The hour-long ‘deep-dive’ is fronted by actor and presenter Ross Kemp, who returned as Grant Mitchell in tonight’s episode.
It features special appearances from Albert Square legends Anita Dobson and Pam St Clement, with the original landlady taking a trip back down memory lane alongside her on-screen daughter Letitia.
Back on set for the first time in many, many years, Anita Dobson reminisces with Letitia Dean and Ross asks how it feels to be reunited:
Anita said: “Absolutely wonderful! I feel very emotional, very happy. She looks beautiful, I love her to bits.”
Letitia added: “Anita was like a second mum to me.”
“Yes, and she was the baby girl I never had,” Anita replied.
Ross shows Anita and Letitia an archive publicity photo of Lesley, Angie, Sharon and their pet poodle Roly.
Anita laughed: “That dog, you would say ‘action’, he’d sit up, you’d say ‘cut’ and he’d relax!”
Meanwhile Ross also speaks to Pat Butcher icon Pam St Clement in a rare interview.
Pam told him: “When I got the part of Pat like any actor I decided to do a bit of homework, I saw this bus conductress on a number 38 bus and she was wearing these most dangly earrings.
“Pat always wears the earring that fit her mood.”
Ross asked: “How many earrings did Pat get through?”

With the 40th anniversary of EastEnders coming up, fans are looking forward to some more incredible cameos from iconic faces of Walford's past. But who have we had so far?

She told him: “You know those tool boxes you can get that fold up? I had one of those and a wall bracket with dangling earrings, but the interesting thing is most of them came from viewers.
“Oh, yes. They’d say – I saw these in the market and I thought they were absolutely right for Pat!”

CHINA has unveiled plans for a deep-sea mega-lab that will be hidden 6,500ft down in the bitterly contested South China Sea.
The underwater base will study “cold seep” ecosystems – unique seabed environments humming with life and potentially holding vast reserves of fuel.
China has announced it is to build a research centre for the ocean floorMission 31 Facebook pageThe sunken facility will be anchored to the ocean floor and used to explore natural resources[/caption]
China has debated subaquatic expansion in the sensitive territory for years, and this could inflame disputes that are raging in the region.
Once constructed, the station will be anchored to the seabed and constantly taking readings from the deep.
SUNKEN HQ
Inside, China’s facility will be kitted out with advanced life-support systems to allow scientists to live and work down there for up to a month.
It will also run a permanent monitoring network to measure levels of methane – the natural fuel scientists have detected down there.
It will accommodate teams of up to six scientists at a time, who will be carrying out live experiments.
Along with unmanned submarines, ships and seabed observatories, the new lab will form part of a much larger “four-dimensional” network giving China unprecedented depths information about its surrounding waters.
It will also be wired into China’s sprawling fibre-optic web that is laid across the seabed.
Scientists have not revealed how they will power the huge facility, but nuclear is a possibility.
The incoming innovation was announced this morning by Yin Jianping, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ South China Sea Institute of Oceanology.
He promised: “Construction will begin soon.”
China’s new plans are a similar concept to the US’s concept for an ocean-bed research centre being developed by Proteus Ocean Group.
The cutting-edge project is expected to be in place and operating by 2030.
UNTAPPED RESOURCES
The South China Sea is hot property because it is strategically important and could be a cash cow to those who exploit it.
The Chinese government believes there is a mind-bending 70billion tonnes of methane waiting to be tapped beneath the sand.
If they could access that, it would boost their current gas and oil reserves by half.
China’s concept is similar to a project being developed in the US, as seen in these computer-generated imagesHandoutScientists will be able to carry out experiments on the sea bed[/caption]
It exists as an ice-like solid of frozen methane and water.
The vast seas also contain valuable mineral deposits, including cobalt and nickel.
And there are other, more unusual possibilities scientists have got their eyes on.
Amongst the hundreds of species populating the ocean, some are known to produce enzymes that are key to developing cancer treatment.
Why is the South China Sea contested?
THE South China Sea is an arena for a power struggle between different powers.
Several countries claim the rights to large portions of its territory based on historical rights.
The problem is, some of these claims overlap.
China’s claim is based on a vague “nine-dash line” on some maps, which is not generally recognised in international law.
Many countries argue that China’s claims violate the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Other countries, like Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei, are eager not the concede the territory, because it is known to hold valuable natural assets like natural resources.
One major point of tension is the Spratly Islands, with multiple countries claiming ownership of various islets and reefs.
China has been criticized for constructing artificial islands in the South China Sea and deploying military equipment there.
The latest announcements for a seabed research centre will further inflame this anger.
