    Friday October 3, 2014 EASTENDERS 30th ANNIVERSARY IS GOING LIVE In February 2015, EastEnders will be celebrating its 30th anniversary and to mark the special occasion it will be pushing the boundaries by going live. Not only will there be a 30 minute live episode but there will also be a series of live elements in all the episodes that week. This special week, which will broadcast on UKTV in Australia approximately two weeks after transmission in the UK, will give a nod to the past and welcome the future. With storylines culminating, big momentous events happening, the EastEnders 30th anniversary will take its place in television history. Speaking of the plans for the anniversary, Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Executive Producer said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for EastEnders to create a massive national event and one that will enable us to celebrate 30 years of EastEnders in spectacular style. With live elements to each episode as well as a half hour live episode, it allows us to have a huge amount of surprises for the audience. It is ambitious and exciting and something I know everyone at EastEnders will excel at as they always do.” Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One adds: "We will bring the nation together to celebrate 30 years of EastEnders by going live across the anniversary week.

  • Inside out Soap Operas
    Inside Out Soap operas WORKSHEET A It happens over and over again in the fictional district of Walford in east London. One of the residents of Albert Square says something dramatic or discovers something unexpected, there is a brief moment of silence, then a drumbeat, then a familiar theme tune – the final moments of any episode of Eastenders , one of Britain’s most popular TV soap operas, are always like that. First broadcast in 1985, Eastenders is still going strong; there are four half-hour episodes every week and they all regularly attract around eight million viewers (out of a total British population of sixty million). On Christmas Day in 1986, when the storyline was particularly exciting, a record thirty million people tuned in. However, Eastenders is neither the longest-running nor the most popular British soap; both those honours go to Coronation Street , which follows the lives of fictional characters in the northern English city of Manchester. It has been on air since 1960 and its recent audiences have been very slightly higher than those for Eastenders . What both shows have in common is that that they are set in working-class areas and feature social and economic problems in many of their storylines – they tend to be gritty rather than glamorous. The soap opera was born in the United States in the 1930s with the first radio broadcasts of fictional dramas that were set in one place and consisted of a series of episodes that each featured the same characters. The word ‘soap’ comes from the fact that most of the advertising slots in these radio dramas were bought by companies selling soap and other domestic products, the reason being that the shows went out in the daytime and many of the listeners were housewives.

  • Radio in Afghanistan: Socially Useful Communications in Wartime Gordon Adam
    Chapter 22 Radio in Afghanistan: socially useful communications in wartime Gordon Adam This case study examines the experience of radio broadcasting aimed at bring- | 349 ing about developmental change in Afghanistan over the past twenty-five years. One particular project is examined –the radio soap opera New Home New Life which has been broadcasting since 1994. Alongside other examples of radio, it is analysed in terms of methodology and the constraints involved in broadcasting to a conflict area. It examines New Home New Life’s impact and pulls together some lessons learned for future media interventions of this kind. Preamble: the social communication process In 1930, the German writer Bertolt Brecht suggested that: radio could be the most wonderful public communication system imagina- ble, a gigantic system of channels –could be, that is, if it were capable not only of transmitting but of receiving, of making listeners hear but also speak, not of isolating them but connecting them (Lewis and Booth, 1989). What Brecht did not understand –because radio at that time was a top-down medium– was how in later decades technological advances have worked with pro- gramme innovation to transform radio into an interactive medium which can con- nect people and enable communication between governments and populations and vice versa. The phone-in programme, for example, and the increasing use of text messaging, have both allowed listeners to have their say. This inclusiveness has created a degree of “ownership” by listeners over programmes. In many countries, Media and Glocal Change 350 | this helps programme producers broadcast on issues relevant to the audience, who then listen with greater interest and loyalty.
