EastEnders - Pete Beale Slaps Ian Beale (17/3/1988)

[@DAN985]

Back when Eastenders was actually worth watching.

[@FiveDORRA]

It was still good untill the late 90s

[@jayradical3515]

It was probably way better when the Mitchell’s wasn’t in it in the mid 1980s

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

Now it's about who killed who.

@@jayradical3515 yea writing felt much fresher

[@samanthab1923]

Look at Pete the trend setter. Flashing Burberry in 88! 😂

[@tomhiggins6542]

Back when EE was a great character based drama rather than a fantasy show with people coming back from the dead and absurd dialogue.

[@FiveDORRA]

Back when people could actually act , and character's had presence and charisma

[@erosion271]

@@FiveDORRA Take your nostalgia goggles off. This is good TV but its insanely dated too. And Pete Beale is hardly a good actor.

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

Low ratings? Say a dead character faked their death or bring back a popular old character.

[@tomhiggins6542]

@@erosion271 still better than todays sorry show. If EE was axed tomorrow, most of the classic characters/clips would come from this period and the 90s. Todays lot would barely get a look in.

[@erosion271]

@@tomhiggins6542 They're classic because they're old. Again. Nostalgia. Mel came back for a year. 90s legend. And it stunk. Meanwhile that very year Keanu and Callum, newer characters, carried the show.

I think about everyone hits Ian 🤣

[@filmsforallnations]

Why did Ian Beale always call his dad ‘Pops’?

[@jaredporikos2197]

Ian deserved it

[@secretsymphony]

Was this the humble beginning of the Beale empire?

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

That probably started way before ww1 with the birth of Lou Beale's Dad!!!

[@estherokere4757]

I feel sorry for Ian he is like a punch bag.
