  • CivvyStreet was a one off special that aired on 26 December 1988. It featured Characters from EastEnders played by young actors and also introduced new Characters. The setting was in wartime London 1942. on the same set as EastEnders. The episode was written and directed by the creators of EastEnders, Tony Holland and Julia Smith. It looked back at the early life of the residents of Albert Square and featured a young Lou Beale, Ethel Skinner and Reg Cox, who was a minor character found dead in the first ever episode of EastEnders in 1985. Holland was most upset to discover that Dot Cotton had been too young during the war to be featured as a useful character (she would have been six years old in 1942) and also complained that the major events of the war occurred in the wrong order for effective drama. This was the only appearance of Albert Beale and William, as both had died by the time EastEnders began in 1985.
