There's a bit I don't get in the BBC's rationale for not moving Eastenders into the Olympic Park post-2012. The refusal of Boris' offer is quite acceptable if the site is more expensive, and that's that.
The additional argument provided (Andrew Bowden puts it clearly here) - about aircraft noise disrupting production - is less helpful. If Walford is in the East End, then the sounds of jets from City Airport must make it more authentic. The only issue is outdoor night-time shots, meant to be after midnight, filmed in the daytime. Long daytime sequences with major retakes might require edits on sound as well as vision - but in multi-camera shooting of soaps, the idea is to keep editing to a minimum by getting clean takes. Isn't it ?
