A BBC boss has revealed plans for EastEnders to resume filming within a matter of weeks.
The popular BBC soap had to halt production back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. But it looks like plans are getting underway for the show to start production back up again.
Charlotte Moore, the broadcaster’s director of content, wrote in the Telegraph: “We’ve been looking carefully at how we can safely put some of our shows back into production, and I’m pleased to announce that we plan to begin filming again on both EastEnders and Top Gear by the end of June.
“We’re also exploring ways to restart shooting on dramas and other major BBC shows.”
She added: “Of course, we will work within Government guidelines. Crews will be strictly limited.
“Cast members will do their own hair and make up. Social distancing will be in place.”
Will EastEnders run out of episodes?
As well as stopping filming back in March, the amount of weekly episodes aired was cut down from four to two to ensure there is plenty to see us through the lockdown.
