Dot Cotton receives shocking news from the police about her husband, Charlie Cotton - Mark1.
Loads of legendary characters in this clip and classic stuff from Ethel Skinner. Dot and her were a great double act.
On a side note the actor who plays the policeman in this clip was the son of Tony Caunter who was Roy Evans in EastEnders.

Ethel was such a great character in the early days so sorely missed

You gotta love that she used her best friends husbands death as an excuse to get pissed for free down the pub 😂😂😂

Ethel was my favorite character. In the States, they showed East Enders back in the early 90's on PBS and some cast members made appearances to raise money during membership drives.

pauline is so frank here about Charlie yet has the nerve to criticise Arthur a few episodes later at the funeral for such comments 😂

Ethel and Dot were born old

A lot of that generation seemed like that. I felt the same about my grandparents. Everything about them seemed very old fashioned. But then I think the modern world had arrived so quickly, they couldn’t really - and didn’t want to - keep up with it.

Agreed. Much like the son, who's a hundred times worse. And bless, broken the news by a child police boy.

"I got a new packet in 'ere, I'm sure I have", a little ad-lib from June Brown, not only an ad-lib but a little nod to one of June's real life friends who told June about a new brand of menthol cigarette that had come out (the Berkeley menthol), both swapped from smoking Consolate menthol king size cigarettes to Berkeley menthol super king size menthol.

Yes Dot was brilliant with her smoking and nobody smoked a cigarette like Dot ! Nowadays you cant buy menthol anymore - the powers that be have banned them !

You said that scene took over 2 hours to film !!!! thats terrible when they are both old pros at acting i thought they would have it in the can in 10 mins first take.

@@feeltheforce10 no it didn't take 2 hours, it would have been 10,mins , not even that with June and Gretchen, I never commented on the time, I just commented on June changing her lines as a reference to my partner telling June about a new brand of menthol cigarettes being super king size and cheaper than Consolate menthols, my partner and June were best friends, a friendship that lasted till June's death in April, a total of 37 years. When June went over to Berkeley menthol she added that line "I got a new packet in 'ere, I'm sure I have"

@kyachdistent1301 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's classic. Reminds me of the year before when they started filming Cluedo as a games show, and June Whitfield as the Mrs White character told the audience she was "paranotic" (paranoid) and should the "studio defectives be making such insinuating remarks" against her! Classic.
