They need to make a spin-off series about the Mitchell’s cause this was a real good episode

Wow they certainly picked the right actor to play Phil Mitchell he certainly looks like a young Steve McFadden

EastEnders is back to its best thank you Chris Clensaw for saving this amazing programme. Babs will be smiling in Heaven.

The young Phil did a really good job!!! Excellent casting in general for this episode.

Definitely want a spin-off series of this

The Mitchells from back in the day. Can’t wait to see it.

I feel this is going to be awesome. Hope the episode is great.

I haven’t even watched this episode and I already love it

The best episode ever loved it. The person playing Phil is so spot on has a similar voice to him too

I wish the video was longer. I'm excited !!!

The episodes just perfect and never saw that twist coming at the end EastEnders definitely back in gold form hoping this was just a taste of what's coming in it's future definitely need more flash back episodes how well they went about it

I think if tonights flash back is a success and pulls in the viewers ,they"ll probably make a spin off series, bringing johnny allen, den watts, Claudette, aunt sal etc and others 🤩

Young phill actually looks like Steve mcfadden

Please let this be a pilot for a full series!

Babs is most definitely smiling in heaven 👼🏻

This looks INCREDIBLE, I can’t wait. Amazing to see a shot of the actual script too, I love that sort of thing.

The attention to detail is incredible. I’ve been wanting this for so long.

Now that we've seen the Young Mitchell's, I would love to see the Young Slaters, The Young Pauline, Author & the Fowlers or the Young Slaters. Those would be gold.

Watched this last night, and thought it was BRILLIANT!!! ….all the actors where brilliant but Jamie Winstone was amazing and the actor that plays a young Phil Mitchell was the best, as his phrasing and moments etc where exactly the same as Phil Mitchell/Steve McFadden. As others have mentioned, a spin off series needs to be made from this.

1979 was quite a year for so many folks. Sue Nichols debuted as Audrey on coronation street, in The US Peter Bergman became a 10 Year Tenure as Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children, then he celebrates 35 Years as Jack Abbott #2 on Y & R. Melody thomas scott celebrates 45 Years as Nikki on Y & R. Flowers In The Attic was released as was the paperback version of Mommie Dearest, The Jacksons celebrate 10 Years as a singing group with Destiny, The Unicef Concert is broadcasted and sadly enough so many of the folks who were part of the Concert are dead.

Eastenders need to do more of these so we know dialogue of certain characters backstories

Wish this was a full series

Maybe the best episode ever

brillant episode too good

She could also play Myra Hindley 🤣

I don't wanna go back to the 70's EastEnders ☹️

Fist time in a long time I’m excited about Eastenders

i loved this and wanna see more

All the pieces fitted right! Such a episode.

Looks like Life On Mars TV series has taken over EastEnders!!

*EastEnders: Days of Future Past*

You nailed it EE!👍💯

They should do a flashback episode with The Carters and The Brannings next!!

Great episode

Can't wait for this

You realize how old you are when they say that Max Branning storyline was ‘right the way back’ lol

Nice to see Billy was a plonker even back then, the actor who played young Phil had all his mannerisms, his research payed off.

they were all great

Can’t wait for this,

Think viewers would much rather watch a whole series of this than the modern Eastenders which seems to be well past its glory days

It'll be really interesting seeing young Grant, Phil and Billy.

Old peggy Mitchell reminds me of the mother from Derry girls anyone else get that?

Brilliant idea.

The one who plays younger Glenda looks like Agnetha from ABBA.

They all would fit in to today's cast her especially. She's definitely a Mitchel. And he genuinely looks like Phil. Brilliant cast. Grants actor seems more quiet but that's how grant was and Is.

Loved this, they should do it more often. Brilliant acting

Fantastic,well done,loved it can we have some more?

Looking forward to watching this tonight!

Firework!!

Should definitely do a spin off series

I wonder if we're gonna see Johnny Allen or the Hubbards.

I can’t get over how much Young Phil’s looks like real Phil lol

Young Archie was just as creepy

Windsor would’ve loved this.

We got to see everybody's actor except the one who plays Eric and Billy.

Who’s the actress for younger Peggy? I’m sure I’ve seen her in other stuff

Excellent,honestly what a great episode 👏🏻 👏🏻 Well done to all involved ♥️

I swear this isn't even on BBC iplayer

Maybe Max Bowden should be replaced by Daniel Delaney, Daniel looks like he could be Phil's son more than Max does.

They took neighbours theme tune text

A spin off series would be good but having a soap about it with continuous episodes would be WAAAY too much work for the show. A series with Seasons like Season 1 2 3 ETC and weekly episodes would be good for this.

Whats a Technicolor TV?

Did they really forget she has blue eyes and not brown tho

When does the ep air?

Omg hahaaaaaaa

Phil's father isn't old enough.

Somewhere there's a BBC executive banging the desk screaming - too wh...... Ite!!!!!

I'm sorry but I didn't enjoy this episode. I've been watching for 25 years and I like to watch classic eastenders but I just couldn't get into this.

Young Peggy is so hot 🥵 🔥

Modern EE is 💩. Nevertheless, the flashback episode was good, and I hope there is another.

Come to Jesus Christ don't let entertainment take over your life repent and follow Jesus Christ today heaven and hell is real seek Jesus Christ today while we still can John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Sorry, but this very odd.... pass.

Trust the BBC to mess things up again. I had to laugh at the old TV, nine out of ten houses back in the 70's especially in the east end, could not afford a SONY TV set, they would have a much cheap brand such as Baird. The TV sticks out like a sore thumb.

Bloody awful episode
