EastEnders fans were left wondering if they'd accidentally tuned into "Poundland Reservoir Dogs" last night as the BBC soap's heist scene rumbled on.
Last night's episode saw a gangster-style interrogation over the missing heist money.
Mick Carter's kidnappers threw him in the back of a van - but only drove him down the road to the Arches.
There, viewers feared Mick could be in serious danger as Phil Mitchell and the rest of the gang questioned him.
But quickly realised they had nothing to worry about from the scenes that resembled a "Carry On Goodfellas".

"#EastEnders samosas and poundland Reservoir Dogs, brilliant writing," one viewer tweeted.
"I know people are hating it but I'm really loving the Carry On Goodfellas Lufthansa Heist on #Eastenders," another added.
While a third viewer complained: "This heist s*** is dragging out now. Aidan is doing my head in."
Meanwhile, there were a lot of things that confused EastEnders fans last night.
From samosa-gate to the never-ending heist interrogations about where the money is, viewers weren't exactly thrilled this evening.
But there was one thing in particular that left fans utterly baffled - the fact that Mick Carter had been kidnapped and bundled into a van, only to be driven barely a hundred meters away to the Arches.
So, of course, viewers flocked to Twitter to question what the point of it had been.

One tweeted: "Did they seriously use a van just to drive to the arches?"
Another commented: "Love the way that they have bundled Mick into the back of a van, to take him to the Arches. It would have been quicker to carry him #eastenders."
A third irritated viewer remarked: "So they bundled Mick into a van, in broad daylight, with a woman screaming. And they only drove him 10 yards round the corner. Whatever moron came up with this heist storyline and boring Aiden needs shooting #EastEnders."
"This storyline gets more ridiculous - Mick attacked, thrown in a rented van, driven 100metres and tied up in the Arches," another commented.
One noticed one rather big issue: "I'm puzzled how no one saw them fighting with balaclavas on and bundling him in the van #eastenders."
Another tweeted: "Did they really have to put mick in the van and drive him to the garage? Surely that’s a waste of petrol? #eastenders."
Oh dear...
