Is the Emmerdale stunt based on London's Burning?

It seems Emmerdale's big stunt might be similar to the famous episodes of London's Burning where a load of gas canisters went up in flames.

I wonder if that's where they got the idea:

Interesting idea.

I am so excited for it though and at the same time gutted because I am on holiday next week. I can't watch where I am or come online as I don't want any spoilers. I haven't watched ED in years, but recently started watching again with the hype of this stunt and it has been fantastic recently.

It sounds like something will happen at the fair as well as the director said; "We also had to design and construct a fairground attraction from scratch. This is because the story demanded that there was some damage to the structure and we were not allowed to damage a real ride."

Makes you think it could be something like that, sd the Car Fie, and the Gas, is to trigger further stunts.

Not sure why Emmerdale really needs to go down such a drastic route.

Who got killed off in that stortyline for Londons Burning, cause when I cclicked on the link wasnt expecting that.

I thought it was the storty that killed Recall and Sicknote

It sounds like it is, I'm going for the gas bottles will blow up across the village, causing an explosion in the village hall, but as they they try to escape, the fairground rides will collapse or something. As they said it's bigger than there previous stunts.

It's not really a 'copy' though? Since the Emmerdale one will feature gas canisters & will be much better than the EastEnders one from 11 years ago.
