25 Years of Eastenders – but Who Is the Best Loved Character? Submitted By: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Wednesday, 17 February 2010
25 years of Eastenders – but who is the best loved character? Submitted by: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Wednesday, 17 February 2010 More than 2,300 members of the public were asked to vote for the Eastenders character they’d most like to share a takeaway with – with Alfie Moon, played by actor Shane Ritchie, topping the list of most loved characters. Janine Butcher is the most hated character from the last 25 years, with three quarters of the public admitting they disliked her. Friday marks the 25th anniversary of popular British soap Eastenders, with a half hour live special episode. To commemorate the occasion, the UK’s leading takeaway website www.Just-Eat.co.uk (http://www.just-eat.co.uk) asked 2,310 members of the public to list the character they’d most like to ‘have a takeaway with’, in the style of the age old ‘who would you invite to a dinner party’ question. When asked the multi-answer question, “Which Eastenders characters from the last 25 years would you most like to share a takeaway meal with?’, Shane Richie’s Alfie Moon, who first appeared in 2002 topped the poll with 42% of votes. The study was entirely hypothetical, and as such included characters which may no longer be alive. Wellard, primarily owned by Robbie Jackson and Gus Smith was introduced to the show in 1994, and ranked as the 5th most popular character to share a takeaway with. 1.Alfie Moon – 42% 2.Kat Slater – 36% 3.Nigel Bates – 34% 4.Grant Mitchell – 33% 5.Wellard the Dog – 30% 6.Peggy Mitchell – 29% 7.Arthur Fowler – 26% 8.Dot Cotton – 25% 9.Ethyl Skinner – 22% 10.Pat Butcher – 20% The poll also asked respondents to list the characters they loved to hate, with Janine Butcher, who has been portrayed by Rebecca Michael, Alexia Demetriou and most recently Charlie Brooks topping the list of the soaps most hated, with nearly three quarters of the public saying listing her as their least favourite character.

Project Report: Year 1 2012–2013
PROJECT REPORT: YEAR 1 2012–2013 ‘It was an amazing moment, seeing your artwork among all those other brilliant artworks and then seeing your name written on the wall. I felt like I’d become a professional artist… our work was shown in such a beautiful way. Now I’m able to see how people are affected by the history of Tower Hamlets… a beautiful, vibrant place’ Project participant Creative Connections is generously supported by the Palley Family Executive summary Year 1: Creative Connections in Tower Hamlets In this first year ofCreative Connections the National Portrait Gallery and its Tower Hamlets partners; St Paul’s Way Trust School and the Arbour explored the themes of people, place and portraiture through a rich programme of workshops designed to support young people’s development. Collaboration was a central tenet in all that was achieved with the partners, young people and stakeholders participating in what the project artist referred to as a conversion that took place between; the Gallery, the school, the young people and people ‘sitters’ from the Collection, connected to Tower Hamlets. The majority of the young people participating in the project were from audiences underrepresented at the Gallery. Of the 56, 14-16 year olds, the majority were Bangladeshi (75%) and over 50% were in receipt of free school meals, these statistics are indicative of the social demographics of Tower Hamlets. The practice of socially engaged artist, Lucy Steggals, enabled the young people from St Paul’s Way Trust School to work individually (in making their responses to the sitters) and then collectively, combining their ideas together to create a series of abstract and playful new artworks.
