid Owen">Sid Owen</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Bianca_Jackson" title="Bianca Jackson">Bianca Jackson</a> (<a href="/wiki/Patsy_Palmer" title="Patsy Palmer">Patsy Palmer</a>), and the show's first <a href="/wiki/EastEnders_Live" title="EastEnders Live">live episode</a> on 19 February 2010.<a href="#cite_note-Lifeblood-151">[151]</a> The live-episode averaged 15.6 million viewers, peaking at 16.6 million in the final five minutes of broadcast.<a href="#cite_note-371">[371]</a> In January 2010, the average audience was higher than that of Coronation Street for the first time in three years.<a href="#cite_note-Lifeblood-151">[151]</a> During the 30th anniversary week, in which there were live elements and the climax of the <a href="/wiki/Who_Killed_Lucy_Beale%3F" title="Who Killed Lucy Beale?">Who Killed Lucy Beale?</a> storyline, 10.84 million viewers tuned in for the 30th anniversary episode itself in an hour long special on 19 February 2015 (peaking with 11.9 million).

Despite once being the highest-rated soap, it dropped to third in the rankings in 2021, behind Coronation Street and Emmerdale, with 4.09 million viewers. The BBC's head of drama, <a href="/wiki/Piers_Wenger" title="Piers Wenger">Piers Wenger</a>, explained that since the episode duration had been shortened and the airtime frequently suffered changes, it had led to the audience not knowing when to watch it. Digital Spy opined that the ratings drop was accredited to "lacklustre storylines" and thought that storylines on rival soaps were better.<a href="#cite_note-375">[375]</a> Later that year, EastEnders suffered its lowest rating ever, with 1.7 million viewers watching live. The <a href="/wiki/Daily_Mirror" title="Daily Mirror">Daily Mirror</a>'s Jamie Roberts felt that viewers had "turned their back" on the soap due to its lack of interesting stories and iconic characters.<a href="#cite_note-Turned-376">[376]</a> Ratings expert Stephen Price also noted that the drop is partly due to the rise of <a href="/wiki/Streaming_services" class="mw-redirect"

<a href="/wiki/Watershed_(television)" class="mw-redirect" title="Watershed (television)">watershed</a> policy. She regarded EastEnders as a fundamental assault on the family and morality itself. She made reference to representation of family life and emphasis on psychological and emotional violence within the show. She was also critical of language such as "bleeding", "bloody hell", "bastard" and "for Christ's sake"; however, Whitehouse also praised the programme, describing <a href="/wiki/Michelle_Fowler" title="Michelle Fowler">Michelle Fowler</a>'s decision not to have an abortion as a "very positive storyline". She also felt that EastEnders had been cleaned up as a result of her protests, though she later commented that EastEnders had returned to its old ways. Her criticisms were widely reported in the tabloid press as ammunition in its existing hostility towards the BBC. The stars of Coronation Street in particular aligned themselves with Mary Whitehouse, gaining headlines such as "STREETS AHEAD! RIVALS LASH SEEDY EASTENDERS" and "CLEAN UP SOAP! Street Star Bill Lashes "Steamy" EastEnders".<a href="#cite_note-391">[378]</a> EastEnders has been criticised for being too violent, most notably during a <a href="/wiki/Domestic_violence" title="Domestic violence">domestic violence</a> storyline between <a href="/wiki/Little_Mo_Morgan" class="mw-redirect" title="Little Mo Morgan">Little Mo Morgan</a> (<a href="/wiki/Kacey_Ainsworth" title="Kacey Ainsworth">Kacey Ainsworth</a>) and her husband <a href="/wiki/Trevor_Morgan_(EastEnders)" title="Trevor Morgan (EastEnders)">Trevor Morgan</a> (<a href="/wiki/Alex_Ferns" title="Alex Ferns">Alex Ferns</a>). As EastEnders is shown pre-watershed, there were worries that some scenes in this storyline were too graphic for its audience. Complaints against a scene in which Little Mo's face was pushed in gravy on Christmas Day were upheld by the Broadcasting Standards Council; however, a helpline after this episode attracted over 2000 calls. <a href="/wiki/Erin_Pizzey" title="Erin Pizzey">Erin Pizzey</a>, who became internationally famous for having started one of the first <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_refuges" class="mw-redirect" title="Women's refuges">women's refuges</a>, said that EastEnders had done more to raise the issue of violence against women in one story than she had done in 25 years.<a href="#cite_note-392">[379]</a> The character of <a href="/wiki/Phil_Mitchell" title="Phil Mitchell">Phil Mitchell</a> (played by <a href="/wiki/Steve_McFadden" title="Steve McFadden">Steve McFadden</a> since early 1990) has been criticised on several occasions for glorifying violence and proving a bad role model to children.

The BBC responded by stating: "EastEnders has been a pre-watershed BBC One staple for over 37 years and has a rich history of dealing with challenging and difficult issues and Ben's story is one of these. We have worked closely with organisations and experts in the field to tell this story which we hope will raise awareness of sexual assaults and the issues surrounding them.
