Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-2-2025 — EastEnders

19th February, 2025: EastEnders.

Right … it’s now, officially, Wednesday … !

Which means … ?

Well, it means that — if you]re a fan of TV show, EastEnders — you’re probably going to be marking the show’s anniversary, by watching tonight’s episode.

Not something I’m going to be doing: I’m not one for the soaps.

But … ?

I can remember that first episode.

And the stinks the show’s caused, over the years.

With story lines going from divorce, to affairs, to faked cancer scare, to utility fraud, to domestic abuse, to lord knows what else … !

The show — in the phrase the actors use to describe an episode’s cliff hangers — has the doof doof* … !

~≈🥁≈~

At any rate, with all that said … ?

My nephew, Jude, was over last night: concerned that he couldn’t stream from his Playstation, to YouTube.

I think we have the problem solved: but won’t know for until he let’s me know.

At any rate … ?

Here’s his latest video … 

Have fun with that!

From BBC.com’s page about the episode.

A tune …

And the opening scene …
