Angie was an emotional wreck. As complex as they come. It always makes me despair when people compare Linda to Angie as they are nothing alike.

That was brilliant. They were soap gold.

That would be great! they could show a different classic episode every Sunday.
If this has done well in the ratings maybe they will consider it.
They had such good chemistry. Any one also think the set looks a lot more realistic and gritty compared to the set today which is quite glossy sometimes?

It's no wonder Den and Angie were doomed. Every time they tried to talk about their marriage Gavin was there with his shammy and bucket.

I'm surprised how bleak and brown it all looks.
Fantastic acting and a briliant episode. Unfortunetly it just highlights how poor the show and its actors are these days. Will we be talking about Martin and his stolen toilets in 30 years time ?
What a waste to kill Angie offscreen. What a waste the way Dens comeback ended. Its a case of what could have been.

I think The Vic looked very much as working class pubs did in the 80s. Julia Smiths attention to detail was second to none though so its no surprise really.

Thats the east end in the 80's. Bleak.
Really enjoyable be great if they could stick classic EastEnders on BBC Four every week!
The realism and grit of the show compared to now was very noticeable

I agree. Can you imagine them as Phil's mother and father in law?
