Extra Lucas scenes to air on red button

Published Friday, Jul 16 2010, 17:55 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly | 13 comments

EastEnders' ongoing Lucas saga has certainly given fans plenty to talk about over the past few months, and now viewers are getting a chance to see even more from the Walford killer.

It's been announced today that extra scenes relating to the dark storyline will be exclusively available on the BBC's red button service later this month.

After any of the regular EastEnders episodes airing between July 26 and July 30, fans will be able to use the red button to access the additional material. The scenes are expected to fit in with the events being screened on the main soap across the week.

While exact details of the extra scenes are not yet known, bosses are promising that they will further reveal "the dark side of Lucas Johnson".

Full details of when the material can be viewed follow below:

Monday 26th July, 8.25pm - midnight
Tuesday 27th July, 7.55pm - midnight
Thursday 29th July, 7.55pm - midnight
Friday 30th July, 8.25pm - midnight

The scenes can be viewed on Sky, Virgin and Freeview, but will not be available on Freesat.

If that's not enough, there's also the previously-announced Murders of Lucas Johnson show to look forward to - airing on BBC Three on July 30.
