The soap was first broadcast on BBC One in 1985 and has won five BAFTA Awards. It has also recently picked up three prizes at the TV Quick and TV Choice awards, including best soap.

EastEnders Executive Producer, Diederick Santer says: “It’s too early to discuss the exact storyline at this point, but viewers are assured that this live episode will bring them all the high drama and excitement they expect from EastEnders and then some."

"The episode will feature – amongst other things – the resolution to a big storyline resolution to a big storyline which will keep the audience (as well as the cast and crew) guessing until the very last moment. Every time I think about this episode I get excited as well as a little nervous, but nonetheless we are all thrilled to be celebrating our 25 years on screen with a live episode. It's a big test for every member of the production here, and hopefully a big treat for the audience."

Coronation Street have aired an hour-long live show in 2000 to celebrate 40 years on the air.

The 30-minute episode will transmit from BBC Elstree, the home of EastEnders, at 8.00pm on Friday 19th February 2010 on BBC One.
