Woman almost dies after Eastenders binge watch attempt

A woman from Yorkshire has taken her TV binging habits to a new level this week when she attempted to watch all 2147 hours (and counting) of the primetime BBC One soap 'Eastenders.'

After attempting to 'see where it all began', the woman suffered a minor stroke likely caused by a sudden spike in blood pressure, possibly stemming from a lack of sleep.

The Yorkshire binger said that she organised a daily schedule in order to promptly catch up to current recordings. Sue even began having second thoughts about the binge at one point, saying "It was draining. But where can you stop? Imagine seeing Ian Beale from the very beginning, all his ups and downs, all his tragedy and woe, imagine all that culminating in a trivial morning dispute about whether who took the last of the milk. It would've made everything I'd watched a complete waste of time."

Sue watched so much of the show she thought what was happening was real. 'When Phil Mitchell got shot I called the police' Sue recalls.

The woman also said that she started hearing the famous Eastenders 'Doofs' every time she received bad news. "I often had to tell people to repeat what they were saying, often multiple times when there was more bad news. People thought I was crazy" Sue explains.

Sue said she expected to finally finish watching the show by around late 2037, assuming the show was immediately cancelled.
