It was good, but to many errors, would Kim not get done for having bars over the back doors of a B&B? Also the fire exits upstairs would not open, and why did the fire alarm not go off before hand?

Somebody needs to tell EastEnders that the Metropolitan Police don't use Sepura Airwave terminals, they use Motorola MTH800s.

Further to this, the DI who arrested Phil's cuffing technique wasn't as per what gets taught in OPST, given that one of the 'extra' purposes to Speedcuffs is to break wrists (not just restrain) you'd think the officer would take more care with them! Also his application of the cuffs left a lot to be desired, you don't open them first, you apply them to the wrist (dead on the join between hand and arm, for one of the pressure points) and push them round until they close, tightening with your free hand, then double lock that one cuff, you apply the second cuff.

Marks out of 10, 0.

Yes. David Wickes is returning for Pat's exit.

You're either a policeman or an ASBO child. Laughing

what is Yousef's back story with Zanab, did he set fire to somebody or something

bit confused how the fire spread between the two buildings on the inside but not the outside


When Zainab lived in Pakistan she had an affair with Masood whilst married to Yusef. When Yusef's family found out about the affair they tried to kill Zainab by setting her on fire. I almost feel embarrassed to know this...


thanks for that, dont follow eastenders that much

when I said about only one side of the B&B being on fire I mean that the other side of the building has no broken windows or smoke damage outside when it's meant to be two buildings knocked together

Just in a relationship with one, as it goes! But yes, there are reasons why the police are trained in their application annually... because bad cuffing costs lives, limbs and all points in between and it grinds my (as well as half the UK Police Service's) goat when they see cuffs being applied incorrectly on screen!

Yes they can be very painful, I guess that's the whole point of them. When I was cuffed this year they friggin hurt!

I wonder if any firefighters were put out by the portrayal (well, he got to say one word) of the fireman who let the gobby one back into the B&B after she wagged her tongue at him. I'd hope that in the real world there's a slightly less woolly stance taken on letting people back into unsafe buildings - though given it was her, I'd have to told her to go in and jump on the upstairs floorboards to test them...

Well actually, she said; ''Either you go back in there for it or I do, and if I get one spec of soot on these shoes you will be taking me down to Oxford Street in that big fancy van of yours and you will be footing the bill!'', or something along those lines, so he went back in for the photograph.

The fireman didn't let her go on, she begged him for HIM to go in and get it, he comes out with the shoes and she screams in delight.
