- My last visit to this location was 2 months ago back in November , from then and coming back again today 2nd Jan 22 I have noticed they have now slowly started to dismantle the old set , from my November video to this one the car lot has now been dismantled and erected at the new site , the old set seems more grubby and untidy , the arghee bargi at the old set is a mess and most of the names of the businesses have been taken down and put up at the new set

Whilst I really like the motivation for the new set, I can’t help but think of the history they’ll be leaving behind from the old one.
Rewatched again and love how detailed the new set is compared to the old set. New sections / sets could mean new story lines or characters. I wished the allowed the old set to be opened up to visitors. That way they could get money back as they would get lots if customers / visitors. They do set tours for other soaps. Thanks again for sharing and uploading. This was so appreciated.
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?
A video popped up on my fyp on Tiktok of the cast members outside the studio. I had to do some research as I can't believe how there's normal houses right next to the set 😮. I bet they hear the night shoots 😂 must be amazing, thanks for this 😊
It looks amazing. The detail in the buildings. I worked on the original set during the 80's. Part of a small team of electrical contractors installing the power supplies for camera's and sound recording.
Spent many years from early 86 onwards going Elstee each weekend and school holidays with my mates getting signed photos, jumping over on to the Lott, getting caught lol. In fact the security office by the front gate is where the pilar box on the new Lott is. June brown used to give me a lift to the station many times, nearly got a lift off Leslie Grantham as he was going to see West Ham play , but wasn’t enough room for me and my mate so we both didn’t go , but there was a Debbie and a Matthew from Hastings that used to go up there each week too and I think it was Debbie that went and they picked up Nick berry on the way. In fact that Matthew I just mentioned June brown would keep in touch with me off and on and she said she starred in a play Matthew had written for the Edinburgh fringe and he then went on to write for emmerdale thanks to June. I got so many good memories from going up elstree, lots of photos , autographs, funny stories. It was eastenders that inspired me to become an actor.
This is amazing, not just seeing the set, but your piloting of the drone and excellent picture quality!
Thankyou
Great footage UK Drone Flyer, I haven't seen Eastenders in years but this makes me want to watch it again. I personally think British set makers are the best in the world. Elstree Studios has produced many amazing shows and movies over the years. Could not believe how close the set was to residential areas. Keep up the good work.
Crazy how real it looks!
Incredible! Looks like they have started filming on the new set as it’s being dressed and the old one beginning to look abandoned.
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
Thanks for the upload! This is fascinating!! :)
Really interesting, please do another update soon to see what happens to the old set as its slowly removed.
Lots of items you can see have been transfered over, the Albert Square Street signs, the Queen Vic hanging sign, the market stalls, the burglar alarm on Number 3, some of the curtains from the houses / above the Vic, Kathy's neon light, the signs that stuck out outside the shop & launderette, etc.
They've not yet moved or replicated the signal light above the railway bridge which has been there since the start, and note number 43 now has a loft conversion!
Pity they didn't make a behind the scenes programme from start to finish of the new build / completion / decommissioning of the old site etc!
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
Imagine living right next to the eastenders set like that!
Excellent work.
There’s a major difference between the two sets: at the end of Bridge Street, next to the gay bar, the road used to continue under a bridge and there was a bus stop and at least one shop on the other side. Now it’s a pedestrianised dead end, this can be seen at 5:31 .
Very Interesting. Of course, it is just a set. The Slater house, for example, would have to be big enough for 37 bedrooms on the second floor.
The new one looks much better, great to see all the changes but also how similar it is
thanks! great vid... would love to see the new set in more detail.... including the new rail station!
If you see my video from November you will see more of it
@@Official-UK-Drone-Flyer Thanks ill check it out! 👍🏻
Why cant they have fans visit the old set ?? pay a small fee for to visit for half a day to walk around and have your photo taken with the Vic in the background maybe one or two of the stars of the show to do a meet and greet. This would be nice ??
What’s that salmon n white coloured building used for next to the vic ?
Wow that’s amazing
Thankyou once again
Imagine living knowing the set is just down the road then of all sudden it’s next to your back garden
It will be interesting to see how they explain what happened to the bit by the Albert considering it used to be a road and on the new set there’s a shop
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 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.
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.
So strange seeing the two sets, will miss the old one. Wish they could of let us tour it... I suppose for health and safety reasons this was never a possibility.
£87 million pissed away
Fascinating video thanks for sharing. Do you know when they will be moving to the new set and what will happen to the old set?
They've started filming on the new set this week, so we'll probably see it in March
What drone are you using to record this? It's so crisp and smooth and the building penetration is amazing. I want to guess a Mavic air 2s or Mavic 3?
Is the old set the one that is down the side of the building (had cars on it in part 1 video) and the new set the one at the end of the building?
I can't work out which is the old set and which is the new one?
What drone do you use?
you should have gone for a peek in some of the windows, you thought about it a few times then backed away :)
The railway was behind the green bar building and now in the new set its in front and the entrance to Walford station is now modern and not the traditional entrance
Hi mate , do you have any footage of holby , think it’s filmed in the same place 👍
Can't tell if the area around where the arjee barjee is (on the old set) if all that building work is just dress setting, or if it's genuine building work and they are planning a phase 2 on the old set so they can still film down George street but it would match up with the new set where the tube bridge is blocked off.
Does anyone know what will eventually happen to the old Eastenders set when it is demolished?
They should keep it for the fans to have a tour, if they're smart they can be making money out of it.
This video quality is amazing! May I ask which drone did you film this with?
DJI mini 2
I went to Elstree a couple of days after this and saw the new set
Do you mind telling us exactly where it is ?
Which location!!
Which set is which can’t tell.
i don't watch but interesting why they do and how close real houses are
what has been added what is different from the old set. why did they need to make a whole new 2nd version at the high cost.
will people watching be able to tell the difference on which set there are using
I need to live in a house like this
All the shadows will be 90 degrees off.
bet people living in them houses at the back get great views when they're filming
I wonder when the new set will be on TV? I guess we will know when cars are no longer turning left outside the Albert.
Wonder how they make the tarmac, flags etc look so old.
Would love to see the old set opened for public tours...... That said the rumour is the BBC are planning to sell their studios at Elstree and lease back part of it for EastEnders..... so likely the old set will be demolished and make way for housing as probably will a large portion of the studio complex there..... very sad if that happens as the lot was used going back to ATV/Central days 'Honey lane' and 'Auf wiedershen pet' were made there........
The old set is going to be used for a few other sets for EastEnders I believe
Please do another one while they are demolishing the old set. Please!
Looks so cool so are they real houses in the new set?
We’re about in London is this set based
UPDATE: They've started filming on the new set today!
could you please fly over holby set? x
The illusion is broken :-(
Hopefully no one shits on Arthur Fowler’s bench this time 😂
Why is the new set rotated by 45 deg?
90
It looks really good but where is the tube station?
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
4:14 ring tone made me go through all my phones only to realise it's coming from this video 🤦♂️
I can’t tell which is the new one
As of 11th January 2022 the new set is now in service and production has begun there.
So which house was Pauline's? I thought it was the one with the face painted on it but it seems I was wrong. I swear, I watched this from the 1990 episodes to the March 2009 episodes when the BBC pulled the plug on the U.S. last year, and if you dropped me in the square, I'd be lost. I have no idea which house anyone lived in nor where any of the shops are. I should add, great video!!
It is the one with the mural painted on it
Is that someone’s real garden behind Phil’s house?
Coronation Street also has 2 sets
Notice how Denny's bench and the Car Lot portacabin are now on the new set?
Shouldn't be too long until they start filming on it.
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
Does anybody notice on the old set George Street slowly being torn down😐
Love the details, but think they missed a truck, they could have added one or two more houses next door to Phil’s house.
"they missed a truck," Albert Square is too small for a truck to fit, not even a fire engine 👀🏃♀️😭😲
Which one is the new one and which one is the old one?
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
New set looks great.
Lets hope it improves things in the ratings, with EE being in 3rd place behind Emmerdale & Corrie, & viewing figures still falling! Just need new scriptwriters now, and bring back Ross Kemp ffs!!
Can’t see a new tube station, police station or park?
Police station at 2.37 , 9.08 , tube station at 3.22
Can’t you fly it when they are filming?
I think they would get pretty annoyed
I would definitely try it lol.
Not unless you want to be a huge prick
The old grange hill set in the back ground
Where? What’s the time stamp
The top half of the Vic (the living part) the layout is 180° the wrong way if it was real
The new set doesn't look that much different
No police station, no tube station, no allotment? Or am I just blind?
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.
Er which set is the new one? and why make a new set?
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
Did you know that since the first episode of eastenders, there have been 98,677 arguments screened. Apparently, soaps are dependant on contentions between people to make drama. It’s rather sad that no one has been able to write a script without dependence on strife.
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?
I don't like it when soaps change sets and abandon all that history and memories. Whats the point ? It really frustrates me to be honest.
After Wendy Richard left 2006 and so sadly died......I wish TODAY....I could knock on a door there at that studio and say "hello. I'm looking for my Aunt Pauline".....and that would be a new character from the US ...(me) and the actor would say "come in, let's talk"...(.the my dream would come true.)
Holby City top right 17:05
I was confused. Not sure which was new and which was not…
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.
Isn’t the set built in the place where the big brother house was
Big Brother was filmed right next to Tesco !
This is bizarre.
How so
95 million quid its cost !!!!! Disgusting... especially when nobody watches it like they did years ago
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!
The programme it self should stop it's rubbish
Go and watch TOWIE and Hollyoaks then kid
It was the perfect time to get rid of that 💩 on the side of Ian’s house but they left it in 🙄
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.
I just report this video to the police 👮♀️
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
