Scene - 1.1 (Eastenders review)
Eastenders is located in Albert square and this scene in Eastenders begins with Peggy and Archie talking about the newspaper in the queen Victoria pub. In this scene Peggy is very worried about Ronnie and Roxy being in the newspaper because she is one of the people in the square that is trying to be elected for consoler. This was harder for Peggy and she looked very pail and stressed, I think this was effective because it looked proper real and she was really worried.
