  • Dot Cotton receives shocking news from the police about her husband, Charlie Cotton - Mark1.
    Loads of legendary characters in this clip and classic stuff from Ethel Skinner. Dot and her were a great double act.
    On a side note the actor who plays the policeman in this clip was the son of Tony Caunter who was Roy Evans in EastEnders.

    Ethel was such a great character in the early days so sorely missed

    You gotta love that she used her best friends husbands death as an excuse to get pissed for free down the pub 😂😂😂

    Ethel was my favorite character. In the States, they showed East Enders back in the early 90's on PBS and some cast members made appearances to raise money during membership drives.

      A lot of that generation seemed like that. I felt the same about my grandparents. Everything about them seemed very old fashioned. But then I think the modern world had arrived so quickly, they couldn’t really - and didn’t want to - keep up with it.

      Agreed. Much like the son, who's a hundred times worse. And bless, broken the news by a child police boy.

      Yes, it's classic. Reminds me of the year before when they started filming Cluedo as a games show, and June Whitfield as the Mrs White character told the audience she was "paranotic" (paranoid) and should the "studio defectives be making such insinuating remarks" against her! Classic.

    "I got a new packet in 'ere, I'm sure I have", a little ad-lib from June Brown, not only an ad-lib but a little nod to one of June's real life friends who told June about a new brand of menthol cigarette that had come out (the Berkeley menthol), both swapped from smoking Consolate menthol king size cigarettes to Berkeley menthol super king size menthol.

When June went over to Berkeley menthol she added that line "I got a new packet in 'ere, I'm sure I have"
