Duff, duff, duff ...

As one of the most hard hitting storylines EastEnders has ever covered comes to its climax I take a look back at the other more recent hard hitting subjects and compare them with the current child abuse storyline.

EastEnders stabbing escapes censure

A controversial EastEnders episode that featured a violent stabbing was acceptable for a pre-watershed audience, Ofcom has ruled.

The regulator has rejected 45 complaints that an episode of the BBC1 soap broadcast on 28 August was too violent.

The episode featured the death of ex-football hooligan Jase Dyer, who was stabbed in the chest by his former gang leader Terry Bates.

The BBC itself received 134 complaints from viewers but defended the scenes on the grounds that the violence was "implied rather than explicit".

BBC inundated with more complaints

The BBC has received more than 100 complaints after EastEnders showed a Muslim breaking their Ramadan fast by eating a snack on the soap opera.

It is believed that a large number of Muslims were angered by the recent storyline involving character Masood Ahmed claiming it insulted their religion.

The married Asian postman, played by Nitin Ganatra, was spotted by wheel-chair bound character Ian Beale having a bite to eat during the holy month.

Viewer 'physically sick' at EastEnders violence

The BBC has defended violent scenes in last night's edition of EastEnders following complaints from viewers.

Last night's episode of the BBC1 soap, repeated on BBC3 at 10pm, saw the death of character Jase Dyer, played by Stephen Lord, with one viewer complaining that his wife was "physically sick" while his 13-year-old son was reduced to tears.
