"This isn't about you being illegitimate, it's about you being a bastard!" 👏👏👏😂

[@napalmslayer]

Roys finest line by a mile

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Isn't that the same thing? Bastard means illegitimate child.

[@napalmslayer]

@@vinaymulukutla358 yeah but when he calls him a bastard what he actually means is that he is a twat.

[@elgee6202]

@@vinaymulukutla358, yes, but that's now how Roy meant it. He meant "bastard" as in "arsehole", "tosser", etc. That's why the wordplay works so well.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

@@elgee6202 Yep. I just found that moment of ambiguity within that scene regarding the word Bastard quite funny and amusing. Obviously they couldn't use anything harsher in terms of expletives than that word.

[@danajyei4605]

The actor that played Nathan would been great as Archie Mitchell's illegitimate son there is a strong resemblance between him and Larry Lamb.

[@bp6329]

you're talking out of your arse.

[@pdmore123]

💯

[@virgilblaze9090]

Very true

[@connorbegley2539]

Too bad the character of Archie Mitchell wasnt created back then, would have been a perfect casting

[@Danathema]

The actor playing Nathan was allegedly sacked for not learning his lines.

[@WillTube1990]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="50">0:50</a> have always loved that moment - "Looking for this?" And when the camera pans round to show all their expressive faces!

[@xc_03]

It’s like Wario and Waluigi fighting

[@ollye4513]

Well done Barry i wish u did more punches like that

[@leejones8582]

The actor who played Nathan was fired for not rehearsing his lines.

That’s a shame because he’s a good actor

[@H.K.5]

Yeah he basically just used and made up his own lines in every scene he was in.

@@leejones8582 So it must be true.

"It's not about you being illegitimate, it's about you being a bastard" Um isn't that the same thing Roy? 🤔🤣

[@ivorharden]

Yeah but one was the political term, the other was derogatory.

[@jazzbollywood]

Yeah it is but I think the context was his actions that led to his demise!

[@prochoicenotantivax119]

well he was a boomer there not known for being educated

[@lukedaley17]

The thumbnail is hilarious 😂

[@tomhiggins6542]

Love how Roy gives him a pound and rounds it up to 5.

[@WillTube1990]

After all of what he had done, I think Roy thought that was all he was merely worth.

[@helenbelither7354]

Classic punch Barry I love and miss him

[@Thecrows_eye]

Why? He was a loser.

[@Thecrows_eye]

How Barry thought it was a good idea to move his wife in with his father and stepmother and make no effort to even buy his own home is beyond me. Ricky was inevitable. Imagine being married and living with your parents AND having to work for your own dad because no one else will employ you.

[@suckyourdeadnan4805]

Abit harsh

[@rojaktar3509]

When Cora Cross actress Ann Mitchell arrived I was certain I recognised her as Nathan's mother

[@ChristopherS9627]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="225">3:45</a> - Roy tells Nathan what he thinks about him

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

Go Barry

[@AS-wj1du]

But actually as bad as Nathan was, maybe he just wanted his dad's love. The way he cried at the end. He did the wrong thing but maybe they could have given him another chance

[@Thecrows_eye]

That’s exactly what it was. And Barry was horrible to Nathan from the start. Even asked Nathan was his dying mother after a quickie with Roy before she died. And excluded him from the family making him very unwelcome. No wonder Nathan disliked Barry. Barry was not a good person.

[@Climinator-op6kh]

​@@Thecrows_eye I've actually been an extra on a stage version of Oliver! when Shaun Williamson was Fagin. He's a really nice guy in real life.

[@joshua775]

I believe the actress who played Nathan Williams' mother went on to play Cora Cross.

[@PeaveyPV20]

Yeah sure did

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

Nathan was jealous of Barry

[@Thecrows_eye]

Nothing to be jealous of Barry for. Look at him.

[@prochoicenotantivax119]

@@Thecrows_eye that a bit shallow he was a good man that what matters it ain't about looks

[@danajyei4605]

@@Thecrows_eye He was Jealous of Barry, Nathan might of had the flash good looks but Barry had what really mattered a father growing up and a family of his own something Nathan never had, David Wicks had the seem secret resentment of Ian Beale not having Pete around when he was growing up this led to him going after Cindy.

[@Thecrows_eye]

@@prochoicenotantivax119 tell that to Janine

Barry should have punched Janine like that up in Scotland.

[@kevinprior3549]

I remember this

[@pete-wv6mu]

Roy wasn't bothered. He paid half of what the asking price was for the car.

[@kevinprior3549]

Pat brilliant in this scene as normal!

Roy evans was brilliant

"Even with a bottle of peroxide and a pair of chandeliers I d still be better looking!" Hehehehe One of the lines I remember from first time round

Omg this is my birthday 🎂 I was 13 this year🤩

[@acceptableandbornind80s32]

Barry got it right that time when he went for him by punching him instead of grabbing nathan like the last time and getting punched in the stomach, good punch that was and not even his hardest that was decent

[@drrecksta7061]

Should have stamped on his head afterwards

[@virgilblaze9090]

Who the hell was singing "There's only one Phil Mitchell" at the end? 😂 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="376">6:16</a>

Probably Billy 'no mates' Mitchell.😂

[@kerryannbradley9952]

Is the guy who plays Nathan the one out of Grange Hill who played Stephen out of series 10

[@JW-th4nn]

Nathan reminds me of a younger version of Archie Mitchell

[@oliprj8676]

It's Mad John from Gangster No1 😂😂

[@chloemarsh612]

Hes in screwed aswell

[@joeritchie7286]

Be under no illusion , this isnt about you being illegitimate its about you being a bahstard

[@prochoicenotantivax119]

So what the point of telling him to leave the money if they let him have a car guessing Nathan didn't get far before the car brokedown

[@prochoicenotantivax119]

There no way Barry could punch like that with his flabby fists

Surely £5 grand I ls the least he could do after being such a bad dad

[@vicvega24]

I bet Nathan was laughing when Roy and Barry died.

[@Thecrows_eye]

I don’t think he would when Roy died. He did genuinely want a relationship with his father. But he definitely would have been happy about Barry being made a fool of and his death. Makes you wonder does Nathan even know.
