 | | A to Z of TV Borne out of the BBC's desire to rival the ratings supremacy of Coronation Street, Eastenders was conceived by producer Julia Smith and scriptwriter Tony Holland, who had previously worked together on Z Cars, Angels and District Nurse. |
 | | Eastenders has never shied away from controversy, covering over the years such touchy issues as prostitution, abortion, homelessness, Alzheimer's Disease, HIV infection, breast cancer, rape and murder. |
 | | Latterly Eastenders has continued to tug at the heartstrings and keep viewers on the edge of their seats with storylines such as euthanasia issues, adoption and the burning question of 'Who shot Phil Mitchell?' which was played out in the best tradition of the classic 'whodunnit'. |
