The writing is on the Walford at Borehamwood Museum as it hosts an exhibition celebrating all things good and great about EastEnders.

The classic BBC series, which has been on screens for exactly 30 years, is filmed at the BBC Studios, in Elstree Way.

To mark the milestone, Borehamwood Museum, at 96 Shenley Road, just a stone’s throw away from the studios, created a display for people to reminisce about their favourite scenes.

Heritage officer Ruth Stratton said: “I’m so excited about this. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the BBC to come out into the community and to give people a feel of that’s going on behind those gates.

“The EastEnders community stretches nationally. If you look out of the window from the museum you can see the EastEnders bridge, so it’s a natural partnership for us to work together.”

Earlier this year, the show marked its 30th anniversary with a live show where they revealed Bobby killed Lucy Beale.

Ms Stratton added: “There are items in this collection that fans will recognise from the live show – as well as the iconic murder weapons from across the years.”

The Mayor of Hertsmere, Cllr Martin Worster, also attended.

Dominic Treadwell-Collins, the executive producer of EastEnders, who grew up in Radlett, said: “I used to come to Elstree and put my head through the gates when I was ten, and think, one day I’ll work there.

“Around eight years ago there were talks about moving it to Pinewood, but they want to stay here, which is fantastic. It would be such a shame to lose it.

“It’s lovely Borehamwood and EastEnders can work together.”

He also thanked EastEnders’s archivist, Matthew Campbell, as well as Bob Redman of the Elstree Screen Heritage.

Museum manager David Armitage said: “Working with the BBC was a challenge for us because usually this little group of volunteers makes decisions ourselves.

“There’s a high standard required from the BBC, but we took on the challenge and worked with them continuously. We worked tremendously hard.”

The exhibition runs until after Christmas and items will change throughout. For more information call the museum on 01442 454888.
