I’d have liked to have seen what the old set is like now and some close ups of the wood and plastic they said it was built from. They should’ve also shown inside the Queen Vic now.
The new set is absolutely amazing I really like it every still looks exactly the same but when you see the wooden doors they look so much more fresh and modern
I watched this from its introduction in Australia in the 80s to when the ABC took it off. Does it still have the same theme tune, which is inside my head at the moment?
Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the old set and the new set? Either by video or through ariel view still photos. Just curious to see if there are any differences.
For example the minute mart or something is not actually set it has always been a real indoor shop on the square but it never used to have heating so with the door left open it be so cold but now it has heating built in
Hi Guy's my name is Mr C. T. Boxill-Harris I was wondering, why coudn't you find a nice fresh shiny Leyland Titan B15's and Repaint them to a Grey Green Colour’s just like the original Scania Grey Green's which were in the East London bus route's such as 125, 167, 179, 173, 168, 141, 66, 275, 313 and also the bus route 103, if you guy would like to find about 17 Leyland Titan B15's, please could you Repaint them in the Exact Grey Green Bus Colour’s and put them in EastEnders for all of us because it would be a Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Interesting Buses to see them Repainted to a Grey Green Colours and put them in EastEnders, Because I'am a Big Fan of all of those Leyland Titan B15 Buses 😉😉😉😄😄
Corrie had a new set built in 2014 and, when watching older episodes or archive clips, there are one or two telltale signs of which set they were using at the time. If you know what to look for, that is.
@@stevek6432 The 2014 Corrie set was designed to enable HD filming (which couldn't be done on the old set) and make filming easier for the actors and production crew. It also incorporated a police station, hospital A&E & wards and magistrates & crown court interiors for filming so the whole show could be filmed on one site, making it more cost effective and reducing the carbon footprint.
They have. They’ve changed some areas near the archers and behind Grays house. They’ve also built new signs and buildings around the set and added a new area outside the Albert.
We literally saw Steve blow up in a car. It would have been impossible for him to return. He was definitively dead. We never saw Kathy and Den actually die which is why they could loophole around it and bring them back.
£87 million compared to £10 million for Coronation Street set. It's easy to see who's having to earn their money to pay for the set while the other is paid for by the gullible folk still paying for the TV licence!
@@AndrewChapman no idea, bbc not cashing in like itv have? which is daft. i just like the way people ask can we visit like it's a given. if we could visit we'd know we could
It did not cost the licence fee payers a single penny. The money will be financed through BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC who produce Eastenders for BBC One. Eastenders is sold internationally, and through those commercial sales, the £85 million is brought back
@@johnking5174 if that’s the cases. Why are we paying license fees. If they are getting money from somewhere else. I don’t believe that for 1 second. Completely rubbish programme and is a waste of money. 86 million for a tv soap set it’s idiotic. They could make film for that and doubled their money. Overrated tv show.
@@soullove763 Hi. I can clarify that the commercial arm of the BBC has been there since the 1950s when the then conservative government felt the BBC could supplement their income from the licence fee by commercial means. Please remember, it is supplementing their licence fee. Now BBC Studios generally reports a profit of around £200 million a year. Bare in mind this is profit, and NOT the commonly reported £1 billion annual revenue. A lot of people confuse revenue with profit. That £200 million is given back to the main BBC. The licence fee is designed to cover the funding of programming that other commercial broadcasters would simply never touch. Production of religious programming. Coverage of parliament. Unprofitable documentaries. Kids programmes.
@@soullove763 All salaries for Eastenders cast are funded from BBC Studios, using their commercially generated financial revenue to fund them. This is the same for ALL BBC Studios productions. The Graham Norton Show for example is produced by So Television for BBC Studios. This is why Graham Norton's salary for his talk show is £3 million as it is commercial money paying it, and NOT licence fee money.
It did not cost the licence fee payers a single penny. The money will be financed through BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC who produce Eastenders for BBC One. Eastenders is sold internationally, and through those commercial sales, the £85 million is brought back.
Disgusting amount of tax payers money £87 million just to replicate a set which is almost exactly the same. The show isn’t what it was in the 80s and 90s.

Losing viewers but has 20% audience share which is quite something in this day and age. Even if Eastenders gets cancelled in 10 years time it'll still work out cheaper than filling the 7:30pm slot four nights a week with new content.
Eastenders does not rely on overnight audience viewers anymore. Millions watch it on demand on the BBC iPlayer. In fact a typical episode of Eastenders might get 3.5 million overnight viewers, but within a week that episode would rocket up to 6 million after BBC iPlayer views.
What a waste of big sum of money of the taxpayers when you can’t even tell the difference. They should just have stuck it out on the old set considering the flop in ratings now! 🙄
I need to clarify this - that £87 million is actually being funded from the commercial arm of the BBC - BBC Studios. Eastenders is produced by BBC Studios, and they use their commercially generated financial revenue to fund that £87 million
@@johnking5174 This information is interesting for these reasons: 1) It maybe BBC Studios who makes EE but they’re budget is allocated to them by BBC Head of Programs that comes from taxpayers licence fees. 2) the fact that BBC ‘s commercial arm BBC studio make stuff to sell overseas means that BBC actually makes money out of the produced stuff made by BBC Studios means that it proves that BBC can make their own revenues and become independent by being commercial & enterprising. So all they need to do is reinvest into the BBC by making programs they want to make without a) annoying their current employers ie the public and be accused of wasting taxpayers money. b) pay however much salary they want to pay their thousands of employees without having to justify it to the angry public.

So 8 months ago it went woke, i will mark it in my diary! Fed up with people saying things have gone woke, but no one actually explains what they mean. From what I can work out, it usually means they dont like seeing non white people and non straight people. Basically I guess they are saying they are bigoted and only want to see white heterosexuality on tv and nothing else! Or perhaps they are not happy there is not enough racism, sexism and homophobia shown to please their bigoted appetites. All I can say is, the "anti-woke" brigade are the biggest moaners and snowflakes going and to need to grow up! "ooooh theres a black person, im scared", "ooooh theres a man kissing a man, disgusting", "ooooh theres a woman in charge of her self, get back in the kitchen!"

bar the fact the sun's in the wrong place as it's flipped 90 degrees, queen vic door used to face west, now faces south
I wish they would open the old set to the public so we can tour it before they tear it down.
