This could almost be an episode of The Bill- you can see the influence of producer Michael Ferguson who transferred from Sun Hill to Albert Square in 1990, introducing many characters who would go on to be mainstays (not least the Mitchell brothers). Interesting to see Simon Rouse playing a character almost identical to Jack Meadows in the Bill which he would debut the same year.
Thanks for the upload . This was a great episode ! Eddie was a great character & Grant was quite different when he first started. The start of the Grant & Sharon romance .
Loved clyde, the only decent one in the family. His dad was weak like, his mother was stuffy just like Hattie. Clyde had personality and stuck up for himself. Michelle should have stayed with him, she didn't get better. Although he and his cousin lived happily ever after in Trinidad. They loved Trini characters in the show like with Patrick. As a Jamaican that's fine, they need to show other Caribbean characters. Sharon and grant, he loved her as he later told Tiffany but see how he flirted with that woman once he put Sharon in the car. He didn't cheat while married to Sharon like with Tiffany maybe. The episode definitely seemed like the Bill. Don't like curries but grant's description of the food was yummy. She should have stayed with him, Phil was better with Kathy and Dennis died. Mean trick he played, what if Sharon didn't have her wallet? Was that Sam's first episode?
Enjoyable work, a healthy income, security. Life could be a hell of a lot worse. I know what you're getting at, about the lack of variety in roles. But it's a good tradeoff for the quality of life it provides.
Stability. Apparently most actors are out of work. It's very competitive and especially in holly weird. So some leave to try and make it and some do make it and others just stay in soap. Phil's been there 30 odd years, Grant left only coming back sometimes, Sharon left a few times and always came back. But the Mitchell's are probably the most successful eastenders families although the Watts, Fowlers and Beales were the original. A bit like the Dingles are the family in emmerdale and maybe the Mcqueens in hollyoaks. Poor Sharon, wonder what it would have been like if Den came back while she was with Grant. It was as good as when they introduced Dennis. Always liked Clyde but his family are so horrible and a bad stereotype of black people. Clyde was cool because he didn't tap dance to please people, he did the right thing. Unlike his annoying mother and his sister was annoying too. Michelle should have stayed with him. She lurched from one failed relationship to another. Sometimes it'd have been cute had Sharon and Grant worker. He really loved her but he just didn't try to change until it was too late. He did the same with Tiffany. But Dennis and Sharon are so 😍 😊 Eddie royle wasn't too bad was he, like Nick Cotton? He was a bit dodgy but not evil
This show is a gem

Even the handheld camera work is similar to The Bill.
Deffo giving me bill vibes from the 90-95 era of the bill just random episodic episodes with a few regular characters littered in
now looking back... you can see eliments of his bill character.

Grant was so corny in his early days.
Sam was outside the old Grange Hill school
Thank you from the States!
They should of never killed off Eddie Royale! 😤
Grant's hair loss was rapid
Here for a man of 27 in 1990,
4:53 Jack Meadows from the bill
Like Clyde's funky Fred Perry Adidas combo with
The old style headphones
Grant with the classic suit for court look.
Apart from jack meadows from the bill appearing in this but the other copper was in Touch of Frost for a series as DCI Peters
This show shaped my personality
That must be sad for you.
It shaped my viewing of TV the quality of UK TV 📺
In this era unlike now with
All this woke nonsense 👎
15:56 nick berry who would grace our screens later in itv's heartbeat
I smashed seven bells out of Grant once
Jack Meadows from The bill
I Love BBC and public television
Who doesn’t love BBC
8:10 "Oh, I'm sorry".
"I'm not". 😅
Hi, don't suppose you've got the episode from 20th February 2000 you could upload on archive do you.
Quite appropriate music playing when Eddie arrives at the Party at 22:58.
Anyone know where the scene by the river was filmed? Docklands I guess but can't tell where exactly
On the Isle of dogs near South Quay DLR station
@@peterduggan2034 ahhh, thank you! How can you tell it's South Quay?
It Meadows from the Bill
Jack Meadows
Sam so young 👱♀️👱♀️

Why would an actor/actress just stay in soaps
Enjoyable work, a healthy income, security. Life could be a hell of a lot worse. I know what you're getting at, about the lack of variety in roles. But it's a good tradeoff for the quality of life it provides.
It's a steady income that pays more than most jobs out there, and they get to do what they enjoy.
