"Albert Square & Me", 20 Oct 2009
This is a 'must have' for any EastEnders fan!
Taken from past issues of the New York based "Walford Gazette" newspaper; readers get an insiders glimpse into the minds of the actors who bring their characters to life in a ficticious London borough.
Containing 52 exclusive interviews and photos with both past and present cast members-it is often a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Edited by Larry Jaffee (editor Of the "Walford Gazette"); the book spans EastEnders 25 year history with many of England's most beloved residents of Albert Square.

As an ardent fan of the EastEnders (and also born in the East End of London) I was looking forward to reading "Albert Square & Me" a collection of interviews compiled and edited by Larry Jaffee from the Walford Gazette, a newspaper devoted to the long-running English TV series Eastenders (also broadcast in the U.S.). Although I had read these interviews before, some were many years ago and long forgotten so, from the two Forewards, the first interview with June Brown (Dot Cotton), to the last interview with Derek Martin (Derek Slater), and, yes, even the Epilogue - I was totally hooked. In some instances it brought tears to my eyes. I felt as if I had come across a "memoir" of family and friends and was eager to be back into their lives. If you are an EastEnder follower you will love it and, if you have never seen the EastEnders I believe, after reading the book you would want to be introduced to the series. Enjoy, as I didAlbert Square & Me: The Actors of EastEnders!

Albert Square & Me, by Larry Jaffee the editor of the Walford Gazette, is a must for EastEnders fans. The volume consists of interviews he, Tim Wilson and Dan Abramson conducted over a seventeen-year period with actors from the famous BBC soap opera which is so highly praised and revered in America. For individuals who never subscribed to the Walford Gazette, this volume will be a new-found treasure, and for those who have, you will now have all the interviews in one handy location. As one American PBS station after another drops this expensive show from their offerings, it is even more crucial that someone like Larry Jaffee seeks to create an historical record.
