EastEnders fans who will miss their favourite show on BBC1 during the Olympics – when it will be moved to BBC2 – fear not. They are in for a bumper helping of the soap when the London games packs up with no fewer than seven episodes in a single week. Trebles all round in the Queen Vic! Not only that – Sharon Watts, AKA actor Letitia Dean, is back, back, back, baby! The Olympics is likely to guarantee bumper ratings for BBC1, but it remains to be seen what will happen to EastEnders when it goes to BBC2. Seven episodes in seven days should help return its audience to pre-Games levels, however, and serve as a useful reminder for viewers who forgot it was on. The very thought. BBC1 controller Danny Cohen said: "Following the Olympics on BBC1, viewers can look forward to more TV gold on the channel." See what he's done there? In the puntastic stakes, he takes, er... the bronze.
