I thought they would wait to catch up closer to the current run. 3 1/2 years is still quite a while back, they were only 2 years behind last time they went back.

I'dve thought it would take longer as they're nearing te point where it went 4 times a week- when they do that UK Gold would onlybe catching up by 3 months per year, as opposed to the 8 they are currently.

It is the year 2001 where 20 million poeple watched who shot phil, and the slaters trouble and Sharons great comeback etc etc etc.......It was a great year........But 2002 is when the rot began, it is the year LB joined the show!

5 years is about as close to recent tmes as I wanna see, any nearer and it should be called UK Only Just recently Shown. ![]() Same goes for other series, I''ve never been a fan of the '2 wrongs make a right' argument anyway. |

I find the episodes on UKTV Gold at the moment are quite dull and too recent. Will really be excited to have the chance to watch it from the start. I was only a few months old when it started after all.........

I want to see the whole of 2001 as it was a great year for EE. It close to when EE when to four episode a week so the gap will get bigger.
The Dan kidnapped Mel happen in August 2001 (the week when it start four episode a week) so in about 3/4 months it will be on UK Gold. |

I would like to see it from the beginning- it would be interesting to see what 'the great Den Watts' was like. I never saw him then, but my Mum keeps telling me he used to be a lot better then!

![]() Too young to remember the Den Watts era?? God I'm getting old. ![]() The episodes of Corrie they are showing on Plus are old enough to be considered Gold. About 10yrs old I think. I think shows should only be considered Gold if they have a feeling of being from a different era. Eg the 'Den and Angie era' . |

Well THIS SUCKS. I wanted to watch up until March 2002 (when Steve Owen left) before I switched off. Now I'll have to wait... (does the maths...but can't work it out)...God knows how many years before it gets that far again. I am really mad now. Grrr.

As far as i was aware, due to their agreement with the BBC, UKTV Network are not allowed to show Eastenders from the start - so prehaps a bit more research is needed to confirm this.
