Saw this on eastenders aswell and annoyed everyone by saying what complete bollocks the whole scene was - pretty sure the 'break' was a trip outside to wee against the house and none of them washed their hands either.

Pretty much without exception the etiquette and rules are comprehensively ignored when poker meets tv 'drama'.
Even American made programmes suffer from the same issue with people holding their cards right up to their faces to look at them before announcing
"I call your hundred" pause, 
"and raise you this much"
before moving all in by just shovelling their chips into the middle not just splashing the pot but absolutely drenching it.
My wife gives me "that look" when I mention these things. I think I deserve it.

Not sure what this is all about !!

There is no way keith of any other pro or even experienced player would let someone pull up from there pocket ... Remove cards from table or have a break before the hand is over.

There is a joke here somewhere I am sure!

It is a parody of a scene from Eastenders, or Corrie, Lee. Keith is clearly a fan.

Yeah must confess it was not an actual hand I played but was from Eastenders last night.  I'm all for a bit of dramatic license (I didn't even mention the fact that Alfie splashed the pot when he called) but you'd think they might make a slight effort for the hand to comply with some of the basic rules, especially as Eastenders seems to rehash some ridiculous poker story line every 3 years or so (I seem to remember Mark Fowler calling an all in with his Fruit and Veg stall about 10 years ago!).

I guess poker and court room scenes are the two where script writers just decide meh sod it we'll just write what we like.

This is the main problem with the general perception of poker.  One of my favorite questions I still get asked, despite being a SNG / MTT player, what if you lose it all on one hand?
