I was just watching Eastenders tonight and I noticed a familiar name at the ending credits. 'Written by Shaun Duggan.' Shaun, as some of you may know, featured in the 1987 South Bank Show special as a young teen Smiths fan. He then went on to write a play called William, based on the song 'William It Was Really Nothing' and was interviewed by Morrissey about the play in 1987 on Channel Four's The Tube. He then went on to write for Brookside.

Writing for Eastenders hasn't been something to write home about though. The scriptwriters have been getting a critical battering and viewers, bored with the cold plots and unlikeable characters, have dwindled.

    Actually that should be "something to WRITE home about"

    Perhaps it was an innocent typo

      You are indeed correct. Whoops my mistake, not David's. Have a horrible habit of writing 'teh' instead of 'the' on occasion too plus 'fed' instead of 'read'. Bonkers I know! Perhaps if I stopped watching Eastenders things may improve.

        As someone who saw 'William' back in Liverpool at The Bluecoat Chambers, mainly on the off chance Morrissey may have turned up, the play wasn't much better than the current Eastenders garbage. It was more Ron Yeats than anything else

        That will be why there was a garage called "Dagenham Dave's" then!
