If you possibly can, watch EastEnders tonight on BBC1 at 7:30pm.
If you can't make it, watch it on the BBC iPlayer.
Why?
Well, for starters it's written by Tony Jordan, and he's a bloody good writer.
For mains, because it's one of the ballsiest pieces of drama you're likely to see.
Because what we have here, essentially, is a one-woman show. A monologue by Dot Cotton, played by June Brown.
Think about that for a moment. One of the most popular dramas in the UK is going to spend half an hour with just one actor, talking.
That's not something you're likely to see anywhere else anytime soon.
