By the law of averages, not everything that happens within the confines of Albert Square has to be morbidly depressing. It might not seem that way to the average EastEnders viewer, but some of the characters have to experience fleeting moments of levity every now and then. So why not make a spin-off about those moments?

Has it really been 25 years of "'Ere, wots goin on?" and "Leave it owwwt!"
