Doof doof, doof-doof-doof-doof

I'm not a regular East Enders audience member but I follow enough to enjoy the odd episode when I'm round at my sister's and last night's was particularly enjoyable.

The storyline which made it so was about the aftermath of Bobby's death. I liked how they showed his mother's grief in a visual way -throwing away his possessions steely faced but breaking down over his hoody- and the ending was very strong. It wasn't implausibly huge or bathetically small, it was human, domestic and sad. The "doof doof"s didn't feel like a "badum ching", they felt like they deserved to be there.

An excellent piece of writing!
