A Visit to Albert Square, Walford

What a fantastic evening last night. Carly and I were invited by Sue Caplin (my friend) and Sam (Carly’s friend) to spend an evening on the Albert Square set with the Eastenders stars and more. We had got tickets but we were told it would be first come first served. So at 4 o’clock I scooted with Carly out of school. (not easy as Carly was laden with birthday pressies). We arrived at the set at about 5.30pm and stood in the queue. Oh I forgot to say. Carly and Sam had to look 18 to get in so we told them they had to wear make-up (something they both hate doing).
We started filming soon after that. It is going to be on Christmas Eve and it is a musical sing-a-long programme with old and new cast members as well as a host of other stars. We saw Lulu, Liberty X, loads of cast members who just mingled in with us on the set.

"The Vic"

It was quite a long, cold evening as we had a lot of retakes and singing to do.
The highlight of the evening for Sam and Carly was to meet Anthony from Blue.

Shane Richie is just as lovely in the flesh as he is on screen.

Albert Square was smaller than it looked but it was great to be there.
Thank you Sue and Sam for letting us come with you.
By the way we wern't allowed to take photos..........whoops..........
