Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Here's the solution to "EastEnders":
There were lots of submissions of TROUBLE. Quite a few people remembered Don Cheadle's character in "Oceans 11" saying "So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in real barney." The translation of this comes from "Barney Rubble Trouble". As a result, a few submitted BARNEY RUBBLE or BARNEY. But it was the presence of STRIFE in the grid that pointed the way to the intended answer.
