EastEnders fans with access to digital telly are in for a treat, thanks to BBC Three.

A new 45-minute special, called EastEnders Feuds: The Beales vs The Mitchells, will explore the long-simmering animosity between Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).

The pair have been at each other's throats for the past 12 years, but for those who may not know why, here's a chance to find out.

Ian and Phil have endured many trials and tribulations during their time in Walford.

The mechanic has been shot at, while his rival has overcome being targeted by a hit-man and the embarrassment of bankruptcy, thanks to Phil's refusal to help him.

You'd think their many experiences would give them some sort of solidarity, but as we saw at Peggy's recent birthday party, neither man can resist trying to get one over on the other.

Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian, is among the many contributors to the show.

He's joined by cast members past and present, including Hannah Waterman, Perry Fenwick and Cliff Parisi, to reminisce about the simmering tensions between the two residents.

Co-creator Tony Jordan also offers his thoughts on the key events that have ensured Ian and Phil remain bitter enemies.

The programme is narrated by former EastEnders star Martin Kemp.
