EastEnders has resembled a Quentin Tarantino movie lately, with heists and shootings and all sorts of nasty stuff going on in Albert Square.
But just for a moment in last night’s episode, the BBC soap slipped into Carry On film territory.
New baddies Aidan and Ciara Maguire were discussing business in Billy Mitchell’s funeral parlour when Ciara dropped a sexual innuendo that Sid James would’ve been proud of.
And seeing as the comment was made before the watershed, it left some viewers choking on their dinner.
From their dialogue, it appeared that former criminal cohorts Aidan (Patrick Bergin) and Ciara (Denise McCormack) hadn’t seen each other for five years, and they had some important business to discuss.
But clearly, Aidan also had one or two personal matters he wanted to get off his chest.
Partially hidden by a Trilby hat, he tenderly caressed Ciara’s face and purred: “I’d do anything for you.”
