Thought ee tonight was the most harrowing episode I've seen. However why was it on before 9pm? The Xmas day episode was on late and that was a jolly sing song. This harrowing emotional episode on even earlier than normal. Children will have seen that.
Ee before the watershed???

Are you going to replace Rox as the squares resident hot babe Toni?
I hope so!

Every child of the 70's loved this - well I did as horror fan.

Won't someone think of the children.

Have you never seen 70's kids public information films?
They are great for a horror fan - death, destruction and mayhem of children!
No mercy at all!
Watch this when you can!
Imagine the complaints today!

Perhaps the BBC knew putting EastEnders on past 9pm doesn't do the show any favours.
It was a must see episode, so they're going to put it on at prime time.
There was nothing in it at all graphic, come on.
In Emmerdale at the same timeslot, I've seen episodes where a woman gets shot at point blank range with a shotgun. A barn has been on fire and several characters decide to punch and fight each other rather than get out. A House explodes and amidst the carnage, a woman bashes her husband's head in with some rubble, before they both plummet through the floor.
Now that's graphic stuff.
Tonight's EastEnders was implied, but still quite harrowing.
I doubt kids would be too traumatised by it.

One way to get through the soaps Kirk!
Hollyoaks show worse than this at 7pm. Never waited till after 9 for any deaths, heck they even have it repeated at 6.30.
They don't give a crud about wimp's.

Nowt more to add.
I didn't say it was graphic but harrowing. There is a difference. Technically no it wasn't graphic and yes I have seen 'worse' on other soaps but emotionally this was much more 'challenging' and harder for younger viewers to watch. Think it should have been on 8 -9pm instead to allow young children to be in bed.

They are all so utterly merciless - they were meant to frighten kids and let's face it they all did a bloody good job.
Today the makers would be sued by parents for causing acute mental distress to their little darlings or some such cobblers!
But things were different when I was five or six and watching those!
If people don't want kids to watch then either record it and watch it later or watch in another room to your children. It's not like no one knew what was going to happen. As I was spending time with my young child rather than making him watch EE or dumping him in his playroom while I watched it I Sky plussed it for later - there are loads of ways to watch whenever you like these days. I've never made my little one sit through EE as there's been a lot worse than that - Fatboy being squished, Lucy's murder, death, destruction and every time Kim opens her mouth 😉. Then again I too am a child of the 70s and we had to watch things like this - https://youtu.be/6QzrG9h_Y4Y

Such days of innocent fun!

It worked though. We didn't dare go near water, train tracks, pylons, strangers etc. Once my teacher stopped and offered me a lift to school when I was 5 so my mum didn't have to take me on the bus. I made an absolute stink crying and wailing because you didn't go with strangers and never got in their car. My best friend's mum had a boyfriend who offered me sweets and I flat out refused - all of the other kids had some but you weren't meant to take sweets from strange men. Actually thinking about it I was scared of everything
. It didn't help that someone at school did climb a pylon and got electrocuted and when his parents had the open casket at home people said his head had exploded so we all really believed these "information" films that if you did something wrong you'd die a horrible death. I'd never in a million years let my kids watch those films.

Surely it's up to parents to take responsibility for what their young children watch and not the BBC. Tonight's episode was very heavily publicised so parents could have recorded it and watched it later if they were bothered about their kids watching it.
