And how he was devastated when Billy died. Just watching the 2010 episodes now and the whole thing with Billy Jackson is so sad. Seeing them all so young here! Like Ricky with long hair!
@@j04370859 not really. He was just clumsy with words. Once he was past that veritably-prejudiced phase he meant no harm and not just because he was best mates with Patrick.
Max & Jack would’ve been very young here, early 20s at least. 10 years before Max’s arrival in 2006 and 11 years before Jack’s in 2007. Max would’ve made his own life by now, left home by now, he would’ve married Tanya and had Lauren at this point. Not too sure about Jack though.
@charlottebryant2088 , no, they didn't and yes, it did. Carol originally had two sisters (April and Suzy) and one brother (Derek). Jim later said he had five children, although the fifth was never mentioned by name. Max arrived much later but was never before mentioned by the Brannings and then Jack was created, making it six. Max and Jack were retconned into existence.
Max wasn't introduced til a decade later and then Jack first arrived the following year. Don't know what they would've been doing round this time though.
They didn't know each other and they were cousins. "This is my rebecca." Wow what a close family. It's so unrealistic taswell that two new brothers are added later. Max and Jack.
I was just watching your “Charlie Slater Punches Harry Slater” video and I was wondering if you have the next part where Zoe and Kat fight? I’d like to see that.
Suprised Max & Jack were not mentioned 10 years later we finally see them played by Jake Wood & Scott Malsen yet Suzy was recast to ex Shameless actress Maggie O’Neil but Derek was recast to be played by one time Doctor Who actor Jamie Foreman
A church known to have weddings where either bride or groom gets jilted at the altar. Or in this case, only for it to turn out as somebody else's wedding instead lol
@@miabrucefan managed to catch it on the iplayer re-runs. Her son would only be late teens in that point. Given how she is, she must of done something awful to them.
So Alan realises Nikos has done a bunk, and April’s heartbroken, and proposes to Carol and wants to marry her there and then? So April would be sitting through another wedding when she’s just been jilted?
They didn't exist. They just pretended Max and Jack didn't want anything to do with the family back then. Which isn't that hard to believe due to Derek and Jim's behaviour
RIP John Bardon. John Bardon was a veteran actor and appeared in loads of television programmes over the years.
Got him in a Sweeney episode and Minder as a villian.
@@paulfrost8895 also as Tom, the head of security in the Only Fools and Horses episode, the Longest Night
In particular he went up the Elephant and round the castle.
He played a bookmaker in Disney’s One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing.
When Max arrived Jim's dark past was revealed, which gave the character more depth in storylines.
Bullet 285 yeah very true mate! Shame they never gave him any major storylines
@@eescenes85 It's also a shame they never brought the original Derek back.
Agreed.
@@tonywilliams5529 the original derek died.
Tony Williams He died
RIP John Bardon
Crazy how Jim was racist to the core here yet in the end his best friend would be Patrick Trueman.
Yeah I hated him here but I liked him when he changed
He changed so well Jim Did
And how he was devastated when Billy died. Just watching the 2010 episodes now and the whole thing with Billy Jackson is so sad.
Seeing them all so young here! Like Ricky with long hair!
Jim was still a bit prejudice, he was criticising Ruby Allen and Juley's interracial relationship.
@@j04370859 not really. He was just clumsy with words. Once he was past that veritably-prejudiced phase he meant no harm and not just because he was best mates with Patrick.
Omfg I’ve been waiting for this for ages
TheEastEndBoy ahh yeah, never saw it before tbh mate so it was nice to see it! 😁 did you know that Jim became a regular character in 1999? :)
EE Scenes 85 no I didn’t know that
Carol looks so young here
Because she was...
The Branning family rlly became relevant when Max and Jack arrived
True.
Man Jim's a legend R.I.P
Jim Brannings a legend
How times have changed...
I remember he made an appearance in an episode of Only Fools & Horses 10 years before this along with Richard Blackwood's brother.
The Shadow
Vas Blackwood is Richard Blackwood’s cousin...
Dixon of Quala Lumper lol
Cousin*
That damn illusive sha ah adow
Shame April was never on screen with Max and Jack
I wonder where Max and Jack were during this?
Max & Jack would’ve been very young here, early 20s at least. 10 years before Max’s arrival in 2006 and 11 years before Jack’s in 2007. Max would’ve made his own life by now, left home by now, he would’ve married Tanya and had Lauren at this point. Not too sure about Jack though.
@@bellend1334 Jack was a copper at this time
They didn't exist. Max and Jack were written into the show later and the Brannings' backstory was changed to accommodate them.
@@elgee6202they did exist. The brannings story didn’t change at all. Everyone knew what Jim was like before he met dot
@charlottebryant2088 , no, they didn't and yes, it did. Carol originally had two sisters (April and Suzy) and one brother (Derek). Jim later said he had five children, although the fifth was never mentioned by name. Max arrived much later but was never before mentioned by the Brannings and then Jack was created, making it six.

Where were Max and Jack?
Max wasn't introduced til a decade later and then Jack first arrived the following year. Don't know what they would've been doing round this time though.
Jim Branning had a very dark past. No pun intended.
his first wife here is totally opposite to dot fag ash cotton
That's the original Derek branning
They didn't know each other and they were cousins.
"This is my rebecca."
Wow what a close family. It's so unrealistic taswell that two new brothers are added later. Max and Jack.
Derek changed 😂😂
Became fat and gained hair 😂
Both dereks were not even strong like Jack
I was just watching your “Charlie Slater Punches Harry Slater” video and I was wondering if you have the next part where Zoe and Kat fight? I’d like to see that.
TheEastEndBoy ua-cam.com/video/irAiGXzIbYU/v-deo.html do ya mean this scene mate? Or was there another scene after? :)
EE Scenes 85 yeah that’s the one thanks mate
TheEastEndBoy no problem mate, I've just uploaded Barry's first appearance so feel free to check that out :)
Rebecca played by Alice Dawnay aka Alice Rowe from Grange Hill
Suprised Max & Jack were not mentioned 10 years later we finally see them played by Jake Wood & Scott Malsen yet Suzy was recast to ex Shameless actress Maggie O’Neil but Derek was recast to be played by one time Doctor Who actor Jamie Foreman
also reenie branning first appearance
patsy stone yeah that's right :)
Only appearance.
S Hammond Max’s mum
Reenie Branning's actress Joy Graham died on the 15 June 2020
OMG is that Ricky?!
this is the real superior brannings before the 2006 flashy buggers who call themselves brannings roll up
The same Church as Andy Hunter and Kats Wedding
Thought it looked familiar
A church known to have weddings where either bride or groom gets jilted at the altar. Or in this case, only for it to turn out as somebody else's wedding instead lol
I wonder with the 2008 re-runs on iplayer, the other suzy (maggie) is in it and I wonder why her kids are not mentioned.
She mentions them in early December
@@miabrucefan managed to catch it on the iplayer re-runs. Her son would only be late teens in that point. Given how she is, she must of done something awful to them.
@@melissakelly7490 yeah. I want Suzy to return so that we have more Brannings and it would be nice if her backstory was explored
@@miabrucefan I think shes been de-aged since that clip of Jim's first appearance. Suzy was certainly interesting but I'd love to see April again!
So Alan realises Nikos has done a bunk, and April’s heartbroken, and proposes to Carol and wants to marry her there and then? So April would be sitting through another wedding when she’s just been jilted?
Alexander Jones Alan pre-planned the wedding to be after Aprils wedding and April helped him pull it off
The whole thing was pre planned, it would have to be for a Church Wedding as the Bans have to be proclaimed 3 times.
Jim legendary here 🏴🇬🇧
Wow a branning was there is 1996
The guy in the blue shirt near the beginning is Derek Branning.
There was a time (Jake Wood) came there in the early 90s but not as Max
4 of max and jacks siblings were seen in the 90s. Max and Jack appeared in the 2000s and Suzy returned but was recast
But he wasnt jn it in 1998 eot withba firnd likt all yr😊
Jim really hated Alan and Nikos here
He was a racist to start with, which sort of faded away a bit when he later befriended Patrick.
Why weren't Max or Jack at the wedding
Max didn’t see Jim for 17 years. This was 10 years before he arrived.
Max and Jack didn't even exist in 1996. Jim's only son was Derek. The characters of Max and Jack were created in the 2000s and 1996 was retconned.
They didn't exist. They just pretended Max and Jack didn't want anything to do with the family back then. Which isn't that hard to believe due to Derek and Jim's behaviour
Jim was horrible
Back here he was, but at least he changed unlike Derek.
@@KittysPSACorner Only then for Max to arrive and make sure Jim didn't forget how he mistreated him in the past.
Jim was an excellent character. Back when eastenders was top entertainment now it’s just woke garbage
Just cos you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s woke garbage..
