Radio Drama - Ideas Theme: EastEnders (Soap, drama) Slot: Afternoon Drama on BBC Radio 4 (on Saturday from 2:30pm-3:30pm) between because this is the time when the station broadcasts dramas that will entertain audiences and be accessible for everyone. Genre: My genre will have a whodunnit theme in a soap genre. Synopsis: The basic synopsis is that a young girl called Lucy is murdered and three of her friends, Jay, Whitney and Lee, discover her body.
