Eastenders LIVE: Billy's chance to shine...

When you think of the London 2012 Olympics you imagine happiness, hope and community spirit. Similarly, when you think of Eastenders… Oh, wait…

In fact, when I think of the fictional London borough of Walford, I mostly think of misery, dead-end jobs and constant bitching. So clearly it makes sense for the Olympic torch to head to Walford for a live appearance on the British soap, seeing as how the two concepts have so much in common (sense the sarcasm).And who better to carry the Olympic flame through Albert Square than Walford’s very own local Hero- the brave, noble, sporty and community-minded… Billy Mitchell Ladies and Gentlemen (there’s that sarcasm again)!

It’s obvious that the torch committee aren’t the biggest fans of the East London Soap. If they were, surely they wouldn’t have picked the square’s most scrawny, clumsy and accident prone resident. What am I thinking? Of course they would. Because no one can quite deliver the same level of anxiousness, irritation and utter despair to an audience as the wonderful Perry Fenwick.
