Tonight's the night Archie Mitchell's killer is finally revealed.
In a live broadcast to celebrate twenty five years of Eastenders the BBC has created one of the most compelling soap storylines in years.
Clever script writing has ensured that everyone and no one could be the culprit. It has been reported that there are ten possible endings and those actors involved in the denoument will only know a few minutes before the live show airs. The biggest worry for the producers tonight is the possibility of snow, which in a live show may have some impact on proceedings.
Bookmakers William Hill must certainly have been convinced that there would be no leaks by offering a market for this particular bet. The favourite has been changing with some rapidity, with extra characters re emerging from the Walford woodwork at each episode, gathering in an ever more crowded Queen Vic for the eventual Miss Marple type reveal.

There are many similarities between this gamble and betting on the Grand National, with the use of a blindfold and pointer as likely to incur success as an informed decision. The scriptwriter's pen is even more powerful than the state of the ground at Beecher's Brook, but the fun of taking part in a National event with a small flutter adds to the enjoyment of a bit of history.
As to the villain? Sean Slater remains favourite which with his violent past seems understandable but the reasons for 9 year old Ben heading towards Borstal are less clear although of couse his gene pool is of concern. The Odds would suggest that whilst Bradley Branning appears all stitched up with the crime that this storyline is a red Herring.
Surely Grant Mitchell can't escape this historical episode and after all Barbara Windsor is due to leave the show and what a great departure that would be. However Dot Cotton who has doggedly followed her Christian beliefs throughout the past twenty five years, even when so challenged by her vile son Nick is probably due a breakdown, and at 83 actress June Brown might find a dramatic retirement, at 100/1 why not?
