EastEnders takes on antisemitism with swastika graffiti on Jewish grave

Although Dr Legg retired in 1997, he has occasionally re-appeared and returned to the series after a long absence last month.

In last night’s episode, he was discussing what funeral arrangements to make with his friend Dot Cotton (played by June Brown).

Visiting the Jewish cemetery, he is explaining the custom of putting a stone on a grave when he is shocked to see his mother’s grave defaced by antisemitic graffiti.
