Death By Object
Stop press! Archie Mitchell done in by Queen Vic bust! But this isn't the Square's first death by random object.
Here are our Top Walford Weapons...
Ìý
1. Cast Iron Dog Doorstop
Amongst the weapons in Pauline Fowler's arsenal were a machete, an AK47, a candlestick, some lead piping, a slightly -off sandwich, and a dog shaped doorstop. No prizes for guessing which Chrissie used to knock off Den.

2. Shoes
"If only he'd worn slip-on shoes," Barry's grieving wife Janine cried! Next time you complain that your strappy stilettos are killing you, give a thought to Barry Evans who was literally felled by hisÌýfootwear. Janine gave the shove, the slippery soles did the rest.

3. Ashtray
Staunch non-smoker Steve Owen was so incensed by his ex's 40 a day habit that he clunked her over the head with an ashtray. Matthew Rose took the prison term so that Owen could continue his anti-smoking mission. Dot Cotton insisted on round-the-clock police protection until Owen left the Square in 2002.
4. Queen Vic bust
Busty Queen Vic had suffered her fair share of inappropriate groping at the hands of the Vic's boozed up menfolk. But it was an unnecessary polishing administered by lonely Archie Mitchell on Christmas Day that prompted Vicky to get even.

5. Dickie bow
Owen's killing with aÌý bowtie is one of a spate of clothing related injuries (see shoes). Reported links to a further unnamed Walford male who was tripped up by his own underpants are being downplayed by Walford constabulary.

6. Cuddly toy
Bobby Beale has never been held to account for the mislaid toy that caused his mother, Laura, to trip and fall to her death. However, it does explain why Jane is so firm in her insistence that all toys be tidied away by bedtime.

7. Daffodils
Some claim that it was a gun concealed by a bunch of daffs that killed Den first time round. But it was in fact the dastardly blooms that condemned hayfever-prone Den to a death-like anaphylactic shock from which he was revived after 14 years only to be re-extinguished by an iron dog shortly after (see above). Unlucky.

8. Cigarette
Smoking kills. Especially if you light up in the vicinity of a gas outlet, as Doctor May learned to her peril. At least she didn't end up with an ashtray in her head.
