EastEnders fans were finally treated to a full scale view of the new Albert Square on the soap on Monday evening as the episode opened with a slick aerial shot.
The extensive revamp was unveiled with a sweeping crane shot overlooking the streets of Walford, with Lily Allen’s hit LDN playing, before the shot closed in on Sharon Watts’ flat.
The debut of the new £86.7 million set was also toasted with a few on-air jokes, as Sharon asked Martin Fowler if he liked her new coat.
