Huge EastEnders star slams time on soap and claims bosses ‘made promises they never kept'
A FORMER EastEnders star has slammed his time on the show and claimed bosses 'made promises they didn't keep'. Jamie Foreman starred as Derek Branning in EastEnders from November 2011 until December 2012. 3 Jamie Foreman has spoken out about his time on EastEnders Credit: TikTok 3 He played Derek Branning in the BBC One soap Credit: BBC 3 One of bad boy Derek's storylines was an affair with married Kat Slater Credit: BBC Despite being part of one of Walford's most iconic families, Jamie, 67, has confessed his time as Derek is not 'a career highlight'. Speaking on the Lewis Nicholls Show, he said: 'I'm going to be a little bit controversial here. 'I don't see EastEnders as anywhere near the highlight of my career. 'It was a lovely job and I respect it. But for me… they'd asked me so many times before.' Recalling the offer from EastEnders, Jamie continued: 'They said, 'it's with the best family, it's full on, you can do as long as you want'. I said, 'I only want to do it for a year'. 'I went and met with them and they made me all manner of promises that they never kept, like 'you'll never work a Saturday'. I did every Saturday. I was the first in, last out every day.' Jamie's character Derek was killed off during the Christmas Day 2012 episode when he suffered a heart attack. In his short time as a resident of Albert Square Derek cemented himself as one of the soap's most notorious bad boys. He had an affair with Alfie Moon's wife Kat Slater, tormented Pat Butcher on her death bed and told Sharon Watts' son Denny the truth about his dad Dennis Rickman. It's not the first time Jamie has spoken negatively about his time on the show. Penny Branning calls her dad 'big man Jack' in EastEnders In 2013 he appeared on Daybreak and said: 'I hated the scenes in the Queen Vic, I'm terribly sorry to everybody! 'I'm sure a lot of the cast will say the same thing - they're so long and laborious. 'You've got to stand there and wait for somebody over there to stop talking, so you're listening to that conversation, then it cuts to somebody else. You never shoot a scene quickly in there.'

‘Unsung' pioneering actress and director Esme Church honoured with blue plaque
'Unsung' pioneering actress and director Esme Church honoured with blue plaque The recognition in Bradford, where she ran the Northern Theatre School, will allow Esme Church to take her "rightful place in the cultural memory of this country", Historic England said An "unsung" actress and director who founded a theatre school that taught future stars including three-time Bafta winner Billie Whitelaw has been honoured with a blue plaque. The recognition in Bradford, where she ran the Northern Theatre School, will allow Esme Church to take her "rightful place in the cultural memory of this country", Historic England said. Born on 11 February 1893 in Marylebone, London, she trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Rada before making her stage debut in the 1920s, and later joining the Old Vic Company. She performed major Shakespearean roles such as Lady Macbeth and Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, and led the Old Vic's drama school from 1936. Her career as a director began in the 1930s when she became artistic director of the Greyhound Theatre in Croydon, before moving on to Bradford Civic Playhouse where she took up the same role during the 1940s and 1950s. There, she championed regional theatre, established the Northern Theatre School, and mentored The Omen actress Whitelaw, who won a film Bafta in 1969 for best supporting actress for her roles in thriller Twisted Nerve and comedy Charlie Bubbles, along with two Bafta TV gongs. Article continues below Other actors such as Dorothy L Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey star Edward Petherbridge, Secret Army actor Bernard Hepton and theatre actor Sir Robert Stephens, Dame Maggie Smith's former husband, were also among those mentored by Church. Lord Neil Mendoza, chairman of Historic England, called Church a "formidable force in British theatre" who was among the "trailblazing women" who have "not received the national recognition (they) deserve". He added: "It is time that Esme Church takes her rightful place in the cultural memory of this country." The plaque, which will be unveiled on Friday at 26 Chapel Street, Little Germany, reads: "Esme Church, 1893-1972, actress and director ran the Northern Theatre School here." Bruce Durham, the great-nephew of Church, said it is "giving her the recognition that she deserves for all her contributions to the arts". He said: "Growing up with Esme around, it was always wonderful to see and hear about her work – whether it was entertaining troops in France during the First World War, becoming the head of The Old Vic Theatre School, or travelling to and from New York. "It's important that not only my great-aunt Esme is recognised but being able to use brilliant platforms such as Ancestry to uncover the many unsung women who made a significant impact during the early 20th century." Church's contribution comes as Bradford celebrates its year as UK City of Culture in 2025. Si Cunningham, chairman of Bradford Civic Society, said: "It's thrilling to see yet more national recognition for Bradford's pioneering, creative heritage. "Esme Church is an incredibly deserving recipient of a national blue plaque, which perfectly complements the city's own growing blue plaque scheme. "I hope this beautiful plaque, and Esme's fascinating story, inspires a new generation of creative Bradfordians to do great things for their city." Historic England and genealogy site Ancestry are calling on the public to uncover further inspiring women or girls from the 20th century, who may have been forgotten and deserve their place in history.

TV tonight: a new hospital mockumentary for fans of The Office
10.40pm, BBC OneIf Scrubs met Abbott Elementary, you'd get something like this American hospital mockumentary series (but lower your expectations a wee bit). It's from Justin Spitzer – who created Superstore and wrote for The Office – and Eric Ledgin, and follows the dedicated if exhausted team at an underfunded hospital in Oregon. It gets straight into the chaos, with new nurse Matt trying to get through his first day. Hollie Richardson 8.30pm, BBC OneHammond is uncharacteristically 'nervous' as she meets Mel B – whom she has already interviewed three times and found to be 'cagey'. Can she disarm her over a weekend at Mel's leopard print farmhouse in Leeds? Luckily, the former Spice Girl's mum, who is a super-fan of Hammond, joins them on the sofa for a big, long chat. HR 9pm, ITV1 It's the final leg of Lumley's voyage down the Danube and she leaves Serbia to enter Romania via the Iron Gates gorge. After a cup of tea with a nun (not a beer-brewing one like last week), she takes a train along the river then heads to Transylvania in search of brown bears and Dracula's castle. HR 9pm, Channel 4 The celebrity version of this enduring, brilliantly simple couch potato telly-fest returns for a seventh season. Among the sofa buddies are Stephen and Anita Mangan, Rylan and Linda Clark, Mo Gilligan and Babátúndé Aléshé, Jennifer Saunders and Beattie Edmondson and, of course, old faithfuls Shaun Ryder and Bez. Phil Harrison 9pm, Sky ComedyWhile everybody still tries to make sense of the Aidan and Carrie 'together-but-not' situation (including themselves), Miranda has the hots for her British colleague and is newly obsessed with a trashy reality TV show (it is so good to have single Miranda back), while Seema tries a new approach to dating – which involves wearing pearls and florals. HR 9.30pm, BBC OneThe precisely engineered vulgarity of this 90s-set sitcom provides more laughs per minute than the average TV comedy. In the aftermath of Kath (Sian Gibson) getting drunk at an industry awards do, Diane (Rosie Cavaliero) finds solace in a romantic endeavour. But it's not going well for Martin (Conleth Hill) in his new cleaning job at a care home: 'Martin! Rogue turd in room 12! Bring yer gloves!'
