Considering the logistics, the risks and the like, thought tonight was superb entertainment.

I watched it for the first time in about 20 years- nothing else on - and thought it was staggeringly awful - badly written, cardboard sets and just abominably acted.

I thought that was totally awesome - easily the best ever soap episode in history.

The scenes with Bradley and Stacey were heartbreaking - as was the ending.

I am still in total shock - and I am not really a soap sort of person.

The production and cast were spot on - and the pace was so quick for a live show it made you feel that you were almost there - the tension was palpable. Totally different feel than a normal episode.

LACEY " STACEY" has to be the best TV actress in the World. She is amazing. Makes the Hollywood actresses look wooden. She has the lot.

Never watched this since the "Dirty Den" years. Had me on the edge of my seat. Full credit to the actors and production crew. Was so good I watched the follow up on BBC3. Have to admit I might start watching it again. Flippin eck!

Dont think ive ever watched more than half a dozen episodes in all of its twenty five year run. Watched the Winter Olympics on BBC2 instead. The mens Super G Skiing event. Dramatic, exciting and entertaining in every way that Deadenders has never been or will ever be.

And of course the Queen of TV reviews - indeed, in a just world the queen of everything - Nancy Banks Smith in The Guardian (reason enough to buy the paper)...

On the odd occasion the Easties theme tune will start up and I'll panic and desperately search for the remote. Th theme tune alone sends me into a deep deep depression especially on these inclement dark nights...which for some reason appear to be going on forever this year.

Can someone wave a magic wand and let it be Spring please?

Perhaps a quick burst of Mary My Love might fetch the bunny wabbits scampering from out of their hideouts and at least make the blossom start twitching.
