EastEnders - Pauline gets a drink poured over her (22/9/1997)

[@itdontmeannothingnotathing3385]

I remember watching this just after I got married I was about 23 and I was absolutely fuming the way they portrayed Irish people. The BBC had so many complaints that they had to issue an apology for the episode they put out

[@lepreconlon5586]

These episodes were meant to air last year on uktv drama when they were showing old episodes from the beginning but they were skipped, but thankfully theyre available online, I think they were skipped because of the controversy they caused like you said

[@itdontmeannothingnotathing3385]

@lepreconlon they should be banned from Ever Seen the Light of Day. They played up to every disrespectful stereotype of Ireland and Irish people😡

[@RobertJones-st3wj]

As an Irishman I dont find this offensive hell the show hardly portrays East Londoners in a positive fashion either does it

[@lukemonaghan95]

Was this actually performed in Ireland p.s that’s were I was born and raised

Can anybody tell me what this is all about ?

[@Johnno9989]

Pauline and her family were on the hunt to find a half-sister of hers in Ireland. Of course they succeeded, but so happens that they came across some bad crowds i.e. that guy who clearly has had too much to drink.
