Danny Dyer, grunting and pumping away in the dark. Danny Dyer doing a shot of cough syrup through his corneas. Danny Dyer slowly but deliberately breaking every bone in a gang member’s body. Danny Dyer colourfully using every swearword that has ever existed in the history of the English language and giving several elderly viewers fatal heart attacks. Danny Dyer lobbing a home-made Molotov cocktail at the headquarters of Ofcom and yelling to the sky to ‘Come and get it, you slaaags’.
It’s a heartwarming vision of the future, isn’t it? And it could all come to pass if Danny Dyer got his way and sexed up EastEnders.
Speaking during Monday night’s Attitude Awards, he told the Metro that the BBC1 show could do with a bit more grittiness – to really convey that East End spirit, y’know?
“Do I think there should be a late-night EastEnders so there could be more sex? Yeah, I do – and a bit more swearing would be nice,” he said.
Would that involve you getting your own little Danny out, Danny?
“I’d frighten the life out of people with the size of me! But I would love to do that,” he added, while eating an eel pie with his hands.
Oh Danny Dyer. Never stop being you.
