It’s been the TV event of the year so far, but apparently not without flaws.
The EastEnders bus crash (including the subsequent revelation that Max Branning is out for revenge) was the source of much conversation this week.
However, there was one person who noticed a problem with the storyline, none other than Danniella Westbrook, a former actress on the soap.
Taking to Twitter, Danniella said there hasn’t been a bus in Albert Square in twenty years (by her reckoning) and pointed out that you can just about get a car down Bridge Street, thanks to the “stalls and bridge”, never mind a bigger vehicle.
Catching up on @bbceastenders superb acting but who the hell decided to write a bus in2it! Over 20 years not 1 bus! U can nearly fit a car

A fair point, from someone who’d know a thing or two about the show. Still, it’s been one hell of a rollercoaster, even if it meant ignoring the practicalities of bus routing.
