This is the first time, im sure he uttered that legendary quote... "I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT!"

[@1875HIBEESFC]

Ian’s a great persuader. One minute, Laura & Mark want nothing to do with him, next they’re trying to help him!

[@arserobinson7118]

Only Ian could make going bankrupt hilarious

[@williamrandle4589]

He's got nothing left!

[@cherylstevens4717]

@UKSKIDS Now was kathy away on holiday or had she died?

[@cherylstevens4717]

@Imz Geeze louise

[@stemple11100]

Quite possibly Ian’s worst day on the square ever, on the same day got throttled by mark, punched by Charlie, absolutely humiliated by Phil and went bankrupt 😂

The gnat man... (He exterminates pesky gnats and he's branching out into other flies too he just needs £13k for the training and equipment)

I loved this episode. Classic Beale!

Eastenders was good?? 😂😂😂

[@kentcyclist]

Hahahah

[@user-vp6cq4sv3d]

@Nathan McCabe You're everywhere you no life.

[@jaggass]

The Jaguar XK8 was worth more than 13K shame he couldn't sell that within half an hour.

[@laminage]

Jeez Louise! Ian always has a Woman that "Leaves" him. Mel, Cindy, Jane & Laura. Someone should have said to Ian "Less Is More". A Regular Car is as good as a Sportscar. My Car is a Toyota Yaris and it works like a charm. Someone should do Video to "Tell Laura I Love Her" by Ray Petersen.

[@jaggass]

[@annihilator45]

No one deserves this more than Ian! What a cretin!

[@TheDEATHSTARIII]

Phil deserved it more

[@alfiemoon2516]

Phil got shot months later

4:38 13 grand

[@ritadepeeves]

Brilliant Episode!

[@jamiepoems]

Mark says he is skint yet later he leaves a will lol

[@wiggyp1v255]

that Jaguar was worth more way more than 13k at the time and Roy's dealership is literally metres away from his house lol... turns out he tried and they said no lol they're just as stupid as Ian

[@emmettbyrne9835]

Funny how Ian Beale always thought he was better than everyone else but still lived in the same street as rest of them

[@ldphoenix3]

Emmett Byrne he’s deluded that’s whyyy haha

[@laminage]

Yes, like Nick Tilsey on Coronation Street. Still after 15 Years at that time, he still didn't remember what his Grandmother told him about Money.

[@chrisdawson6156]

Hannah Waterman looked far better with long hair when she had it cut short she didn't look right in my opinion

[@alfiemoon2516]

Probably one of the best storylines I reckon. Just seeing Ian going around begging for money and people attacking him.

[@SuperOldShows]

Ah I remember watching this all those years ago. Ian is such a little c-.

[@mitchellwinch2852]

That’s just lazy getting a taxi to the train

[@simondelaney6483]

Yes and they always complain they have no money.

[@-moondust-]

But she's taking all her stuff, so of instead of dragging all of her bags across the square she gets a cab. And tbh it wouldn't cost alot.

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

You carry around all your stuff and then say that lol

[@laminage]

Was the eldest Son ever on Emmerdale. He looks like Robert Sugden.

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

Extended EastEnders program Why don't the BBC change another day and time Tuesdays at 9:45pm Wednesdays at 9:45pm and Fridays double bills and extend the running time but up to 42 minutes instead of Mondays at 8:pm and Tuesdays at 8:35pm and also Thursdays at 8:35pm for the TV programme drama called EastEnders for all time?

[@zaramariadixon39]

Couldn't have happened to a better bloke!!! But typical Beale he resorts to emotional blackmail WHAT A "MAN"

[@user-vp6cq4sv3d]

So you want men to be psychos GOT IT

[@TheBC313]

He shoulda called Mario Lopez that ninja is rolling in dough

[@jenparry718]

And he threw Laura away too. Just like everything else. I know he was Pete and Cathy's but he never got either of their dna.

[@sarahhugo8069]

Did Ian Beale actually become homeless when this happened? Did he continue having any businesses on the square after this? It was so long ago, I can’t remember how he got back onto his feet. How many businesses did he loose when this happened? I remember he didn’t raise £13,000 on time for this bankruptcy hearing. 🤔

[@moodydude6790]

How long was David Bowie in Eastenders for?

[@thebarkaysfan1100]

What???

[@ayngaranthamo9633]

Back den eastenders was good until 2011

[@alexanderjones9572]

So Ian originally needed 13 grand, he knows Laura’s getting 3 grand out for him, so when Mark arrives he actually only needs ten grand, but still tells Mark he needs 13. Still conning people.

[@serenityfox8546]

It that were a real taxi driver around here he'd of either fed off with her stuff , chucked it out on the street or told her to screw off when she said wait two minutes or charged her for the waiting time lol XD gosh was Ian always a slim bag because he still is to this day lol XD

[@MetalMike38]

I remember seeing this back in the day, id forgotten Laura was in the show in this storyline.

[@crazygazz]

He did have a nice car though

[@syteanric1868]

Mark was a great character! The show is dogshit now

[@24s..]

0:59 IAN VS MO

[@laminage]

Ian was right. Big Mo should mind her own business. After all, look at The Slaters, they can't do anything by the Book, Alfie & Kat are living proof of that. You're stressed out, you're one step away from being Homeless you're not going to be in a happy slappy mood.

[@Glamking1]

Well be nearing to this November 2000 episode at around when drama gets to it in 2023? As for 2022 ITV3s classic coronation street will get there first to get repeated. I’d already knew that UKTV gold started showing these repeats way back at the end of 2004 for the 2000 episodes in where the year when Ethel skinner died and the slater siblings arrived We’d near the 90s EE episodes this summer with the Mitchell’s arrival in February 1990 in which they’d introduced the Mitchell brothers and Samantha later followed in the summer. We reached 1988 today at 1.40pm and then later 1989 by late April and thats the 80s lot done by when mid June approaches.
