Lou Beale's Death And Funeral- Part 1

Copyright BBC

[@dominewimbury2039]

Aww. The bit where Dot suddenly notices she's wearing a now dead friend's cardigan is pretty comical in a sad way

[@pinkshaz197]

Who's still watching in 2020 . EastEnders at it best . It needs to go back to how it used to be .

[@angelapay3718]

£1.60 for 20 B&H those were the days!

[@carolinehale200]

67 pence for 10 red band i was 14 get them on tab and pay on a friday with my pocket money lol those really were the days

[@fender1000100]

Dont smoke to start with

[@Suelovesboo]

In the early 90’s I had £2 quid school dinner money I use to buy 10 B&H sell 5 keep 5 for me earn enough to still buy my dinner and still saved enough to pay for a perm at the hair dressers lol

[@Hulk2k6]

It is scary to think how many of these characters are now 6ft under! (Pete, Kathy, Arthur, Pauline, Frank, Pat, Den, etc)

[@emmabryant6813]

Hulk2k6 Kathy is back

[@VictoryRRR]

@Dan Beaumont Like most the current cast do. We've seen Alfie, Mel and Ray all come back from the dead in under two weeks lol.

[@Hulk2k6]

@Dan Beaumont TBF, Everyone assumed she was at the time and I did write that in 2011/12

I was only 6 at the time, but I cried like crazy when I watched this episode.

[@katief2993]

That episode was like 11 years before I was born.

[@mirtom82]

Nothing was ever same without old battleaxe. She was heart and soul of this show for three years.

[@VictoryRRR]

I was a baby when this happened.

[@carolinemccormack7764]

I would have been 6 as well, I remember this like it was yesterday

[@jdmitchell2]

Strange seeing Ian so young

[@pics8619]

Shame Pete left, these were the good old days of when I watched eastenders.

[@life_seeker6102]

pics he died didn’t he?

[@gazzyb1079]

A lot of people seem to dislike Pete, I for one love him as a character

[@brittpaget1010]

He got sacked had to leave

[@kevinprior3549]

Peter Sne died

[@dazauto1400]

The Pete Beale character was real old school East End. Sad day when he left. He was a quality actor. A guy who plays The Style Council is all good in my book.

[@dlk1dlk1]

I think Angie and Lou became outmoded characters in Thatcher's Britain. They both left in the same year: 1988.

[@evanmcmanus2112]

8:19 - “Do you think Mr. Hopdidoodah will mind if I close up”? Haha

[@lifeslight980]

9.05 When dot realised she was wearing Lou's cardigan 😂😂😂

[@Johnno9989]

Very well scripted this episode; silence at first, then Paul announces that Lou's gone. I'm also emotional seeing Ian, Paul and Dot in tears. (1:04) By the way, what was the device Ian pulled from Simon's sleeping bag?

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

Nothing. He tugged at the sleeping bag to get Wicksy up.

[@jamesanderson8851]

Kathy is still with us returned after all thise years

[@mustafakarwa4881]

Dot sounds so different. Her voice is much higher then it is now

[@rikbaskie3244]

Smoking!

[@happyears21694]

Same with Pauline. She had a high-pitched voice back then. In the 90's, She had a lower voice.

RIP Anna Wing.

[@joemontco]

Don't you dare criticize Pat! Miss St. Clement was always dressed with style earlier on in the role.

[@SeeYouEnTee666]

She was horrible even then. Trashy and cheap.

[@kevinprior3549]

Keep forgetting Fowlers had well decorated & fluffy tea pots. And Kathy looks amazing as normal.

[@tclted2656]

They should have shown the clip where she dies. Or should I say when she dies. Lou beale was a legend. Family meetings. Her way or the high way. The granny love. All seemed to be realistic. She should have stayed to see the 10th anniversary. Surely she was still alive.

[@Blubatt]

The actress died 2 years ago, actually.

[@tclted2656]

Ben Attwood 10th anniversary happened in 95. I was referring her death as lou beale. Not anna wing. She died recently just after wendy richards

[@antoniabrock8660]

[@JayJay-nc7pr]

I always wished that Lou did stay in the 90s, especially her meeting Peggy, two formidable matriarchs

[@austinpearce5442]

Jay Jay imagine the fights

[@dominewimbury9644]

She would have been 78 then, the vicar said in the next clip she was born in 1910 and this was 1988

[@dominewimbury9120]

Assad Elfarouki I know that! Ain't thick

[@Loverboy19691]

When Eastenders was good, then came the 90's.

[@Hulk2k6]

The 90s were a great period for the show. Things took off when they when they got that magical third episode ala Corrie and Brookside.

[@szqsk8]

Andrew Dexter I was watching this show in the 1980s/1990s here in the US on the PBS channel (Public Broadcasting). Same channel I saw Black Adder, Waiting for God, Fawlty Towers and Are You Being Served?.loved them all.

[@fender1000100]

As soon as those two peanut heads the Mitchell brothers hit the square it started to go downhill.

[@kyachdistent1301]

@@Hulk2k6 No, that was a mistake. It left them with too much time to fill, not least because so many characters had left before 1990 arrived. The 90s was really good, but faltered by 1997-as soon as they discovered killing off characters was a 'brill' idea, it went into dumb overdrive. By 2002, the show was pretty much died. 1985-1989 though can't be bettered. Barely any of the 80s characters made it to the 90s. This was a massive harm, but still the new 90s characters were good too. But then the 90s ended!

[@JayJay-nc7pr]

1985-89 was the shows best era not to be beaten! 1990 & 1991 were still good 1992 onwards was up and down, too Mitchell centric, by 2000-06 was electric! But EE had died completely by 2007

[@bunglebonce]

Arthur was secretly happy. Does anyone remember when he spray painted "Lou Beale RIP - thank god" on the wall of the brothel owned by Frank Butcher?

[@TinaLouise73]

No phones no internet and good old fashioned life how it was is how it shud stil be but this is 2024 and this way of life is unfortunately no more 😐

Arthur struggled to cope with emotion. Stiff upper lip. Pauline really needed a cuddle.

Not sure how Susan Tully ever left Eastenders.
