The 30th anniversary week will include one 30-minute live episode from Albert Square, whilst others will include 'live elements'.

BBC One controller Charlotte Moore said: "BBC One will bring the nation together to celebrate 30 years of EastEnders by going live across the anniversary week.

The murderer is in there somewhere...

BBC drama boss Ben Stephenson said: "After a captivating year of drama in 2014, EastEnders will top this in February 2015 with the most ambitious anniversary any soap has attempted.

"Live week allows us to keep loads of secrets from the cast, crew and the audience until the very last minute. With shocking reveals and unguessable twists it's going to be a week that will change Albert Square forever."

The live week starts on Monday 16 February.
