    Crap

    A plastic "hardman" trying to gain interest in his pathetic art! Rubbish just absolute rubbish.

    Best episode yet!

    Don't listen to that other fool's rating, whoever it is sounds like a jealous idiot. This is a fantastic episode, and goes all the way back to the 14th century. Some of the the reveals will have your jaw hitting the ground. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

    Don't judge by the person being presented

    I didn't know Danny Dyer, I do not follow any soaps at all, but I watched this episode anyway and was fascinated with how this wide boy EastEnder was able to get his lineage tracked back so far and so so SO impressively. I don't care much about the person they follow, to me it is about the social history, but frankly I thought this was a marvellous episode precisely because of who he was and where he ultimately came from. I bet his wife did too.

    I am surprised it did not score a bit higher, I certainly think it is worth the 9 points I gave it. They are often only able to go back a few generations but this was a case of more is definitely more.

      [Danny goes to visit Lord Tollemache, a distant relative, at Helmingham Hall. They meet on the long tree-lined drive outside the hall]

      Lord Tollemache: Welcome to Helmingham.

      Danny Dyer: What a gaff you've got here!

      Lord Tollemache: I've put the drawbridge down for you.

      Danny Dyer: Can I drive over it?

      Lord Tollemache: Certainly can.

      Danny Dyer: [to himself, as he drives across the drawbridge over the moat] The geezer's got a drawbridge. F***ing hell! Right, let's go have a bunny with the lord.
