This is one for our Landan readers (they exist *waves*)... Danny Dyer - when he's not playing Lucy Beale's latest murder suspect (why not, everyone else has had a whirl? Mind you, at this point I reckon Tanya did it in a jealous rage and Jane helped her dispose of the body - because that's what women in soap will do for the likes of Max Branning), getting himself in a headlock, or licking Mary Berry's ear 'ole - can be mostly found being a Tube announcer for today. Why? Because EastEnders' are going all aaaaht with their 30th anniversary spectaculaaaar - most of which you can read about over in TV News.
According to the BBC website, this is why there's pictures flying abaaaht of Dyer posing outside Bromley-By-Bow Tube station: "The actor will be on the public address system at Bromley-by-Bow station. It was chosen because it's replaced by the fictional Walford East station on Tube maps in the show."

Of his stint as announcer (no idea how long he's doing it for, about an hour this morning given the BBC posted the article two hours ago and he's already speaking in the past tense), Dyer said: "I can't tell you how much I loved sitting in the control room with them lovely ladies in their blue coats who work tirelessly... So remember everyone - mind that gap."
See, there's no telling where the Dyer ends and the Mick begins...
One of the lovely ladies in their blue coats, 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."
