I was watching EastEnders the other night and I think I finally can understand a full episode of the cockney dialect.
Any other EastEnders watchers?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Haven't watched EastEnders, but it sounds like the dialect is similar to "Only Fools and Horses." I had to rewind like mad on that series! It's not great - silly sitcom, but a friend brought it by for me to have a look - it's, well, "Meh."
Is EastEnders any good?
I like BBC!

Posted: 4/6/06 at 4:00pmI used to watch EastEnders YEARS ago - such fun. During that time, a premium for donating to the PBS channel that showed it was an EastEnders dictionary. I don't think I have it anymore, but it was pretty funny.

EastEnders is your typical soap opera. There are about 30 different characters and each week the story revolves a different group of characters. Of course over the years, they've all intermarried and had various relationships. And of course, they all hang out at the local pub The Queen Vic.
I just like the way they talk, it's very cockney.
