Getting Walford ready for HD - Behind the Scenes

Matt Conder gets an exclusive behind the scenes look at how Albert Square has been revamped for HD

There’s a brand spanking new Queen Vic, the laundrettes got bigger, and even Pat’s had a makeover. Everything from brick walls to beer mats has been given a facelift in time for the first ever Christmas Day episode of EastEnders to be broadcast in high definition.

The BBC has reportedly spent thousands of pounds upgrading the ageing sets of various TV shows for the brand new BBC One HD channel which launched earlier this month.

An EastEnders HD future ... is change really needed?

Matt Conder takes a light-hearted look into how any set revamp for HD could be incorporated into storylines.

High Definition Television has enabled us to see some of the world’s most beautiful locations in stunning picture quality; the Rocky Mountains, the Great Barrier Reef, the Grand Canyon, the Pyramids and perhaps soon even Beale’s Plaice.
