Iplayer has been releasing Classic EastEnders every week since 2020, beginning with episodes originally broadcast in April 2008 – those episodes of the show are currently at the end of 2011. However, for fans, you’re in for a treat as the entire 2012 is set to be released for you to binge, if that’s your thing, in just a few days.
The entire EastEnders collection for 2012 will be made available to stream on Tuesday 26th March. Subsequent monthly uploads will follow for the duration of the year so that by Christmas Day 2024, viewers will be able to stream over 2,000 episodes with the entire EastEnders collection from 2008 to the present day available.
Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer, says: “We’re thrilled that BBC iPlayer are expanding their collection of EastEnders episodes so that our viewers can enjoy a look back at some of the show’s most iconic storylines as we honour its rich history and its gripping characters. Viewers will be able to rewatch their favourite characters and relive their favourite moments, such as Who Killed Lucy Beale?, Peggy’s heart-breaking death, Stacey’s post-partum psychosis and Kathy’s jaw-dropping return from the dead.”
Dan McGolpin, Director of BBC iPlayer and Channels, said: “It’s fantastic to see EastEnders in such great form for 2024 and this is generating strong demand from viewers to enjoy earlier episodes on BBC iPlayer. I’m delighted that we’re able to add all of 2012 by the end of the month and we’ll have more than 2,000 episodes available by Christmas.”
EastEnders continues to air new episodes Monday – Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One
