I wish they hadn't killed Pete Beale off, he could have made the programme so good, imagine him now with Kathy, and Pat when she was alive, plus his grandkids!!
Pete Beale was a proper blokes bloke. What makes the characters so good in the early Eastenders was that if you come from an inner city in the UK or Ireland you know people exactly like the characters portrayed in the show.
This was when East Enders was good now its just a fucking pantomime , believable acting well written and the actors were not cast for their looks but for their ability.
Agreed. It's nice to see soaps they way they were back then, proper, well-written character-based storylines and how characters cope with their predicaments which IMO is far more enjoyable than endless explosions and murders!
3:20 Had to laugh at this doof-doof with "That's Paul Hogan!" With Arthur's drunken reaction 😂😂😂

And great grandkids
Me too - I loved Pete too. I've always missed him. If he was around Ian would be a better/tougher person.

I miss the gritty realism.

Arthur walks in tripping on LSD unable to comprehend the seriousness of the situation.
Kenny was real handsome and a big bloke
