Was the best episode ever. Absolutely 💯
Best flashback episode I ever seen
Need more
The best ever hope there is more to come
Phil Mitchell Better Not Turn Grass
The casting for this episode was absolutely spot on, especially Phil. Please make this into a mini-series, episode was exceptional 👏
I was gonna say isit just one episode we need a series of this!
Almost eerily well done by mini Phil!
NO CHANCE OF MAKING A MINI SERIES ITS NOT LEFT OR WOKE ENOUGH EASTENDERS RIP
@@vincentcushnahan5292 they've just announced it 🖕🏾🤲🏾
@@vincentcushnahan5292 jesus do you fash bois ever shut up
This was the best episode in years. Massive props to the EastEnders team for this. It felt like a love letter to the show’s history. These are the kinds of special episodes and experiences the show deserves.
Would call it the ‘best episode in years’ but it was just different
The bar for that’s pretty-low in fairness but I agree. It was a good episode.
We are so glad you enjoyed the episode!
@@EastEnders have u guys got any acting jobs ?
@@EastEnders very good ep. Was that meant to be the queen Vic in the drinking scenes?
Definitely want a spin-off series of this
I haven’t watched eastenders for about 15 years but that Phil casting is too perfect 😂
U old
The guy who plays young Phil actually looks like a young Phil!
Yeah mate And in a few bits he sounded like a young phil
Yeah, it was excellent casting at its finest!
The mannerisms were almost too well done! They couldn’t have picked a better lad for the role
He's great, but he's built a little too big in my opinion. People forget how trim Phil was when he first came into it
@Sal thats the most stupidest thing ive ever read Maybe they cloned him wtf everybody knows the bbc has the tardis they asked russell t davies could they use it to grab phil mitchell from the past so they could film this episode. Maybe they cloned him wtf are you smoking.
This flashback episode was amazing and the Ending was a shocker
I just can't get over how well the actor playing Phil has captured his physical and vocal mannerisms. It's as if we actually are watching Steve McFadden in 1979!
Rock & Chips could have been a great spin off series, but sadly we lost John Sullivan. If this is turned into a spin off, it will absolutely fly!
It’s honestly almost spooky how well he channeled Phil. I was honestly in two minds about watching this but the episode surpassed my expectations
@@SobrietyandSolace we might be seeing more of them before too long! The Yanks would love it too! I was snowboarding in America years ago, staying at my friend's cousin's horse ranch. The first evening, we all had to sit in silence while the family watched Eastenders! It was another big cliffhanger, featuring Grant & Phil. I looked at your channel btw. Those are lucky animals to be looked after so well, and the cat hair portrait was beautiful!
"I'LL KILL YA!" - He did his homework.
Also this episode did wonders to establish Archie's side of the family as well as Billy's.
The plot was good but for me the casting is the most impressive 😂👌
Especially the actor who played Phil.
Great Episode
we need more of this just make it a spin-off
Thatd make it less special
@@Pacmanfan-po9rnif this was a spin off it would be awesome!
Loved the part where Phil stands up for himself and the rest of the family against his dad.
This episode was excellent, my favourite in years. Wish we got more of it tbh. Eastenders finally developing something worthy of when thus show was at its best.
Turns out Eric is more ruthless than Phil and Grant combined murdering that security guard was quite ruthless considering he found out he had a daughter and he still done it.
@@JDillon03MUFC I think it was always pretty much suggested Eric was more of a nutter. Was great to get to meet the notorious Mitchell dad though finally. I didn't think ot would ever happen tbh.
It would of been smart for Eastenders to make this special episode an hour long.
@@idreeskhan8885 Nah we got enough info in 30 minutes
@@idreeskhan8885 And they couldn't because of Corrie
Perfect casting
EastEnders did a great job with this episode. For long time viewers it was a great bit of history. I do hope this is a sign of some new quality episodes and storylines to come, we've all been waiting for them.
That young fella playing Phill is outstanding!
This felt like it belonged to a proper old hit show, somewhat like 80s & 90s Eastenders was about. Props to whoever thought of this!
I need more flashbacks of the Mitchell’s or even pre-Eastenders Albert square inc Beales/Watts/Fowlers. The casting was excellent
Loved the flashback episode but I wish it was longer like a hour
The security guard who got shot in this episode made me think, "Where have I seen this actor before?" and then, it struck me. It turns out it was the same actor who played none other than "Mr Steven" from Basil Brush!!!
No way! I thought I recognised the security guard but couldn't place him. What a throwback!
@@stevedavidson5038 I know, talk about nostalgia
That's what I thought!
I recognised him too. He was funny as Stephen in Basil Brush.
so Phil's been giving out empty death threats since he was a young man lol.
LOVED this episode. So glad they brought so many members of the Mitchell family into the flashback.
And all of this makes me sympathise with Phil even more. So he didn't just have an abusive dad, he had a murderer for a father.
Wow. The actors portraying Peggy and Phil are excellent. Their voices, mannerisms. This could be the pilot for a new series….Yes??? 😂 🙏
I thought it would be Billy who killed Keebles dad not Eric what a twist😱😱 Best episode in a long time bravo to the cast👏👏👏
Thanks Michelle, so glad you enjoyed it!
best episode in years.
spin-off mini series of this would be amazing, around 10-15 episodes.
maybe give every major iconic family on the show it’s own flashback mini series too? this could be a fresh idea for EastEnders.
Perfect casting 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Plz don’t end it there could turn it into an series.
I've wanted a flashback series based on the Mitchell's for years now, there's so many stories to be told. I guess a 20 minute episode will just have to do
They should do a mini series of this and show the likes of when Glenda walked out on Ronnie and Roxy and when Eric got shot
You guys should have made this special episode an hour long.
Oh my days Stephen from basil brush 😂😂 I knew I recognised his face
Yeah and Sarah Jane adventure too he as sarah's dad 🤣
Should've had basil brush with Mr Roy instead of blankety blank in the channel hopping scene . would've been a cute nod
Such a iconic episode of eastenders loved Jamie's Winstone acting as Peggy Mitchell !!!
I thought it was cringe central
The casting and acting was spot on. Gritty and real. I was hooked from the start. I hope they turn turn this into a spin off series.
absolutely brilliant one of the best episodes ive watched in years, i like the creativity
I think this is where Peggy grasses Eric up to protect Phil
By far one of my favourite EastEnders episodes of all time the character depth was amazing actors were all spot on and finally getting to see the famous Eric Mitchell was great! ❤️👏👏👏
So glad you loved it Shannon!
This was exceptional. A series following this would be absolutely fantastic. Would be a complete trend starter.
Fantastic episode this. Even the way they tied in Ronnie not getting along with her dad in the future was explained 👏
The way he says "I'll kill you" makes me smile, the actor playing a young Phil, is it me or does he look like a young Steve McFadden?
(He actually looks like him and sounds like him)
it made me smile because I was laughing so much its pretty spot on for Phil's character how he threatens to kill his dad and expects him to take him seriously when only minutes before this he chickened out of another killing showing he didn't have it in him.
and decades later Phil's still throwing out empty threats but never following through lol.
I wanted to see more of these flash back episodes. This was so good.
They cast the younger Mitchells so well, especially Phil!
I want more episodes
Now we know why Phil is who he is. If Eric never beat him, Phil would never have committed anything.
Such an awesome episode 👏🏾
This really should’ve been a spin-off
Mhm. Might-as-well be its own series.
They’ve invested so many resources into the episode it would make sense for them to carry on with the set, costumes, cast etc even just for a mini series
@@SobrietyandSolace mhm-hm.
Yes the guy who played Phil Mitchell not only looked a lot like him. But even have the same expressions and mannerisms as Phil Mitchell as an adult.
Insane casting, especially young Phil and Peggy! I mean just look at the thumbnail
I once read that something like this actually happened with the Kray twins and their father,
He used to beat their Mum until one day (when they were 16) Ronnie hit him and told him if he ever hit his mum again he’d regret it😳.
Really
I read that too😬.
This was great. Just write off the main show and start again from the 70s.
He really does look like a younger Phil, well done to Eastenders you did a fantastic job its refreshing to watch something different that you don't expect.
This storyline is the first time I've been properly excited for new episodes in a long time, hopefully this is a sign that the new director is a good one. For a long time now, I've just been watching Eastenders out of habit. I've enjoyed some of the storylines, but there hasn't been something consistently interesting until this.
Brilliant episode
GTA Eastenders 😂
Good old Steven out of Basil Brush as the security guard I never forget a face 🤣
Monday's episode was absolutely fantastic, kudos again to the Eastenders team and especially Daniel Delaney for a brilliant episode!!
Missed all the old characters glad to see them back one of the best EastEnders episodes in years in my opinion
Best episode in year's 👏🏼
We need more!! Make it a spin off series! That was more like eastenders than it is now..
This was so good, and they were all so well casted that it could've been a mini series like rock and chips was. The Mitchell's were always my fave EE family, so this intrigued me loads. I wish Ronnie & Roxy was in it more as i miss them
Though I don't get Eastenders in my country anymore, at least I can still see bits and pieces of this episode!
Best episode in a long while🥳!
They should do a flashback of when Max Branning was a kid and when he was looked in a coffin
yes ! id love to see how derek turned out the way he did , and young jim , because they always said he was a horrible person when he was young
@@freddiemeyer4563 it would be very interesting to watch it'll be good to have Max's Mam in it and to see Jack and Max fighting
Many people have suggested this as a spin-off series. I for one would watch this over Eastenders any day. I haven’t seen Eastenders for years
The guy with the moustache and saids the other guard, he's back is Stevie Mitchell?
He said he was there in a 2024 episode recently.
So this explains the historical rivarly between the Mitchell's and kebble. 👍
Tbf I wasn’t too fussed about a flashback episode but after watching it I was really impressed and want more! It was perfectly cast and very well executed. Spinoff series perhaps?
Same here, didn’t think it would gel with me but they did such a good job
I loved this episode! Loved seeing the origins of the MItchells. The cast were brilliant, especially the guy who played Phil! The moment he beat up his father, I was like "That's Phil Mitchell!". They should do more episodes like this, not just with the Mitchells, but other families too like the Brannings, Cottons, Beales, Butchers etc.
It's unreal how much he looks like young Steve Mcfadden.
Wow first time in years eastenders is actually captivating for me
Absolutely fantastic brilliantly done thank you eastenders
So glad you enjoyed it!
Vivian: ohh have we got a video!
I was half-waiting for Gene Hunt and Alex Drake to turn up! 😂
I wonder if the police man who went to tell the keebles of the murder, turns out to be henry hubbard, vincents father, Claudettes husband
Good theory I thought that too
That wouuuld be a genious twist
Can never forget when Vincent believed Eric Mitchell to be his Dad’s killer.
@Ben G you do get bent coppers
@Ben G that could be the twist though
I love the way phill stood up to his bully/thug of a father
0:44 he sounds like Phil
I mean spot on did but it’ll take a lot of effort to mimic and learn about the character
Should,do more episodes like this
Best episode in a long time excellent.
Okay so I think I have worked out the storyline and who’s in that photo, and what the DI wants from Phil now. Love this!
The actor who plays Phil reminds me of Steve when he first started the show perfect casting
Why did they put the sound of a pump action shotgun when he's got a sawn off double barrel? 😂
Probably some of the best acting on Eastenders ever
The Geezer is like Brown bread since 1985!!! So it’s not like Keeble’s gonna get Any Justice… 😳😳😳
This was a fantastic episode so different for Eastenders but great viewing they could not have cast a better actor to play a young phil Mitchell he does an exceptional job
This would be a quality idea for Eastenders as a separate backstory soap.
It reminded me of only fools and horses rock and roll without the comedy.
Bring back all the old characters and intertwine the stories.
They really should do this all the time.
Make a whole new series based on classic Eastenders and not just a mini series, I guarantee genuine Eastenders fans would love this.
They could bring back Den Watts, Dennis Rickman, Derek Branning, all the tough characters.
Have the Krays and the firm too as they were all linked to Eric.
Literally everyone past and present that are included in the timeline from 1979 to now. I think it’s a brilliant idea do it Eastenders.
This is absolute class. Top draw.
They casted young Phil Mitchell really well as the actor playing him is like a mini Steve McFadden and I think they did well with casting young billy as he has some traits about him that resembles Perry fenwick
Lost Eastenders from PBS years ago and tried to keep up via UA-cam vids. Lost interest because PBS stopped airing it around the 2005 episodes and only a few from that era remain. Now they are beginning to bring them back! I may need to move to England.
The goat episode
They should do more flashback episodes
This was a great episode. They reminded me of the Kray Twins and their mum.
Loved it got a bit excited when phil beat up his dad my son told me to quiet lol
EASTENDERS IS BACK
I want more episodes of flashback eastenders family
Great episode. My only quibbles? Black plastic bin/trash bags in 1979; Peggy's sister-in-law wearing a 1972 miniskirt; VHS vcr machines being stolen.
We had plastic bin liners in the UK in the 1950s. Mary Quant designed the mini skirt in the mid '60s. VHS came to the UK in 1978. Next!
@@obscurazone thank you. Some people love being loud and very wrong on the world wide web.
They used part of the Call The Midwife set for this 😊
This episode was amazing! I had an idea and maybe Eastenders could do Christmas Eve 1981 where Vincent’s dad Henry was killed by Claudette, as Claudette blamed Eric for it but could be cool to see what happened.. just an idea 😀
Good job Eastenders, loved this episode!
Yes.. I used love watching the old school eastenders christmas specials back in the day.
God, the young actor for Phil is Steve’s double!
Ewww is that Danielle playing Peggy 🤣🤣🤣
Well he's hardley likely to look like a young Ian Beale is he ? 🤣🤣🤣
Looool he actually looks and sounds like phil😂
Deffo should be a full series, great cast they were spot on 👍
