Can you not stream Eastbenders on any of the myriad of streaming sites ?

My Best Femmes (& I) do our best Patsy, Edie & Bubbles impressions, upon occasion, and its really not made for network television!

There probably is some site I can stream 'Eastenders' from, I've been too lazy to find it. I have so many sources for "entertainment" - netflix, hulu, comcast on demand - that I can't keep up.

I think folks just want to spend time on something they can relate to, same explanation i gave my mother when she learned there was a gay TV channel. In here opinion isn't there enough gay on other TV shows.

As far as BBC i love BBC have been hooked for years including Being Human. Got my last girlfriend hooked on the likes of Who and Coupling. However the US has been raiding British shows for generations, after all I had no inkling about BBC at 5 years old, and never would have had my first crush on Jack Ritter, we took Threes company from the Brits too.

come and knock on my door, I've been waiting for you....
