With EastEnders off the air at the moment, we've decided to take a moment to look back on the history of E20 with special guests, classic episode commentary and more! This week, we speak to one of the original set designers of Albert Square, Gina Parr, and discuss what life was like back in 1984 behind the scenes. Plus, Gina tells us about her work on Shooting Stars and her move back into the art world.
