EastEnders: Slaters in Detention

[jboothmillard · 8/10 · 28 June 2005]

This straight to video special episode (or something) is the well known EastEnders girls put in a cell for questioning. It is basically an excuse for flashbacks of their best moments in one of Britain's favourite soaps. Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) remembers her tart-like moments, her loves, admitting motherhood to Zoe (the fit Michelle Ryan) and lots more. Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth) remembers marrying Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), being terrorised by Trevor Morgan (Alex Ferns) and lots more. And we also see all the girls going through their lives in the Albert Square. Hitting Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson), flirting with Jim Branning (John Bardon) and many other dramatic or amusing stories. Very good!

Fantastic Stuff

[walfordqueen · 7 November 2005]

Tony Jordan one of the best writers we have working on television today wrote a wonderful and humorous script for what is easily one of the best families to have ever graced EastEnders. With nostalgic lookbacks on some of the Slaters early stuff and a bit more insight into what they are like as a family this is a must have for any fan of the Slaters. Nan Mo and granddaughters Lynne, Kat, Little Mo and Zoe are all banged up after Kat assaulted a policeman, they are then unrealistically locked up in the same cell. You can forgive this little flaw though because it's then the fun starts as they act out each scene in between video clips of their early stuff. The script is peppered with witty oneliners which helps to carry it and stop it from becoming boring.
