Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

Did anyone witness that ridiculous scene in EastEnders last night?

The character, Sylvie who supposedly suffers from Altzheimers did a turn in the local pub, the Queen Vic. It was 'Chinese' night with Chinese food being sold and Sylvie was the entertainment.

Dressed as a geisha, she 'offended' everyone in the pub by singing the Ying Tong song. Everyone was so upset that the whole pub cleared out in about ten seconds. Everyone was disgusted and the pub was left with no customers.

Coming from the East End myself and not far from the fictional Walford, I know that at least half of the customers would have found this hilarious, but not the case in BBC land.

Still, I suppose we should be grateful that the BBC are turning their attention to an alternative minority group.

Agreed.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

I was bemused by that in EE, no idea why they all took that attitude. Weird!
The song is funny, not offensive.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

Sorry Longdongle, but East Enders is one programme I can't stick. Most miserable lot on tv they are.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

I don't have a TV.

So do not watch any Soaps.

Reading what has been written about this boggles the mind.

BBC do have to get their heads out of their arses and stop trying to stir up tension with the Chinse communtry.

Blood disgusting.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

I think it's rubbish too Mups but I like to watch so that I can moan about it.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

Tell you what galty, I never thought I would say this because I am a telly addict but I think you might have the right idea not having a tv. Maybe just to play DVDS.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

With you on that Mups.
I was there in the begining with Den and Angie .
But all that soon faded when they started celebrating every Christmas with a death of some kind.
Can't stand the show these days just like Corrie and Emmerdale.
They should have kept the old actors in it and just sat their dead bodies about the square and moved them about a little bit I am sure that they still would out act the present lot..

LD my opinion of you as dropped somewhat since you owned up to watch that tripe.

Re: Ying tong iddle I po/EastEnders

I only watch it to criticize. Honest.
