Synopsis[]
A radical rethink causes chaos. Alan Yentob, the BBC Director of Drama, Entertainment and Children's, is unhappy with all the doom and gloom in EastEnders, so Louise Berridge, the executive producer, comes up with an episode in which all the characters are positive and happy, culminating in a performance of Singin' in the Rain.
