Located in Albert Square in London's East End in the fictional Walford area, the program follows the stories of locals and their families as they go about their daily lives. Initially there were two 30-minute episodes a week, later increasing to three, but since 2001, episodes have been broadcast on every weekday except Wednesday (outside of special occasions). A three-month suspension of production in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, led to the broadcast of the show being reduced to two 30-minute episodes per week, and eventually, the show takes place on a broadcast break. Restrictions on filming led to the program's return to broadcasting, and on September 7, 2020, four 20-minute episodes per week resumed. Within eight months of the show's initial launch, it reached number one in the BARB television rankings and consistently remained among the best rated series in the UK. In 2013, the average audience share of the episode was about 30 percent. Today, EastEnders remains an important programme in terms of success and audience share for the BBC. Also in the history of British television drama, addressing many issues that are considered controversial or taboo in British culture, and the portrayal of social life previously unseen on British mainstream television. As of September 2019, EastEnders has won ten BAFTA and Inside Soap Awards for best soap for 14 consecutive years (from 1997 to 2012), as well as twelve national television awards for best popular serial drama and 11 awards for best British soap at the British Soap Awards. He also won 13 TV Fast and TV Choice Awards for Best Soap, Six TRIC Awards for Soap of the Year, four Royal Television Society Awards for Best Continuing Drama and was inducted into the Pink d'Or Hall of Fame. The concept of history and preparation for broadcast in March 1983, two years before the first episode of EastEnders, the show was a vague idea in the minds of a handful of BBC executives who decided that BBC1 needed a popular biweekly drama series that would attract the kind of mass audience that ITV was getting with Coronation Street. The first people david Reed, then the head of the series and TV series, turned to were Julia Smith and Tony Holland, a well- ed producer/script editor who first worked together on K-Cars. The sketches presented by Reed were vague: two episodes a week, 52 weeks a year. After the concept was put on them on March 14, 1983, Smith and Holland then went about putting their ideas on paper; they decided that it would be installed in London's East End. Granada Television gave Smith unlimited access to the Coronation Street production for a month so she could get an idea of how the ongoing drama was produced. At first there was concern that the public would not accept the new soap in the south of England, although research commissioned by leading BBC figures showed that southerners would take northern soap, northerners would take the southern soap, and those from the Midlands, as Julia Smith herself pointed out, did not mind where it was installed while it was elsewhere. This was the beginning of a close and ongoing link between EastEnders and audience research, which, while commonplace today, was something of a revolution in practice. The show's creators were both Londoners, but when they explored the Victorian squares, they found huge changes in areas they thought they knew well. However, venturing further into London's East End, they found exactly what they were looking for: the real spirit of East End-inside-looking quality, distrust of strangers and power figures, a sense of territory and community that the creators summed up as Hurt one of us and you hurt us all. In developing EastEnders, Smith and Holland looked at influential models such as Coronation Street, but they found that rather outdated and nostalgic view of working class life. Only after EastEnders began, and featured characters Tony Carpenter and Calvin Carpenter, did Coronation Street begin to feature black characters, for example. They concluded that Coronation Street had aged with its audience and that EastEnders would have to attract a younger, more socially-extensive audience, ensuring that it had the longevity to keep it for years afterwards. They also looked at Brookside but found that there were no central meeting points for the characters, making it difficult for writers to intertwine different storylines, so EastEnders was set in Albert Square. The previous British soap, installed in the East End market, was ATV's Market in Honey Lane between 1967 and 1969. However, this show, which ended from one show a week to two in three separate series (the last series is shown at different time intervals across the ITV network) was very different in style and approach from EastEnders. The British Film Institute described Market In Honey Lane as saying: It was not a program that was not innovative in any revolutionary ideas in technology and production, but simply offered itself to the casual viewer as a slightly pleasant thing to do. EastEnders, while also showing the East End street market, will be very different in its approach and impact. The target launch date was originally January 1985. Smith and Holland had eleven months to write, quit and take it all off. However, in February 1984 they did not even have a name or a place to film. Both Smith and Holland were unhappy with the launch date in January 1985, in favour of November or even September 1984, when the seasonal audience would have been higher, but the BBC remained solid, and Smith and Holland had to admit that, with the huge task of getting Elstree Studios operating, January was the most realistic date. However, the decision was later changed to February. The project had a number of working titles: Square Dance, Round the Square, Round the Houses, London Pride and East 8. It was the last one that stuck (E8 is a postcode for Hackney) in the first months of the creative process. However, the show was renamed after many casting agents mistakenly thought the show would be called Estate, and a fictional E20 postcode was created instead of using E8. Julia Smith came up with the name Eastenders after she and Holland called theatre agents for months and asked, Do you have the real East Enders in your books? Originally created characters and casting Dot Cotton, Ethel Skinner and Lou Beale were the original Walford. After they decided to film the filming The BBC Elstree Centre in Hertfordshire, Smith and Holland have set about creating the 23 characters needed in just 14 days. They vacationed in Playa de los Pocillos, Lanzarote, and began to create characters. Holland created the family of Beale and Fowler, relying on their own background. His mother, Ethel Holland, was one of four sisters raised in Walthamstow. Her older sister, Lou, married a man named Albert Beale and had two children named Peter and Pauline. These family members were the basis for Lou Beale, Pete Beale and Pauline Fowler. Holland also created Pauline's unemployed husband Arthur Fowler, their children Mark Fowler and Michelle Fowler, Pete's wife Katie Beale and their son Ian Beale. Smith used her personal memories of the East End residents she met while exploring Victorian squares. Ethel Skinner was based on an old woman she met in a pub with inappropriate false teeth, and facing a rival with a neon sign, holding a Yorkshire terrier in one hand and a pint of Guinness in the other. Among the characters created were the Jewish physician Harold Legg, the Anglo-Cypriot family Osman, Ali Osman, Sue Osman and the child Hassan Osman, the black father and son, Tony Carpenter and Calvin Carpenter, the single mother Mary Smith and the Bangladeshi couple Said Jeffrey and Naima Jeffrey. Jack, Pearl and Tracy Watts were created to bring flash, trash and melodrama to the square (later they were renamed Den, Angie and Sharon Watts).
