Nice find Rothbhoy. As a super hero PVC finder can you help?… I remember an episode in which one of the female main characters wore a lovely shiny plastic or might have been nylon jacket. Any chance you might have come across it?

Hi Cherie! As I scribe there have been 7095 episodes of 'Eastenders' since 1985 so it's no easy task - understatement!
I've given it some thought as you say it is "one of the main female characters". That being the case I think you may be referring to Peggy Mitchell (played by Barbara Windsor) - she wore what I think is a vinyl jacket with a floral pattern in an episode broadcast on 7 November 1994. I'll put it up on the Forum very shortly....

It was one of the younger characters (no offence to Barbara) outdoors walking in the square and I am pretty sure it was a solid colour.
I was only asking on the chance you might know, I wasn’t expecting you to torture yourself watching all those episodes! I remember watching it in the earlier days when it was a welcome distraction from Corrie (which I never liked) but couldn’t bring myself to watch it now, other than your fab PVC clips.

Probably Bianca - pretty sure she also wore a black PVC jacket in a couple of episodes along with the PVC mac she wore in loads.
