Was EastEnders insensitive and sensationalist?

Nicky Campbell asks if EastEnders' cot death storyline was 'ill-informed and cynical'. The founder of Mumsnet has written to the 大象传媒 to complain about the Christmas baby-swap plot.

Ill-informed and cynical - that's what Mumsnet is calling the EastEnders cot death storyline.

Do you agree?

Justine Roberts, the website's founder has written to the Director-General of the 大象传媒 after receiving thousands of complaints.

Mumsnet says that far from raising awareness, the soap is painting bereaved mothers as mentally disturbed. Do you agree? Is EastEnders guilty of insensitive and sensational writing?

Nicky Campbell takes your calls; you can read what listeners had to say on the 5 live website at bbc.co.uk/5live.
