We know these soap producers have to churn out five or six episodes a week, but it’s still worth double-checking those little details, because people WILL spot mistakes.
And loads of people spotted a blunder in EastEnders during an emotional scene featuring Shakil (Shaheen Jafargholi) and his mum Carmel (Bonnie Langford).
The pair were having a heart-to-heart about Shakil’s feelings for his ex-girlfriend Bex, when Carmel insinuated that she’d like to join her son in playing a videogame.
But no sooner had she suggested it than hawk-eyed critics were slating the show for an “annoying” continuity blunder.
With Shakil already holding a game controller, Carmel picked up the other one and said: “Show me how this works, then.”
And here is the crime: the two controllers were for completely different consoles.
And fans on Twitter wasted no time in aiming their vitriol at the soap.
One viewer slammed: “‘Show me how this works, then.’ Well, for starters, CARMEL, that’s a Nintendo Switch controller you’”
