This has to be one of my favourite eastenders episodes of all time.

[@cartermd457]

Definitely one of the most memorable and exciting that’s for sure!

[@purpleglitterladette]

Same it was absolutely iconic

[@EgoChip]

I can't believe this is 21 years old. I feel so old. I remember this like it was yesterday, it's terrifying how fast time has gone.

[@England7-ei1op]

I know! Gone so quickly 😢. I hate that time has passed by from them good eastenders days:

[@caseyfalconer7347]

Phil’s got more indestructible than his Nokia 3310

[@sweetiek453]

I once invited Steve to.our school as a suprise for one of my teachers he came aswell never got to meet him though the teachers closed the curtains to the staff room 😂

[@TheRealElsaJean]

Utter bollox

[@Gizo02]

I don't hate Phil as a character at all, but in recent years (or fact since Steve McFadden's return from his break in 2005), I've hated the fact that he has always had to win every feud. In fact numerous other promising male characters have been ruined by the writers, with them crossing swords with Phil and inevitably coming off second best. I wonder if it's actually written into Steve McFadden's contract that his character has to win every feud these days. At least during this period in the early 00s, he had wins and losses which was much better and more interesting.

[@Pubhooligan74]

That’s true tbh. They’d should try and bring back Dan Sullivan so he can have his proper revenge on Phil for framing him

[@samevans7721]

Yeah

[@matthill3293]

Almost every feud...Apart from this one. But it's the reason why today they've shy'd away from giving Phil and Mick a feud despite their dislike for one another - Because one of them would have to lose.

[@Petrolosis]

Phil has some serious plot armour

[@gemstar7286]

This was the best EE storyline hands down, at the time i taped it and watched it about 5 times as i laughed. I found it hilarious & brilliant how Den &Dennis worked together to frame Phil in this clever plan.

[@adamknight7041]

Cannot believe this was almost 18 years ago 😳😲

[@ClassicEnders1985]

Never trust an East End Veteran, Phil Mitchell. Next time you should watch out.

[@lightning655]

It was is hard to believe Phil would be stupid enough to trust den he would have had some form of backup plan

[@HSD.]

I noticed in the 18 and a half years since the armed robbery it was mentioned never since Phil came out of prison and the only time it was mentioned was when Ben told Jay about it in 2007

[@jakebiomask]

Fucking hell Den proper did Phil over here, absolutely destroyed him. Only person to ever win against Phil

[@ethanskys857]

Dan Sullivan fucked phil over good as well and got away with it

[@GinolasSon]

Him and Dan Sullivan yeah

Great drama ❤

Den and Phil Two Badasses Rivalry

[@MarusASMR]

Den really had Phil wrapped round his little finger here. All the way through he’s playing mind games. Tricking Phil into coming without having an alibi set up, out of desperation. Running the red light. The contact being late. Putting the wrong code in. All of it to wind Phil so tight that he isn’t thinking straight and doesn’t see the betrayal coming. Don’t cross Den Watts.

[@jakebiomask]

And he let Phil climb halfway up the ladders before telling him he dropped the keys lol, a nice subtle little thing he did so that Phil wouldn't be thinking "this is a set up"

[@no1arab502]

Best thing they did was bring Den back

[@EgoChip]

@@no1arab502 This was peak EastEnders. It went downhill after Den was killed off for real, and I haven't seen it for over a decade. I couldn't even tell you who is in it now, although I expect Ian Beale and Phil Mitchell are both still in it. They will be in it until they die or the BBC cancels it.

[@lksklsklsklskl]

phil had this coming! he was so vile in 2002-2003. i even find it more satisfying than the 2001 shooting.

[@poshpetals6551]

Yes, after he slapped Sharon, I couldn't wait for his comeuppance.

[@erinpenfold2626]

Every bank deserves to be robbed

[@liamf7838]

lmfao when phil goes mad at lisa 5:20 good days of eastenders

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Love the sodium amber street lamps.

[@warwickbull5559]

I don't think this set up would have worked, if Grant was there.

[@jakebiomask]

Grant would have ran through the wall like Juggernaut lol

[@grecosgreecedaz6026]

It was brilliant then sad see decline show now 😢

[@gemstar7286]

This was one of Den's strongest funniest moment's in EE history, it's ashame after this his character went downhill with the whole Zoe mess. But i like to remember him like this .

[@stephaniemonteilh3240]

That was awesome!

[@misscookiesubliminal7914]

Can you upload 8 Nov 2004 plz

[@wesleywyndam-pryce4081]

quality episode

[@ski8615]

Always thought this plot line had massive holes init but o well suspense disbelief n all dat 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gemstar7286]

It was the best EE plot ever , seeing Phil get set up and his reaction was the icing on the cake.

[@lowkey621]

Phil could have just threatened to grass if he doesn’t let the ladder down, could easily have made a deal as the police already know about the 2 Denis’s criminal background- would have had to let him out

[@no1arab502]

But Den knew Phil would never grass honour between thieves and all that 😂😂

[@GinolasSon]

@@no1arab502 Phil doesn’t grass yet he did grass the Watts up the police twice in the previous month or so (when he lets them know Den is back in town and then when he plants drugs at the club)
