Best era of eastenders by a long way , the Mitchell's and Rickman days were classic and I don't believe we will ever see this again now it's all gone soft
I think the plan all along was to have the Mitchell Brothers vs Den & Dennis storyline, but becuase of Leslie Grantham's controversy they went another direction and killed Den off, i bet the writers were just gagging to finally have Den Watts and Grant Mitchell finally meet on screen but they couldn't which is a shame, we'll never see it now.
It's because den knew Eric in the back story and they were gonna reveal that when den and Peggy had screen time but it would off caused too much screen time allegedly den and Peggy had an affair in the 60s
Darskul No he wasn't...Dennis did talk back to grant. When grant held Dennis he said "get your hands off me" and grant did. Dennis is not scared. Dennis is fast and grant is stronger.
I wish Grant returned before Den died, it would have been great to see a war between Phil and Grant vs. Dennis and Den, it was a bit early for Den to die anway.
"I don't want to have to hurt you" "Well that's hardly likely is it?" Proper hardman response. Phil would never come up with a line so hard and solid like that.
I dunno... I think Phil Vs Johnny was brilliant! When Johnny said "I've got him right there 👌" about Grant and Phil's response was one of the best lines ever "well you can't 'av cos he's a lot bigger than that" 😂😂😂
i remember when dennis first arrived and there was much ambiguity over who was stronger out of him and phil. i remember thinking "dennis would probably win against phil eventually, but grant would beat the crap out of dennis" never thought we'd actually see that happen
Grant was one of my favourite characters in eastenders he reminded me of wolf in gladiators he could be hard and tough but had a soft nice side if people respect him he had respect for them but people don't want to get on the wrong side of him
The only person in the whole of Eastenders that he would never lay a hand on was Nigel funny enough he put his brother in a coma he slapped his mum hit his wife yet it was always Nigel that he would never bring any harm too there was just something about him that made him special I guess
It’s interesting how Grant’s return mirrored Den’s in some ways. The “hello mum” as the first line which was similar to Den’s “hello princess”. Grant breaking into the Queen Vic at night, going behind the bar and acknowledging the Queen Vic bust on the bar which is what Den also did. Having Den and Grant meet would have made this Eastenders storyline amazing.
Love when Dennis tries getting between the Bros and says "No hang on a minute, Billy, I think Phil & Grant have some talking to do" Phil to Grant: 'Av we? Grant: Let's go home 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s kinda weird how in recent years Grant and Phils roles have almost reversed in a way. In the 90’s it was always Grant who was quick to temper and quick to throw his fists and react violently, with Phil being more reserved. But in recent times now it seems like Phil is the one is the one whose quicker to throw his fists, with Grant being the more calm and level headed one.
Johnny (very dangerous retired gangster): desperate to find a way to beat the Mitchells, any way he can. Dennis (the one guy who may stand half a chance against Grant in a fight): hi Johnny, hear you’re having some trouble. Let’s team up! You be the brains, I’ll be the brawn! Together, we’ll be unstoppable! Johnny: Fantastic idea Dennis! But why don’t you skulk around and try and make them fall out with each other instead? Dennis: But wouldn’t it be better if you made some calls, got me some help, and we kick them into next week? I mean, I’m a fighter, not a master manipulator! Johnny: No, no, play mind games with them Dennis. That’s sure to work.
the fact at the end johnny alan and den are asking each other to split grants head says they knew theyd never be able to do it..........Grant Mitchell is the only EE hardman who never hesitates to fight anyone....Den would only fight in self defence vs Grant...Grant fights anyone without ever backing down lol
Frank was Grants dads age when he wanted to fight lol Grant was about 26/27 and frank about 55....Grant evens says to him " frank your 20 years to old and 20 ilbs over weight "
@@kevshearer3245 Grant would've beaten Dan's ass. To be fair I also think Phil could've beaten Dan back then as well, Dan outmuscled him but Phil got the upper hand in every other unarmed confrontation. Hell twice Dan had gotten thrown by Phil like he was nothing. Even when Dan was pointing at Phil with the gun, he was taunting him, meanwhile Dan we pleading for his life like a little baby, Phil was the hardman there.
@@Darskul How you interpret things is very weird. There was no other unarmed confrontation barring Phil pushing Dan against the wall when Dan had his guard down. Phil literally was the initial aggressor in the confrontation where Dan unmuscled him & he still got pinned. How come big bad Phil who has no problem hitting & bullying anyone else when they get in his face never did it with Dan even with all Dan's threats? Because Phil never had the same confidence he could beat Dan that's why & he was right too, Dan was considerably bigger, fitter & more powerful than Phil. Only in the land of fairies & make believe does a guy the size of Dan lose to a short tubster like Phil. LOL. And Dan's cries for help were for Mel to create a distraction which worked perfectly & allowed Dan to regain the upperhand, sparking Phil out with ease.
I love how Jake seriously deludes himself into thinking he can take Phil on here, obviously he's doing it to save face in front of chrissie - he's pretty lucky phil didnt punch him, he would fall down straight away.
this is the classic era of eastenders...i stopped watching it around 10 years as i consider the soap is now going down the pan...old enders is always worth watching.
Grant has changed alot in 2016. He's a lot wiser now and not a loose cannon as was during the 90s. He can't fight any more. What he did to Ian was nothing.
They need to make Jay and Ben into the new version of Phil & Grant but BBC producers too scared of doing hardcore gripping storylines due to people making complaints to offcom.
I knew Dennis was gonna be in trouble the minute grant came back. I was overjoyed when he picked Dennis up and drove him down into that piano, grant is way harder than Dennis, and much stronger.
@@intenseninja82 I doubt it, Sean was way stronger than Dennis physically and could punch just as hard. It would be a good fight but I’d put my money on Slater Sean.
@@H.K.5 No he wasn't Dennis Rickman will always be famous for knocking out the then hardman Phil Mitchell when he first arrived. Phil once knocked Sean out in the vic and never retaliated. My money would of been on Dennis if those two met.
Yep but if was the other way around Grant would be straight up from the piano bashing. In this case Dennis wasn't straight back up. So I give the edge to Grant in a fight at that moment in time.
I think Phil being framed by Den for armed robbery and getting put in jail for it could have provided a perfect opportunity for Grant to return, I would have loved to see Grant attempt to get Phil released for that and then the Mitchell brothers together having a fued with Dennis and Den. If Grant returned when Chrissie framed Sam for Den's murder, why wasn't Grant there for his brother when Den framed him (I'm not sure if he still resented Phil for his affair with Sharon).
Damn, i miss these days, now enders is gone all lame even tho i still watch it. The mitchells were great before, we had, dennis, johnny, andy, nick. Who we got now? derek? lol
This was when Eastenders was Eastenders absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely 💯 agree
It's coming back to this near episode on UKTV drama
I stopped watching after this, it just lost the excitement for me
Indeed. Now. Its complete rubbish
@@geraldineangelamurray3001 yes indeed ..more like East india company now .. .
Best era of eastenders by a long way , the Mitchell's and Rickman days were classic and I don't believe we will ever see this again now it's all gone soft
Andy Hunter, Terry Bates, Jase Dyer, Steve Owen, Dan Sullivan, Den, Dennis and the legend Phil Mitchell making Eastenders fun to watch
@BlueBoy 1 same era bro
Hard to believe this is nearly 20 years ago, nothing like it since
@@ThePrinceOrtmayerjack dalton was a good villain he wasnt there for long
Dennis Rickman ❤️
"I don't wanna hurt you"
"Well that's hardly likely, is it?"
LOL, the good old bygone days of Eastenders.
Shocking old grant dont wait for the challenge just steams in.
1999 to 2006 was the gangster era in Eastenders.
Without a doubt, the best years in Eastenders.
Gaming 1776 ye I agree 2005 is the best
Gaming 1776 ye I agree
1997 was the funniest year ever, mostly due to Phil's alcoholism and the affair with Grant and Tiffany with the Wicks being introduced.
Loyalist John ye I agree to
The Mitchell brothers were great. It was a shame to see Grant leave in 2006. Phil just isn't the same without Grant!
watching grant kick the shit out of someone is a thing a beauty
Grant: Come to think of it, she killed your old man aswell or doesn't that bother you either?
Phil: SHARON!! SHARON!!!!
Grant: SHARON!!
LOL
I'll be buried in that leather jacket
Damn right 👍🏼

Well that's ardly likely is it?

It was a absolute travesty that it didn't happen.
@@foreverred105 Yep so much potential and drama with Den finally having screen time with Peggy & Grant wasted.
It's because den knew Eric in the back story and they were gonna reveal that when den and Peggy had screen time but it would off caused too much screen time allegedly den and Peggy had an affair in the 60s
This is what I loved about Dennis, even though Grant would easily beat him to a pulp, Dennis was never scared or backed down.
I disagree, Dennis was scared of Grant, whenever Grant raised his voice Dennis was visibly shaken.
Darskul No he wasn't...Dennis did talk back to grant. When grant held Dennis he said "get your hands off me" and grant did. Dennis is not scared. Dennis is fast and grant is stronger.
@@Darskul Dennis wasn't scared of Grant, he was just wary of him. He knew Grant was the real deal.
@@aaww8663 If that were Phil he would've punched him without hesitation.
Don't forget Dennis killed Jack Dalton so he knows he can go all the way .
I wish Grant returned before Den died, it would have been great to see a war between Phil and Grant vs. Dennis and Den, it was a bit early for Den to die anway.
"I don't want to have to hurt you"

Nick berry sings on eastenders
Stan Hubbard your standards are low, that’s not a good line that’s just average
Phil couldn't think to save his life.
Dennis and Sharon were so good together.
"I don't want to have to hurt you"
"Well that's hardly likely is it"
:D One of the best EE lines ever
Really. Its cheesy and ross kemp was just dialling in a performance at this point. Best line ever goes to kat and zoe you aint maaa muvvaaa……
Would’ve loved to see Den watts Vs Grant Mitchell! It’s a shame they never got to face off
i remember when dennis first arrived and there was much ambiguity over who was stronger out of him and phil. i remember thinking "dennis would probably win against phil eventually, but grant would beat the crap out of dennis" never thought we'd actually see that happen
I like that episode is been a long time and i never miss it as long as i can see it on UA-cam thanks mate and keep up the good work 👍

Grant was tough, but let's be honest he would have got his arse handed to him if he'd ever fought Tamwar Masood.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Dan would have mopped the floor with Grant

well done grant for putting dennis in his place that was the turning point for dennis he came to his senses
They should reshow the episodes from 2002-2006 on UK Gold.
They wont as the UK is a woke farce.
Love when Dennis tries getting between the Bros and says
"No hang on a minute, Billy, I think Phil & Grant have some talking to do"
Phil to Grant: 'Av we?
Grant: Let's go home
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Phil came back with the ultimate comment to put Dennis in his place.
Even low grant's a head case he is my all time favourite character on east enders.
There's a lot more headcases worse than grant look at the murderer they have now total nutter lucas was a nutter janine isn't all there either
0:09 Grant could've been in the game Final Fight, with how decisively he kicked doors down!
the noise in the background when Dennis hit the floor it sounded like a piano noise 😂😂😂
That's because Grant slammed him against a piano, haha.
Good old days of Eastenders 90s to early 00’s.
It’s kinda weird how in recent years Grant and Phils roles have almost reversed in a way.

Grants style is unique best character in eastenders
Best EE storylines ever. 😃💝

Dennis " Sharon, get out of here", he instantly knew how big of a threat grant is lol.
Love it when Dennis said stay away from my wife sounds so protective xx
Herondales Angel gaaay
@Bobby Dukes Sharon is not his sister. Sharon is not Den Watt's real child while Dennis is.
Other way round. Sharon IS his real daughter as he raised her. He was a sperm donor to Dennis.
phill and grant are like the legion of doom! ha ha
Haha yeah without the make up
After watching that episode of Ross Kemp in Extras..I still can’t listen to Grant without that Bungle voice from Rainbow in my head lol!!
2005 :) I love the bit where dennis goes I don't wanna hurt you! then grant goes thats hardly likely is it!
Dennis wasn't really scared of Grant at first, he was just wary.
8:46 that gay little fist roll from Grant is hilarious!
Dennis…”out”…Sharon..”Dennis”
Sharon quickly realising Grant was already get wound up and anymore out of Dennis would’ve set him off 😂
"Make me"... ultimate Mitchell catchphrase
Was worth a watch back then
Minty, ' I don't know I'm just glad its contained' lol love this eastenders era what the hell has happened to the show now?

Dennis wasn’t scared of Grant. He could definitely batter Phil
You can tell it wasn’t genuine, Dennis lost his confidence whenever he was around Grant.

Alright well here we are "THE DREAM TEAM" lmao
is the video on youtube i would love to see it again
Grant in 2005/6 was much calmer than 2016 when he knocked out Ian Beale
Grant in 2016 was going through alot of stress, not to mention he only just found out Mark was his son. In 2005-06, he was a joyful guy.

i wish eastenders was like this now, the main problem i have with it now is that the cast is way to young, its like watching hollyoaks
They need to make Jay and Ben into the new version of Phil & Grant but BBC producers too scared of doing hardcore gripping storylines due to people making complaints to offcom.
Then don’t watch it . Plus ur lying the cast is defo not yung
Chrissie looks like sideshow bob

How exactly was a motorbike accelerating for so long around the streets of Walford exactly?
At 5:33 who heard thin Lizzy singing Whisky in the jar?
Yep but if was the other way around Grant would be straight up from the piano bashing. In this case Dennis wasn't straight back up. So I give the edge to Grant in a fight at that moment in time.
Funny joke😂😂😂😂
Johnny Allen looks like the villain from the movie 'Speed'.
Willem dafoe
08:43 Phils face is funny
Lol
thats was back in the days that i like than was great to see 👍
Love how Dennis went for his cheap shot he dropped Phil with but grant saw it coming a mile away

Heres the we still get to see Grant back in the Square and him and Phil rule the Square again
what song is that at 4:50? i love that riff i just cant place the name
If Dennis wasn't scared y did he need jonny
Dennis got owned here, imagine if he'd of come up against Grant at his meanest like Eddie Doyle did in 91.
Dennis was hard, bu Grant toughest guy on the square hands down.
Dennis would have been a teenager in 91. So match for Grant.
I find grant is stronger here then he was in the early 90s, he looks bigger
Dennis was dangerous and could go on a psycho mood like how he launched Dennis
@@s0d100 he was skinnyer in the 90's but he was only in his 20's he's now in his mid 50's and really bulked up
Lol Grant "calm down ian dont do any ninja moves on me"
What's worse, the cheesy fighting or grants acting 🤣
Dennis is the best EE character of all time! He could take on anybody!
Jamie Copp Grant dropped him like a virgins knickers on prom night.
Good bottle but he knew he was out of his depth with grant.
Wouldn't have known who he was, unless Sharon still had photos of him kicking about
Yeah I can imagine Sharon saying "Ere Dennis come and look at these pictures of my ex husband" not exactly setting the mood for these newlyweds.
Sean slater would fuck him up
they were both the 2 hardest in eastenders in my opinion but grant was only harder because he was a heavyweight.
Damn, i miss these days, now enders is gone all lame even tho i still watch it. The mitchells were great before, we had, dennis, johnny, andy, nick. Who we got now? derek? lol
classic EastEnders 1990
He did once from andy in the vic.
Well ard
Great video quality. Was it filmed on a potato?
Don't be rude
@@RG5926.or what mate
I don’t know who I fancy most, Grant or Dennis!
Dennis did back down from one fight against andy in the vic before when dennis was threathing sam.
That's beacause Andy had heavies working under him. Remember he hit Andrew without any hesitation when he accidentally hit Zoe.
That was understandable, but Andy couldn't take Dennis on his own.
