either get a uk vpn and then you can watch all the uk channels on demand...or download what you want to watch from one of the millions of torrent sites...

Eastenders is included in the Showtime/Orbit package, it's on every weeknight at 7.30, episodes are only a few weeks behind.

I'm going down the download route. Soaps get uploaded the same day they're shown on telly and you can download them in about 30 mins. If you have an XBox or PS3 you can just transfer them across to your telly... or watch them on the computer.
