Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans were quick to point out an embarrassing error this week.
And it must feel SO good when you spot something that got past a top team of award-winning writers and actors!
10 out of 10 for effort, viewers!

The offending scene aired on Thursday (5 July) when well-intentioned Jean Slater offered to help Hayley in her hour of need.
Stacey’s mum Jean pulled out her purse and dug around for some pennies, so that Hayley could get a bus out of Walford…
Only soap fans called out the fact that London buses don’t accept cash anymore (and haven’t for some time)!

Hayley had planned to go to the job centre, but she wouldn’t have got very far with Jean’s borrowed coins!
You’d have thought that long-time Londoner Jean would have known about Transport for London’s Oyster or contactless card only payment scheme!
One fan wrote: “Bus fare???? So the buses in Walford still take money?”
Another said: “Jean Slater giving Hayley money for the bus fare… London buses only take Oyster and bank cards now! Duurrr.”

A third added: “Does Jean really think that @TfL buses still take cash?”
Meanwhile, fans applauded the soap for introducing Hayley’s character and for the cute bond between her and Jean.
One said: “Hayley can be a mouthy cow (Like Most Of The Slater’s) but she has a heart of gold.”
Another added: “I love Hayley. I’m so glad all the slaters are back.”

“Hayley is an interesting character, developing nicely,” said another.
The Slater family have yet to discover that Hayley is hiding a huge secret from them all.
We wouldn’t want to be in Hayley’s shoes when Kat discovers she is pregnant with Alfie’s child.
The summer trailer shows Kat snarling at Hayley, saying: “You’re one vicious little cow.”
Gulp.
