Filming of EastEnders was slightly disrupted today as a 10cm thick blanket of snow covered the external set - when they were supposed to be filming scenes for April!

Various scenes had to be re-jigged and a source told me: "We're currently filming scenes which will transmit in April but the weather isn't very spring-like today with the Square covered in snow! Fortunately inside the Queen Vic it's business as usual."

Third assistant director Tom Hutchings, who took the pictures, told the soap's official site: "I've never seen the place so deserted… what’s normally a very busy film unit has turned into a very picturesque winter wonderland. I'd settle for a pint in the Queen Vic any day than film in those conditions!"
