He was a great villain. One of the best the show ever had.

[@chrisrowe7503]

Number 2 behind Den in my view

[@zaibjameel6609]

Chris Rowe and Johnny Allen

[@yukayukayuii]

Dan Sullivan was the best villain in my eyes Archie was second and Steve Owen was third.

[@ibrahimahmed6739]

Trevor Morgan the most underrated villain straight truth

[@kellywood354]

Den was the best

[@julienowlin5937]

Watching Archie’s actor as a villain is mad as I first seen him on Gavin and Stacy

Archie mitchel is Michael shipmans evil twin confermed, 😂😂😂

[@weespookyme]

My god thanks so much it was driving me mad what else I've seen him in

[@jakenebs]

Iconic era of EE. Probably the last of the best.

[@gezatherton1071]

He’s definitely one of the best villains the show ever had.

[@westminsterwatcher5152]

I remember watching Larry Lamb's portrayal of Archie Mitchell and at the same time watching him as Mick Shipman in Gavin & Stacey and completely being struck by the differences of both characters. He's a brilliant actor - and his character - Archie Mitchell - was one of the best villains in EastEnders history. A cruel and calculating predator- bereft of any semblance of remorse or cognitive ability to even process the true extent and horror of his multitude of crimes. Larry Lamb even based the character on his father - so you can just imagine the difficulties of such a role. Nevertheless - he's a wonderful actor.

[@flight101]

Bit weird watching something years after the other together that had the same actor. Instead of that essay you could have just said he was in Gavin and Stacey later on as Mick Shipman. Too much waffling on n jibber jabber

nicest man you could ever meet. playing one of the worst people on tv

[@callmecharlottex]

Have you met him?

[@AaronAwesome1000]

Dominic Wileman key word to that is accused

[@randmdon]

Dominic Wileman Yh but he wasn’t bullying, he was putting Martin in his place because he was a cocky wee prick

[@garyowens777]

He was absolutely amazing

you can tell jack still loves and cares about Ronnie the way he stare down her useless dad

[@ayeshamalak383]

Archie makes my skin crawl

[@paulyb7267]

He along with Stella are my top 2 most evil villains. Great acting from Larry Lamb!

[@theeastendboy]

Pauly B not Janine?

[@paulyb7267]

@@theeastendboy Janine is also an evil villain, but I have a really hard time watching Stella and Archie at their worse.

[@callmecharlottex]

Archie was a good villain, but let's face it he deserved to die in the end.

[@angelasmithson5291]

Love this clip, the Mitchell's were a good family - entertaining to watch!!

[@shannonxpennywise]

Archie, was one of the best villains in Eastenders.

[@beckydean183]

One of the best actors eastenders has had!

RandomUploads2017 thanks mate

[@kanesnow9110]

One of my favourite eastenders villains

[@mr.realist2395]

What a vile character Archie Mitchell was one of most iconic villains on the show. It would have being interested if we saw a Archie Mitchell vs Den Watts feud in same period because both are similar in many ways.

[@annakaledara8421]

One of the best villains ever.

[@humbugbabyx]

So crazy watching Larry Lamb like this and then as Mick Shipman in Gavin and Stacey 🤣

[@MrEncore91]

Larry Lamb is such a great versatile actor. What a legend.

[@abbieroseholden4174]

His character was twisted but he got extremely well with Peggy, Ronnie, Roxy and Phil In real life.

[@maxiebrostee2805]

Fantastic actor playing a nasty abusive person and then a funny caring dad in gavin and stacey

[@randmdon]

Maxie Brostee I watched him as Mick shipman before Archie Mitchell and it fucked with my head when I first saw him in eastbenders

[@amyclarke41]

He was also in buster 😊

[@spencerreid2086]

Archie well and truly owned Phil in their Feud even Peggy called Phil out on him not being able to get Archie out of their lives.

[@priincebrvce7213]

One of the greatest villains on EastEnders history

[@NoirFan84]

As I've said before, Archie made an absolute mug out of Phil & exposed him worse than anyone. Phil kept threatening to kill him & Archie called his bluff everytime, Phil ended up hitting the bottle, fell out with Peggy because he bottled killing Archie after she specifically asked him to then Archie took the Vic off them & Phil even stood there doing nothing the night Archie kicked them all out after Archie pushed Ronnie over in front of him, then the whole Mitchell clan walked peacefully out of the pub with their tails between their legs. I'm sorry but Phil's "I'm the Walford don" image was seriously damaged during the whole Archie period of the show, Archie made a fool of him. They want to be grateful Stacey killed him because he had the Mitchells beaten tbh. Archie was a great character.

[@JDillon03MUFC]

Grant wouldn’t of let it happen Phil is too soft and doesent have it in him to kill anyone.

[@H.K.5]

@@JDillon03MUFC True, the last person to make a mug out of the Mitchell's when Grant was around was Jason Cox in 1992, and Archie was nowhere near as powerful as Cox.

[@NoirFan84]

@@JDillon03MUFC Archie was a lot lot smarter than all of them. He got inside Sean's head who is probably an even bigger nutter than Grant. Grant has never been put to the test in that way. The show may try to make you believe Grant would do this or that but then will put things in his way to stop him going so far. God knows we've seen enough proof of the show doing that with Phil throughout the years time & time again so why should Grant be any different?

[@andrethomas7075]

In all fairness to Phil, the producers during this period watered him down to the point where the likes of Christian Clark got the better of Phil without serious repercussions.

[@sambrown2322]

Archie was just like Scar, the evil uncle from The Lion King 😂

[@michaelcollins2030]

Only a truly talented actor can make you hate a character this much

[@cheekychap8047]

The best villian in the history of EastEnders

The Classic Mr Mitchell.

[@natalieann6711]

Larry Lamb is such an underrated actor 👏

[@112kman06]

Top class Villain! Up their With Derek Branning!

[@NoirFan84]

Derek Branning? 🤣🤣 That guy was a joke. A character fitting of an Eastenders that was well past it's best by then.

[@acceptableandbornind80s32]

Archie wasn’t a Villian he was just a nasty person he wasn’t like Johnny Alan or Hack Dalton or Angel

[@alfiemoon2516]

A nasty person and villain is the same.

[@fastvalkary725]

​@1977Suspiria I agree Derek didn't do much but he was still awesome to watch.

[@clairechoat4692]

I remember Larry Lamb was in EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey and Silent Witness and New Tricks

After watching each Mitchell member vs the square now we are watching an villain of the Mitchell's. Archie

[@user-sp5pi9pg6x]

He was also brilliant in rise of the footsoldier

[@patrickkennedy6687]

The whole business with Archie should’ve been when Grant returned. I know Archie was his uncle as well as Phil’s. But Grant would’ve made sure he’d killed Archie on Peggys bequest

[@paullinnane4396]

Phil Mitchell is the best actor in eastenders, he's there since 1990, he's a very good actor

This is archie Mitchell's line up

[@mxltirosies1386]

Jack is amazing x ❤️

[@davidmartin9333]

Now it's the final chapter for him

[@wrghty]

What he did to Ronnie was the cruellest, most evilest thing going. What i noticed about him and Ronnie was that he always kept trying to win her over, but when she didn't comply, he would say or do some really cruel stuff as revenge. Now, if Roxy ever said something hurtful to him or not comply, he just let her get away with it. Ronnie knew how to push his buttons and i think only Ronnie could truly hurt him and he hated it

[@footballislife1595]

Great villain Larry done a great job acting the part the one thing I hate what they did with the storyline though was killing Bradley off when he wasn't the killer if wasn't for Archie and what he did to Stacey as Becca calling the police Bradley would be alive I know Charlie wanted to move on but they should have had him leave without Stacey and possibly return in the future bad decision to kill him off

[@sametoyoutoo8509]

Ronnie wouldn't be anywhere near Archie

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Larry Lamb who played Archie is a good actor
