anyone who knows me knows i love the show “eastenders.” its a british soap opera that has been going on since 1985. i have been watching it here in the states on my public tv station since 1991. however, we being, oh, say, 2.5 to 3 years behind britain, i could say i have been watching it since at least 1989. yippee for me i s'pose.

anyway, we now have the option of digital cable. i don't know that i will have the time to watch additional tv, anyway; but they *do* have BBC America. the difficulty of that is that BBC America is actually up-to-date. i saw an episode once while at my mother-in-law's; and it was surreal to see frank butcher(one of the funniest, snarkiest characters on tv) married to peggy mitchell (one of the bitchiest characters known to humankind.)

so do i bother getting it and get incredibly confused? bad enough buddies like scally used to torture me with spoilers…
