Some of the finest acting ever seen on British TV screens.
We've all been there. RIP Arthur.
"This is Arthur's bench. He hated this square & everyone in it"
Such a powerful and realistic performance from Bill Treacher. I could really feel for Arthur here
Yes when you look back at his performance you realize he was a good actor.A man of his era like so many men.
What made him collapse like that? Sorry I was probably about 4 when this aired
Bill was a tremendous actor usually EastEnders wasn't known for great acting but Bill was top notch
Oh, the curse of the everyday man. A good chap 99% of the time, gets no praise. Does something slightly wrong, everybody punishes him way harder than they should and gives no credit for his otherwise usually good nature.
We all embezzle from our friends and neighbours from time to time, nbd
That’s me all over. My autism doesn’t get valued unless I throw it out the window
@@ignoblesurfer6281NO! We don’t all embezzle from our friends and neighbours from time to time😳 Speak for yourself. Don’t put others in the same pot as u. Thief!
Wow. Even all these years later: wow!
Bet the crew had everything crossed he'd nail this scene on the first take.
The look on Pauline’s face when the penny drops and the identity of Vickys father is revealed before her very eyes....
(Breathes) "Den..."
I don't think any of the last few commenters have actually been in Arthur's situation. I was out of work at Christmas 1986 and although I never thieved anything, I got dangerously close to the way he went. All right, so Arthur's fictional, but this scene is probably the most dramatic way in which EE shows what can happen in real life. There but for the grace of God went I.
yeah i ve felt like tha t a few times-- and smashed everything in anger
@Have-a- Cigar you what?!
Have-a- Cigar it happens often. Especially for men trying to keep a family. Being unemployed at Christmas and New Year after a lifetime of working hard is soul destroying.
Exactly. If one has actually had a breakdown one realises it's no laughing matter.
He just realized he has been married to Pauline for the past 20 years.
And it did that to him? She wasn't that bad!!😀
Now if MARTIN had been married to SONIA for 20 years...
Pauline was pretty nice back then though.
MintSauce ! He just realised that he was Jimmy Saville's bitch in the 1970s 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i think you mean angie, but thanks for playing.
Bill Treacher's acting is superb!
Idk why, but I like the way how they zoom scenes.
Love the big hairspray hair, the suitcases without wheels and the thick, heavy curtains covering the doors to prevent drafts.
Anita Dobson and Letitia Dean are my favourites! Brilliant and beautiful actresses.
Well you would think that lol
How to ruin everyone's Christmas EastEnders style😂
R.I.P.Bill - one of Eastenders finest
whoever included that squeaky toy in the beginning is a genius. almost sounds like laughter in the face of arthur's breakdown.
I think it was just incidental.
Dynamic performances Arthur Fowler a legend Angie Watts absolutely amazing
Miss the old Eastenders
0 - 0:30
Arthur being told that once again, Coronation Street had once again won best soap of the year.
well it *is* the more superior soap after all
Starting at 0:03, Arthur stands up in a fit of rage, steps on a squeaky toy, knocks down a Christmas tree, flips the dining table over, and angrily knocks various items off the drawers and fireplace mantle.
He just figured out that there's no Santa Claus 😁
It's almost like we watched the same thing
When EE was a good show
Such fine acting from Bill treacher
THAT SQUEAKY THING GOT ME CRACK UP OMG
RIP Bill Treacher ; for giving us this tv gold
Sounds like George from Rainbow
Ha ha ha ha
:D lol
Lol
Oooh Geoffrey, we know a song about that.
Don't you mean Zippy?
bill treacher was amazing in all his troubling scenes loved him rip bill
Treacher was amazing in this scene.
Treacher was a hack.
yes he was brilliant
2:11 The original Sean Slater, Lofty Holloway!!!!!
He just heard West Ham lost again.
That squeaky toy has a lot to answer for...
Geraint Atherton Thanks to you, I can't watch this as seriously as I should, now!!😀😀
Geraint Atherton 😀😁😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😁😯😅😅😀😀😁😁
Arfur, had just figured out that Santa Claus wasn't a real person 😂
I've seen these breakdown scenes on this show before, there is always a 5 second deep thought stare, like Arthur and Shirley both had in their break downs, then they smash up the room they're in. Instead of right off the bat there's that pause.
Aww Geoffrey...... lol
Brilliant acting from Bill Treacher RIP
What year did this happened?
@ThorneAstor
They tried the Happy Christmas in 2003 with Kat and Alfie getting married and 2005 when they reconciled after a short split and left but neither well recieved.
Research has shown People don't want HAPPY in EE at Christmas.
Thats everybody in 2021 lockdown!!
looks like me b4 work everyday
Poor Arthur
Poor *Arthur*? Look at these shoes, I've only had them a week and the soles are worn through!
Brilliant
How the nation reacted to den and Angie splitting up
when was the exact date this was aired?
This is where Teresa Guidice learned how to table flip. 😆
this is what they call a breakdown? this is what i call a regular occurrence...
Wish could sing about London the way they do @ 1:40; city not same now.
It's londonstan now, not London.
James Nicholls This was before mass immigration. The hateful ideology (of mass immigration) has mutated London irrevocably.
immigration is a hateful ideology?? ive heard it all now
yes and the east end was great during the thatcher years
gee dee You're missing an important adjective from my qualified critique. Try reading the sentence again.
He stood on that squeaky toy; thats what set it off! lmao!
neil73 can't help laughing at that! Did the squeak startle him?!😀
The lesson here is never step on a squeaky duck before portraying a mental breakdown. It's the first thing they teach you at RADA.
Did anyone hear that on 0:07 😆lol
I guess I can call on Art to take down my Christmas decor next year.
Dot - “verse 9 chapter 6 - thou shalt not run off with the Christmas club money”
0:21 someone make that bit into a remix😂
@Joehere2010 thank you, just warched it now thanks to you!
0:26 As someone pointed out, a long time ago, he sounds like George from Rainbow.
Standard Christmas in the U.K. 🤣
I felt really sorry for Arthur.
Who WOULDN'T have a nervous breakdown if you were married to Pauline?
@@liamwatts9611 He had been made redundant from his job as well. I have been there myself and I can see how easy it can affect your mental health.
And all because there was no Action man in frogman gear under the tree
I bet this is what Eckersley felt like not that Davis cared
why would there be an action man under the tree?
@@unfuzzy Christmas innit?
@@arserobinson7118THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOUR'S RADIO.
That's what happens when you don't get a turkey for Christmas dinner . Ah ha
Jarrod Morrison he needs help
what do they get? quail?
Poor Arthur.
0.46 secs dots face 😂
Imagine this, hes playing deal or no deal and theres 1p, 10p and £5 left up on the screen and the banker rings and offers 40p. now play from 0:08 LOL
When Eastenders was decent, now it's dreadful.
Arthur's meltdown is begging to be remixed :D
This is me in lockdown
This is titled wrong isnt it? Its 98% Angie and Den?
What was the second song? I recognised 'maybe it's because I'm a Londoner.'
It's called 'My Melancholy Baby'; it was sung by Frank Sinatra
alex jones It's called I love to lick a good love pump 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
liking sharons 80s outfit!!
@yethboth He went apeshit because, despite underlining it three times in his letter to Santa, there was no Action Man in frogman gear under the tree that morning
Arthur Fowler - no crack required.
He couldn't find crunchy nut cornflakes in the morning hence the behaviour
0:14 Inspector Clouseau is that you?
No action man in SAS frogman gear under the tree that morning
Breakdown? This is what i do every week when arsenal drop points!
Ha don’t we all!
he did it twice
Was it this Christmas where Pauline said to shorten Christmas tree and he cut it from top?
That'll be me this year.
Interweb gold
at 0.15 i couldnt breathe was tooooo funny "aaagggggghhhhhhh"
The room needed a clean out
The Rt Honourable Uranus Christ It was running alive with fleas and bed bugs..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He sounds like George from Rainbow on an off day😁
I'm an American so I don't know much about EastEnders but I was wondering, is every Christmas episode so miserable? I've seen many videos of EastEnders and every Christmas, someone has either died or did something else that's rather depressing.
ThorneAstor Pretty much, yes. Did you see when Mick found out scumbag Dean was his brother after Dean raped Linda? He reacted like that. (Mind you, if I discovered Dean was MY brother...)
its always been depressing
most christmasses are more miserable. it's england after all.
Yep it has to be dramatic
Unfortunately yes. It's all part of growing up and being British. The darkness has a thick, sweet attraction that we Brits find difficult to resist.
I was hoping Arthur'd have his breakdown in the middle of the vic. ;*(
It was supposed to have been originally but they were on a tight schedule so never filmed it
Thats the funniest breakdown i've ever seen XD
4 people had breakdowns on christmas day
The first thirty seconds of this video represent how every Brit feels about the UK.
Christmas 1986
What was with Pauline's face at the end
R.i.p bill tretcher
Is it me or does Arthur sound like George from Rainbow?
Okay! Arthur, I know the turkey wasn't up to scratch, but a simple complaint would had sufficed.
Underrated comment haha.
@Darskulgrow up you berk
@@Leeann-rz3ei careful now, or you’ll be joining Arthur in the mental home.
@@craigj.davies1983 will i? Cos my opinion is different to yours?
Yes!@@Leeann-rz3ei
George From rainbow not wearing his suit?
thought it was bit crafty of Michelle. to show she cared about Sharon her best friend family problems n angie.yet at same time see den her best mates dad.
That Arthur Fowler is like a monster when he brakes down
Arthur's first week at a4e.
Pauline realises dirty dens the dad.
At that moment she knew who was the father. You don’t get storylines like these now.
When you realise "its not coming home"
No work no play makes Arthur a dullboy 😂
Why did Arthur go crazy? BTW, did you know the Arthur actor, Bill Treacher, is STILL ALIVE?
Foebane72 He was a crack addict and his dealer didn't turn up 😂😂😜😜😜😜😜😏😏😀😀😀
What was actually wrong with him what caused this breakdown?
He's just seen Rainbow has just finished!!
Surprisingly little set wobble for the era.
Looks like Arthur did several hundred quids worth of improvements to that hovel.
