Partridge to play Jane's brother

Tue 20 Nov 2007

Look out for Jane Beale's brother, Christian, arriving in Walford. He'll be played by John Partridge.

Christian arrives in Walford after inviting Jane to his civil partnership ceremony. She's not keen on going, but Ian finds out and invites Christian and his partner for dinner.

John Partridge said of landing the role: "I'm delighted to be joining EastEnders and playing Christian. I think he's going to upset the apple cart at the Beales'."

Cranford starts next Sunday. I'm extremely interested.

So am I!

So am I!

First of a new five-part costume drama starring Judi Dench and Phillip Glenister.

Don't be surprised if Mr BBC can't afford any new shows next year, as he's spent a fortune on hiring Dame Judi 'M' Dench, Francesca Annis, Sir Dumbledore Gambon, Imelda Staunton and Gene Hunt off Life On Mars for this period piece. Tracing the lives of a Cheshire town's inhabitants in the 19th Century, it's another example of why no one beats Mr BBC when it comes to drama in big frocks.

Cranford did really well on Sunday with 8million viewer's tuning in. It was the most watched programme at 9pm on Sunday. Have you seen the promo for it?

WOW! Judi Dench, Michael Gambon AND Imelda Staunton??? Oh my GOD! I WANT TO SEE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!

Have you seen the promo for it?

I have actually seen the whole show! Just don't ask me how! Here are the screen cpas:

So have I, and I thought it was brilliant. My favourite scene was with the oranges

I thought it was brilliant, too. And the scene was great!! I'm looking forward to the second part.

'My sister does not care for the word suck' That line by Judi Dench was brilliant

Yes! How could I forget about that one!

Does anyone here know what happened to an ITV drama about a plastic surgeon from London who relocates to an island inhabited by only a few people to replace the local doctor? His wife and two kids go with him... I don't know if it was called something like Northern Shore...

That sounds really vaguely familiar but I feel like it was a couple of years ago so it's probably done and over with.

EastEnders has been fantastic lately. They're doing a really good job of tying lots of characters into various stories and I think the ball's already rolling for the Wickes departure.

anyone know of this awsome show called Hotel Babylon? im addicted.
