Eastenders 20th On UK Gold
Being watching some of the old episodes on UK Gold this weekend. Still a fan of Eastenders but dont look forward to watching it now as much as I did in those days. Some of those old episodes are absolute classics. What does everyone else think?

Yeh I agree with ye, I still watch the show but back then it was by far the best soap on the box, some fantastic storylines. Its good to relive them all.

After watching the Zoe-Kat one it was Tony Jordan and John Yorke who did it so if they can get EE back to that it will soon be the best on the box again.
And for the people who keep saying Michelle Ryan cannot act they should have watched it she is one of the best in without a doubt. |

I only watched a few eps but what I did see was great. I love it when UKGold shows these old eps, like at Christmas.
Seeing Adam Woodyatt talk to background music of "Celebrate Good Times" was a treat, too. |

I loved watching the old episodes.
It was interesting seeing the first episode, it was fab. Really gritty, very realistic, the dialogue wonderful. It all looked so dowdy, Reg Cox's house was a right state, the walls all crumbeling. I like that aspect as people do actually live in those conditions. Anyway the best episode for me was Carol Jackson and Bianca showdown over Dan. The acting was amazing, who was behind this? I think this was MUCH better than the Kat/Zoe episode. As i watched it was apparent that the show had so many strong female characters and strong characters in general. They were all so fab. |

Matthew Robinson was behind it. I cannot remember which writer it was though Sarah Phelps was talking about it at the beginning. And you are right about the strong women I feel that out of all the soaps Eastenders always gives us the best and most realistic females. |

Some of those classics were excellent - shame there couldn't be more! Some of the episodes they missed were...
Dot & Ethel 2 hander 1987 Lofty & Michelle's Wedding 1986 Eddie Royle Murder 1991 Queen Vic Fire 1992 Arther on Cat & Mouse 1989 Baby Hassan's Cot Death 1985 Hostage at the Queen Vic 1994 VE Day 1995 Isle of Dogs darts trip/Frank meets Pat 1987 EE15 - Bomb Scare 2000 Lou's death 1988 Clacton dance trip 1989 May Day Celebrations 1992 Miss Queen Vic 1992 Ian/Cindy/Wicksy triangle 1990 Arthur's funeral 1996 Andy O Brien get's killed 1986 Den & Angie in Venice 1986 The next EE weekend's on UK Gold should be EastEnders 1985 - 1995 & the following wkend 1995 - 2005 That'd be good - they could show loads more classics.Shame EE Revealed is no longer a weekly magazine programme with Jayne Middlemiss - that used to be really good with interviews/behind the scenes etc - I asked UK Gold if they had plans to show it when they reached 1998 a few years ago but they said no More EE DVD's are needed too me thinks

That'd be good - they could show loads more classics.
