Oh, EastEnders. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways. 1) Your furious hatred of anyone enjoying a happy ending makes our own lives better in comparison. 2) Your Mr Jake Wood is heat’s Weird Crush 2015 winner (oh yeeaaahh). 3) Your occasional dip in the pool of live TV GIVES US LIFE.

Just check out some of the greatest live scene fails from the soap over the last 30 years, in honour of last night’s ‘How’s Adam’ gem from Tanye Branning actress Jo Joyner.

'Enders 25th anniversary: When EVERYTHING WENT WRONG

Max Branning (Jakey boy) got caught trying to make himself puke when the camera lingered on him a bit too long, Jack Branning (Scott Maslem) lost the ability to speak in actual English, and good old Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) decided to change the ENTIRE storyline by fluffing one of her lines.

Dead Bradley's moving fingers

Lifeless bodies aren't generally known for their good mobility - unless you're lying dead in Albert Square, in which case feel free to get up and walk around if you want.

30th anniversary live week: 'Who' or 'you'?

Jake actually had to tweet after Tuesday night's episode to clarify Max had said "you" not "who" to daughter Abi - otherwise that would've been a whooooole different storyline.

"How's Adam?"

Arguably our favouritest moment in EastEnders history, when Tanya Branning tries to ask Jane Beale about husband Ian Beale but gets the fictional character confused with real-life actor Adam Woodyatt.

Oh, Easties. Never stop being you.
