To conclude my research project, I am writing a blog entry to document my final thoughts and feelings toward the industry through what I have researched over the course of the project.
My biggest shock throughout the project was at the sheer number of jobs there are on an EastEnders crew. I initially thought there would be a lot but not the quantity I ended up finding. With particular shock as to how many writers there are as well as the numerous figures they have for individual roles. However considering my shock it is understandable to see these figures when the show is having to produce four episodes a week without fail, filming each episode months before release so it can be properly edited and checked to make sure it fits perfectly.
As a fan of EastEnders myself I wasn't shocked at the popularity figures but I didn't realise quite how iconic it has been for the highest rated moments of all time. With extremely high viewing ratings. Particularly for the recent live episode where Bradley Branning died, that episode in particular brought in a large viewing total.
I personally feel, through the research I found on this show, that the show itself will last for a long time, as it has proved time and time again it has dedicated viewers, with even more viewers catching the show on modern platforms such as BBC iplayer. The show keeps adapting to the changing times, with the move to HD and the introduction of younger characters and the show's E20 spin of providing an even younger bridge for potential audience. The show is set for further success.
Thank You for Reading, Chip James
