I know, I know, it’s only been two days, but in television anything can happen overnight!

First off, Tracey has been given her own spin-off! Our most loyal barmaid has been shrouded in mystery for nearly 40 years, but now we get to lift the lid on the enigma that is Tracey the Barmaid… Hey, maybe that is her surname!

You can catch all five episodes of the spin-off series, as part of the BBC’s Training Program, in the following links: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4 and Episode 5!

Also there’s this lovely shot of Gillian Taylforth, aka Kathy Beale with visiting former co-star Ross Kemp (formerly Grant Mitchell), who is busy filming a documentary for the 40th Anniversary! Or could he possibly be persuaded to return on screen?

I’m still revamping of The Year Was… pages continues. Now completed as far as 2016.

And, again, because of Christmas, spoilers are being released slightly early. So be warned… Also, there is no episode on the 17th December. An episode airs on Friday 20th December instead!

Until next time… Regards,

The Curator.
