EastEnders set revamp goes £27m over budget
The BBC project to replace and expand the external set of EastEnders will now cost £27m more than originally planned.
The original 2015 forecast for the scheme was £59.7m, but the revised budget is now £86.7m.
A National Audit Office (NAO) report concluded that "the BBC will not be able to deliver value for money... in the way that it envisaged in 2015".
The BBC said the project was "large" and "complex", adding that there had been "challenges on the way".
The original completion date for the project - called E20 - was pushed back from October 2020 to May 2023.....continues
On an awful soap !!!
