Totally agreed it's about time the Mitchell's had friends on the square again that they've known for years not just some heavies with an unknown backstory
It doesn't have an amazing action scene it doesn't have high stakes or a death but this has to be the greatest Eastenders episode/set of clips to date it features great likeable characters the Mitchell brothers in there prime helping out an old friend and the whole square having a great time celebrating and laughing with one another this is what Eastenders should be heartwarming moments like this
Pretty much all the best characters of the 90s. Grant Phil Mark Michelle Bianca Debbie Clair Ian Arthur Sonia Natalie Carol Simon David Kathy Cindy Ricky Martin Ethal Peter Lucy Nigel Sharon Pat Ron Pauline Legg Maxine
I know this is just a soap opera - but is just shows how different things were only 25 years ago. You'd never get that now - far too many people scared to walk the streets !
Miss these days of EE Pauline, Arthur, Michelle, Mark, Ethel, Alan, Carol, Phil, Grant, Sanjay & Gita, Debs & NIIIIIIIGE! So much better back in the day. Street parties instead of constant despair (ironic to say on this vid, I know considering what happens to Debs and poor Nige 😢) *sigh*
There's an old unwritten rule that there must be a banner handy at all times in the East end, anyone responsible for one who fails to produce it is sent "up west"
Liam got the Mitchell brothers to back off in a later episode. Phil put his hand on Liam (Grant was also present) and was told "take your hand off me or i'll do you for assault". The Mitchell brothers immediately backed down. A far cry from being threatened with a week in hospital and never being able to walk again.
@@kevinmcm19 True gangsters would deal with all of this outside of any legal authority. Phil and Grant acted as big men but in reality, were not that dangerous unlike for example the Krays. Failure to listen to the Krays would cost you dearly. Failure to listen to the Mitchell's, well a day in court.
Hi I'm Nigel I'm afraid me and Dr Griffin can't remove your wide fronts out of the washing machine. We will have to give you some Daz to comfort you while you wait.
:-D This is Truly Eastender's Greatest Era - The Early 90s. Wish It was like this again.
yep i agree
Phil and Grant's friendship with Nigel was really good! Nigel was like a brother to them at times.
always funny how them two were hard nuts and nige was complete opposite.
IKR. They were also good friends with Ricky, and he was the complete opposite to them as well.
@Stuart Cumings True, Nigel always had to get the Mitchells to hold his hand for him and fight his battles for him.
Maybe he allowed them to admit that they had a bit of heart, too.
God knows why nigel was a bit of a mug
This is lovely to see 😊I miss old eastenders
I'd love Grant and Nige to come back to see them all together again.
Totally agreed it's about time the Mitchell's had friends on the square again that they've known for years not just some heavies with an unknown backstory
Have I got news for you
lol the last comment - 6 years later😅
Nige is back lol
Well you wouldn’t believe this but…….

Aye, amazing, this was golden Eastenders.
I love this too, but it also struck me as starkly contrasting with how unrelentingly depressing the show often became. 😓
Who's here after Nigel came back?
me
Me nice surprise
Big Ron calling her a silly old tart lol 😂
I’m not having this’
‘No one’s offering it to you’.
Priceless!
Well done nigel,grant and phil you guys always make a friends
If only the police were like this in real life that would make life so much better
If only this happened in real life people helping each other and caring for each other.
you mean bullying and cowadice..if the mitchels lived in my area they would be reported pair of scum
Thais was over 30 years ago crazy how time flies so fast.
All these old classics do is wish i was still 14 in 1994 living my best life, what a time to be alive that era now ermmmm .... better not say
he was so lovely getting her flowers
"Go grab a packet of biscuits or summit" Loved Pauline
This is the 1000th episode i remember watching this
In real life people don’t really care about each other.Sad but true.
They DID back in the 90s
See coppers can have a heart of gold. But I can't help but feel there's an air of sadness amongst all this happiness cos of what happened to Debbie
i loved debbie and little clare
Aww i remember reading in a paper that little Clare was bullied in school just because she was in Eastenders , kids can be so cruel sometimes .
if you expect children to behave badly they often do
The 90s had some good times
Such s terrific cast here. Loved Gita and Sanjay, Nigel and Claire, Phil Kathy and Grant, Michelle as Susan Tully not the last one.

Liam reminds me of Nick Cotton in this.
just thinking the same thing.
They would have made a great criminal duo
Yes both of them would’ve ganged up on Nigel together but Phil and Grant would’ve smashed the pair to pieces

That's the Orgazoid!

MJ's Queen I agree and hardly watch Eastenders these days!
STEPHEN DUNCAN I only watch these days cos of Danny Dyer 😍😍😍😍😍
Dr legg
If they only decided to hold a street party ten minutes ago, where did the banner come from @ 3:25?
They would have had the reception in the Vic anyway... so guessing they'd had the banner done already?
There's an old unwritten rule that there must be a banner handy at all times in the East end, anyone responsible for one who fails to produce it is sent "up west"
So you cannot put a banner up in a pub, where it was originally going to be held anyway? You must be some kind of dim.
0:36 NIGEL, GRANT & PHIL VS LIAM
The flowers changed lol
I've not forgotten what this guy did to poor Jez.
The police accepting the shandy 😂😂😂 guy salty becaue no one working on the stalls
Is that big Ron? Aka Ron Taar? Good character
my dad and my uncle were like the Mitchells they could fight but only if they had too and I ask who was harder and they said depends on the day
It's the Orgazoid!
I thought he was just a man in a shirt, sitting on a chair!
I notice Grant and Phil had new pair of trainers
Phil, Ian, and Sharon are the only characters there that still appear on the show.
There's also Kathy.
@@Paul1985 And now Cindy and Nigel is back, and ignored Tracy. Time passes, actors come back
He’s like a mix of Trevor, Nick and Tricky Dicky
The bobbys were so lovelly.
Dr Legg and Big Ron with speaking parts.
Who's that guy at 8:13?
Like a prototype Patrick
That's Patrick's dad, Aidan Trueman.
@@H.K.5 no it's not
Prototype lmao 🤣 I thought the same! I can't tell if that woman is Asian or black or both lol.
Who played the guy with the tape on his mouth?
Francis Magee
Yeah Phil tell me anything...except what really matters to a wise guy like Phil. Can't get near the fire without being burned Kathy.
too much for kathy to handle
Grant vs Liam Taylor
No contest. Grant would paint the square red with liam
Great to see Nigel back in 2024
l must of missed a lot of episodes but that dog Ethel was carrying around didn’t look like her little willie 🤔
Kathy was looking good
She still looks good
This is when Eastenders was decent.
Liam got the Mitchell brothers to back off in a later episode. Phil put his hand on Liam (Grant was also present) and was told "take your hand off me or i'll do you for assault". The Mitchell brothers immediately backed down. A far cry from being threatened with a week in hospital and never being able to walk again.
Yh coz Nigel had a custody case to worry bout
Didn't want it to be used against nigel

like the old news reels this isnt it. yes.
wow the old skool jam sandwich police car lol

Sanjaaaaaay
Didn’t know Chris Sutton used to be in Eastenders
When Claire was a sweet, little girl.
Sonia 😂😂😂
Sonia, ricky and robbies gormless permanently open mouth faces. Proper thickos.
8:13 Jules was porking Blossom
Why killed Debbie off big mistake.
5:05
Think Michelles boyfriend has been in Coronation Street .
The other actress who played Debbie was much nicer!
Cindy was fit
honestly i think she still is now that shes back.
WILLEM WILLEM WILLEM
Sanjays front door. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
