“Curry, or pizza, or that spaghetti bolog thing” … 0:50 Ethel was always looking for more excitement in life. There was something so sad about her behind the cheekiness.
Thanks for these clips. A great example (this whole episode) of when the show was able to quietly move story along while still feeling like some semblance of daily life. I appreciate how low-key Dot still was here, compared to some later caricature periods.
The writers definitely put Ethel's "Willy" in as a subtle naughty joke. Back when the writing was good, unlike today's Eastenders which is bland and depressing.
@Rhys Hoffman Actually I think it was part of the TV. It was perfectly in rhythm with the music in the background. Also, as I said, it was rhythmic. Clocks don't generally go tick, tick, tickticktock, tick, tock, tickticktock.
