With EastEnders in the midst of its live celebration week to mark its 30th anniversary on Thursday, February 19, London Underground passengers who travel via Bromley-By-Bow station are to be treated today with special station announcements from Danny Dyer throughout the day.
Putting his own spin on various announcements such as telling passengers to stand back from closing doors and ensure they're using valid tickets, Danny Dyer gets into character as Mick Carter - his EastEnders alter ego that's often found passing through the barriers of the fictional Walford East Station - the place that replaces Bromley-By-Bow on the show's map.
Area Manager for Bromley-By-Bow London Underground Station, Sandra Anderson said: "Our station is at the heart of the East End and it is fantastic that as part of EastEnders' 30th anniversary, our customers will be able to hear one of the most recognisable voices from the show telling them that there is a 'right pukka' service on the District line."
Danny Dyer said of his involvement: "I can't tell you how much I loved sitting in the Bromley-By-Bow control room with them lovely ladies in their blue coats who work tirelessly. I remember I used to go through there and get off at Mile End on the district line and change to the Central line to get to Stratford. It brought back some happy memories. So remember everyone - mind that gap".
EastEnders live week continues tonight on BBC One at 8pm.
