EastEnders is filmed at BBC Elstree
Centre in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
Each day the production team film
between, adding up to approximately 13
minutes of screen time. This compares to
five or six minutes shot per day on a
normal TV drama. Episodes are produced
in "quartets" of four episodes, each of
which starts filming on a Tuesday and
takes nine days to record. he episodes are
usually filmed about six to eight weeks in
advance of broadcast. During the winter
months, filming is done twelve weeks in
advance, due to less daylight for outdoor
filming.

Operation Model-Distribution UK and Europe
The BBC is required but the BBC Agreement to ensure that audiences
are able to access the UK Public Services that are intended for them.
The overall cost of maintaining the distributing content is significant -
some £210m, or 6% of the licence fee.
The distribution policy was reviewed and updated in 2012. The reason for
this was that there had been considerable change in the technology
world. Now the majority had smartphones so they could access all the
programmes if they had the correct app. This resulted in the broadcasting
and IP environments were blurring into one.
The Distribution framework covers the distribution of TV, Radio and
Online services (including BBC iPlayer and Red Button services) to any
device used to access them including TVs, radios, personal and tablet
computers, games platforms, set top boxes, and mobile phones. To
oversee all off this the BBC set up their own Executive Board to manage
that the principals of the BBC Trust are fulfilled.
This distribution is not just in the UK but to a number European countries
such as: In the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and
Switzerland. In these countries digital and cable operators carry a range
of BBC channels these include BBC One, BBC Two and BBC World
News.

On 1st March 2016, the BBC News released an article stating
that the BBC Trust should be replaced by OFCOM. Sir David
Clementi, who led the independent review, said there was a
need for "fundamental reform". His main concerns with BBC
Trust is "It conflates governance and regulatory functions
within the Trust. The BBC should have a unitary Board
charged with responsibility for meeting the obligations
placed on it under the Royal Charter and Agreement, and
responsibility for the interests of Licence Fee payers.” he
believes that by having OFCOM in charge it would "be
important to get the details right, and we now want to work
with the Government to ensure roles are clear, the structure is
effective and the BBC's independence protected."
