Here after hearing the death of Ian Lavender... man that played Derek.
RIP Ian!

Rest in Peace to you Ian Lavender 1946-2024 Who will remembered as Derek Harkinson & Private Pike in Dad's Army

If you look up 'stubborn' in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Pauline Fowler.

So glad Derek and Pauline made up at the end they were such good friends

Eastenders was amazing and addicting back in the day I miss it all
The Fowlers
The Beales
The Mitchell's
The Slaters
The Watts and Rickmans
The Butchers
The Evans
The Truemans
The Masoods

‘You Fowlers are all the same, you expect people to tell you everything but keep everything to yourselves.’ Dead right!

Good story line and acting from lavender and carty

5:50 Laura looked so lonely. She was a good woman and i didnt like how the writer at this time treated her character.
8:40 stubborn old goat!
Love that bit from Derek.

the music in the cafe sounds like Kim Metcalf voice singing but when she was on fame academy but she started that in 2005 tho❤

He was wonderful!

Called me a traitor MAR R R R K!

Omg just as hard to watch the second time

Start of this looks like it's in the middle of Moscow not London.

I'd pretty much stopped watching EastEnders by then, so missed the Derek character and storylines. But what a warm scene between two actors who had played very popular characters on British TV, and you can see why.

The fahlers

Dr Cartwright! -Yes, Minister.

Episode Soundtrack:
Fairground Attraction : Perfect
Feeder : Just A Day

The car must be freezing

That means had Lisa and Mark worked out Mark would have died and left her and Louise behind. Did Lisa mention Mark when she came back?

Pauline was SO annoying!!!
