Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Tune in to the EastEnders live episode on Friday 19 February on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One at 8.00pm and celebrate 25 years of EastEnders.

• An average episode of EastEnders has four camera operators, the live episode will have 36 camera operators
• There are 13 make-up artists, 12 dresses and 16 props people for the live episode
• 7,500 metres of cable from two outside broadcast trucks will link all the technical equipment together
• 51 members of cast will be taking part in the live episode
• Three golf buggies will be whizzing cast from one set to another. The shortest length of time an actor has to get from one set to another is 2 minutes 11 seconds
• There has been one read through, two full dress rehearsals, three full days of rehearsals and a technical rehearsal in the lead up to the big day
• There are 10 suspects but none of the cast know "whodunnit", the actor/actress will find out they are the killer 30 minutes before the episode goes live
• Executive Producer Diederick Santer came up with the "whodunnit" idea a year ago; it has taken nine months of planning to get the episode live on air
• There will be more than 400 shots in the live episode
• Switch over to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three after the live show to watch cast interviews, behind-the-scenes footage plus the moment the actor/actress is told they're the killer
