Arthur Drops Tea On Himself As His Depression Gets Worse 

Some of the finest acting ive ever seen, depression is predominantly a mental illness but can in fact almost paralyse your whole body

Poor Arthur. Bill Treacher was terrific in these scenes.

I feel for Pauline too as well as Arthur its awful seeing someone you love descending into depression

poor arthur. Even a nice cup of tea won't help.

Depression help back then was non existent

Should have done a special episode where Dr Legg plays a priest and has to perform an exorcism on a recently possessed Arthur.

Dr leg has a heart of gold

He wanted coffee!

Arthur Fowler when you watch these scenes and his funeral, I say he was a tragic working class hero.

I think he was the best actor in the programme

Interesting that ians gone the same way...and they mentioned arthur in a recent episode i wonder if its intentional

@MeBenHalpin I can remember watching these eps when Arthur became really depressed. This misght have been after he trashed the living room in that ep where Den gave Ange the divorce paper.

Living with Lou Beale will do that to a man.

Ooooooh Arthur!

from the dead?

she was a bit stupid handing him what could have been hot water to a man having nervous/emotional breakdown

What year was this ?

Such a shame I think he died of a heart attack or something in his allotment a few episodes after this?

Is this before Christmas 1986 or after Christmas 1986 or beginning of 1987?

Have you got the episode in which he smears shit on the walls?

ha , i rem this
