"Oh my dear Princess, you have been naive..."
To celebrate 40 years of EastEnders, Mark convenes Mark Harrison and Lee McMenemy from The Polis Box in the Queen Vic to discuss whether or not Doctor Who is "too soapy".

Under discussion: The Great EastEnders Slide Disaster of 2004, Phil Mitchell as Mickey Mouse, and a succession of William Hartnell lookalikes.
