Peggy's line and the only time an impression worked was Jean and when Ronnie was impersonating Peggy and Pat to cheer Roxy up (I think it was said then.)
We have a dramatic, emotional, dark week ,culminating in a murderer reveal.
A light hearted, jokey scene that contains a nod to the past is fine by me.
I love Mick and I love Peggy but the whole scene just did not click for me, in real time I didn't believe that Mick would kick somebody out like that and when I look back on it it could have been delivered better. It's not the end of the world though, nice nod to Peggys past on the square
I thought it was played perfectly. Mick wasnt serious. In Mick/Danny's mind it was "who's this cheeky little sort comng in here giving it the large, go on sling your hook"- rather than Mick actually being angry or offended at the criticism. It seemed Peggy got this vibe too.
Some bat comes in wont spend any dosh just make nasty comments..lets not forget the Vic was a damp lemon when the Carters bought it..no wonder she didnt identify herself..her exit may have been more vertical
The scripting and delivery was terrible but it was worth it for the "Get out of my pub" line as that really made me laugh. I don't see it as an opportunity to jump on Danny Dyer or Barbara Windsor as it was a moment to step out of the unfolding storyline and raise a smile at Peggy's classic line. Loved it.
Danny Dyer is a truly bad actor, a shame because in real life he's quite likeable (other than overtrying the laddishness) that line was badly delivered and the writing infantile.
It would have been even funnier if Alfie had joined the fray too, with 'no, both of you can get out of MY pub' and then they all have a massive punch-up!
I think he was very nervous having to deliver that iconic phrase. And it showed on Babs face, she thought it funny as well. Wonder how he will react when he realises it is Phils mum. That scene will be classic.
The whole scene was cringeworthy. I usually love Danny Dyer but this was awful. Also the comment about the pump sticking was a bad mistake after the fire I agree. It was just two actors having fun and it didn't fit with the rest of the episode. I can't stand hammy acting. That scene should have been cut.

I really enjoyed it.

Also, it looked like Peggy was trying not to laugh as she walked away, so wondered if that was an error too.
No it wasn't live.
Exactly
Felt more like a send up.
It was friendly joshing
Pmsl!:-D:-D:-D
:-D:-D:-D:p

and why were to doors open? if you are closed for a private function the doors would be locked - surely
painful and cringeworthy scene IMO
lol exactly, some people on here take things in EE way to seriously.
And Alfie got accidentally killed
I thought exactly the same the way they were both smirking was a bit surreal considering it was pre - recorded.
Funny though from the radio and people I have spoke to today this is the scene that keeps cropping up
Mick would never talk to someone like that, but Peggy would also not allow anyone to talk to her like that
It was cringey
The delivery from both actors atrocious as well.
