EASTENDERS SET INCLUDING THE NEW SET PART 2 - 4K - 2ND JAN 2022 

I actually walked around the original set in 1985 and still have a lot of the original cast members autographs in an orange old exercise book from school!

Good idea, they should do that. I think they would get a good response.

I dont think that would be practical as the whole studio complex is working more or less 7 days a week.

They should definitely do a set tour for the public but I guess that's difficult with filming happening on site everyday.

You still watch this s*it?

Thankyou

I remember "coronation street a moving story" came out about a week before the new set for Corrie was seen on screen, so perhaps they could have made a documentary and will bring it out in February. If not there will at the very least be some kind of set tour, or a short 10 minute documentary about the new/old set.

Blimey, you’re observant

The new set looks like real buildings. Do you know if the new set is using real buildings?

@@optimallyaceyt Martin Kemp did an item for The One Show showing the new set, and yes the new buildings are heated and partially furnished so they can use them for filming

Maybe there will be a big stunt or something

Good point! George Street has vanished.

@@chrisquincey6829 it would have made sense if the bomb had of gone off, then that part would have been boarded up for ages and that would explain, but don’t see why they would do that and what’s gonna happen to the tube station

@@jackround8692 exactly that’s why I thought they did it. Was a bit surprised when they didn’t have a explosion. Normally fires are their way of hiding these things

Well the video from November shows that there are boards up around that are, you can actually see those boards on the old set in this video, they have just been partially taken down. It looks like it will be mentioned on screen as some kind of "regeneration project" by the council or something I reckon. Or there could still be some kind of fire storyline of some kind in the next couple of months.

The old set was held together with gaffer tape in many places

@@nikkic36 Wait, you're not suggesting the BBC are a bunch of cheapskates, are you?

the 'grubbiness' was intentional on the part of Tony Holland and Julia Smith (I believe). By principle its WAY too easy for new buildings to LOOK new, but they wanted the set to look aged and lived in so they devised to slightly damage the set. Like for instance breaking fence posts or breaking pavement or curb slabs and drilling pot holes into the roads. It was meant to emulate that part of East London, it was grubby and full of gangs. There were points during the sets construction that it was mentioned that Julia Smith notably asked that an already finished brick wall (for one of the house gardens) be dismantled and rebuilt to look crooked. Today, EastEnders has a different goal, London is a much more posh place to live in, with the gentrification and all. So the new set is meant to look a little cleaned up and show off this changing world from IRL. The limitations of the old set is that it was mostly built with plywood and it doesnt show well in HD, while the new set is build fully of brick, like the proper buildings it's meant to take on.

Thankyou once again

They've started filming on the new set this week, so we'll probably see it in March

If you see my video from November you will see more of it

@@Official-UK-Drone-Flyer Thanks ill check it out! 👍🏻

DJI mini 2

Denny had a bench?

@@hussainmartins5985 Yeah, Phil bought one in West Ham colours after he died. You can see it at about 7:09 on the new set.

By the looks of it they will probably start filming on the new set from the 4th Jan. So I'd expect we will start seeing it from late February-early march time

Police station at 2.37 , 9.08 , tube station at 3.22

The old set is going to be used for a few other sets for EastEnders I believe

I thnik people tune in because they get to see unfortunate souls who are worse off than they are, thereby making themselves feel better.

Who’s keeping count?

Tube is not built on the new set yet but on the old set it is opposite the arches you can see it better on my video from November

The Tube has now moved. The new set is smaller and the bridge they used to go under down from the Fish and Chip shop on Turpin Road down to George street is now closed off again (as it used to be in the 90’s) and will become the new tube entrance, right next door to the Dagmar/Prince Albert. The original tube on the old set used to be accessed through under that Bridge next to the Dagmar/Prince Albert into George street where the Arghee Barji used to be and beyond the houses where Billy used to live.

@@Official-UK-Drone-Flyer judging by the aerial view they'll be keeping George Street on the old set, as well as the park and police station as there's no sign of them being built on the new lot, they look like they're building something on the old set to block the road so they can still film on George street

It is the one with the mural painted on it

"they missed a truck," Albert Square is too small for a truck to fit, not even a fire engine 👀🏃‍♀️😭😲

They should keep it for the fans to have a tour, if they're smart they can be making money out of it.

Old is the first set the drone flies to and new is the second set the drone flies to

@@Official-UK-Drone-Flyer thank you

I think they would get pretty annoyed

I would definitely try it lol.

Not unless you want to be a huge prick

Your blind lol

@@Official-UK-Drone-Flyer definitely no tube station, definitely no allotment & no police station??

@@CT_97 you need to look harder m8. , frame by frame 😉

@@CT_97 nope I couldn't see it either. New Mosque not visible, no new allotments, or police station. An entire road seems missing.

Yep they've got rid of George street, however they rebuilt George street on the old set about 5 years ago, and if u look at the video u can see on the old set that they are covering the other side of the bridge to match the new set. I believe the plan is to keep that part of the old set and demolish the rest of it.

The original set was only suppose to be temporary and was built when there was no such thing as HD or 4K so it was a bit grubby. All these years later and they’ve still been using it. They needed new sets with much more detail to enable them to continue to film in HD and maybe 4K.

They like to waste tv licence payers money. All this is costing £87+ million of tv licence payers money for a failing show. I am glad I don't pay the tv licence

Old set is the first one I fly to , where there’s no back to the houses

As clear as mud , a commentary would help

🤣 thats how crap the show is.

Where? What’s the time stamp

It’s their money not yours so what’s it gotta do with you

That's alright. 18 houses, a pub, various retail properties and flats in London would be worth far more than that!

How so

Big Brother was filmed right next to Tesco !

Go and watch TOWIE and Hollyoaks then kid

BBC. Gotta have the virtue signalling. They think that's what everyone wants.

What's wrong with it

Aw we found a racist ✌🏻

@@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome oh stop. It’s a painting of a black woman, get over it snowflake.

@@mrdr0161 she’s a racist so of course she wouldn’t like it.

Grass?

Better report all your videos. Everyone is breaking copyright laws

@@nikkic36 dunno about copyright laws, but I am sure he is breaking CAA rules

Just soaps 2021 Haven't you got anything better to do? You live a sad life.

Same could be said for your videos
