Same here. Found mags a bit weird 🙄

Can I have your fax number? Would love to stay in touch! You are so gorgeous, X X

Exactly. A pity it wasn't there for the start of the 80s as by the beginning of the 90s it (while good) was starting to feel tired and unfocused. Lost too many people simply!

@@kyachdistent1301 So agree 85 to 88 were the best years Once Angie Den and other Characters left it sadly never felt quite the same Julia Smith and Tony Holland the creators kept it fresh and gritty. Now it seems they have sacrificed quantity over quality too many episodes which unfortunately a lot of soaps seem to have done twice a week was enough

@@markdavies5933 Smith & Holland did a great thing, unfortunately they put the characters through so much back then (even with just 2 episodes a week) thay they used them up. Rewatching it all from the start just made me sad: 1985 Saeed leaves, 1986 Andy shoved out then in 1987, Debbie, Naima, Tony, Kelvin, Cassie get shoved out, 1988, Angie, Mary, Lofty, Barry, Darren, Dr Sinj and Tom all go and before 1990 has come, Ali, Sue, Guizin , Mehmet,Carmel, Colin, Guido, Matthew, Rod and Donna all leave. They were losing people at a massive rate of knots back then, with not enough to replace them 9not that that's easy anyway) and then the new lot they brought in in 1989 they dump in 1990. And it tripped its way through the 90s as best it could but by the extremely early 2000s, gone! Show dead and best thing for it! There's nothing to do any more, and people should admit that all soaps have a time-frame; keeping the same title is just holding on to the biggest kind of lie. It's not EE and hasn't been since 2003 if that!

Nah the early 90s were the best. Phil and Grant ruled the show! I also liked David Wicks.

@@startracker5895yea early to mid 90s. From 98 to 01 there were too many alpha males. and grant shagging tiffanys mum gianni shagging tiffanys mum. Grant even being with tiffany in the first place was just weak. ian and mel which was insane. All got bedhopping silly before the utterly cringe “gangster” era 03-05 and phil suddenly being 5 stone heavier but meant to be 5x the fighter. There were some high points steve owen was much needed and dan sullivan vs phil and steve vs phil were legendary periods.

Poor Dot.....Always getting accosted by strippers back in the 80's........XD

Love these older episodes there was decent characters and storyline's

Pauline would've given Arthur a taste of the frying pan a lot sooner. And Kathy with Pete........ XD

Yes. It was first released in the early seventies with the different start of Goodbye Norma Jean. I think it was re-released in 1988. It was originally a tribute to Marilyn Monroe but he changed it in 1997 for Princess Diana

It was always depressing.

​@@startracker5895this episode rare, but hilarious 😂 😂

Terry and irene provided some light relief in the late 90s.

She was worse than Lou. Pauline was positively nasty.

@@jhibberd6290 yes definitely i think she could be worse than Lou.

Who cares ...I don’t

@@kailewis6520 who Gives a fuck if you don't) I don't

He popped up once in an episode and I was quite surprised to discover he was actually a young man.

@@WillMeganFanyea quite suave the one he did make a cameo

It's how blokes his age generally talked in them days

Yep and the show was so realistic. Note how even then he was seen and called out for being a dinosaur. Obviously and rightly that content cant be made today but dont ever delete the past. We need to see how far things have come.

Saying you prefer English culture isn't even remotely racist. Tom on the other hand was actually racist but it's sheer ignorance more than anything.

Don’t live here then if you don’t wanna live in the ways of OUR society
