If I remember correctly, they marked the 15th anniversary by having everyone gather in the Vic to take shelter from an unexploded WW2 bomb that had been found on the Square. I’d need to look the clip up but I seem to remember a rather clunky exchange between Pauline and Dot, where Dot just happens to remember that it’s been 15 years since Reg Cox died, in a nod to the opening episode.

Out of interest, was this a fold-out cover? I feel like there's more going on past Pauline and Nick.

I thought the same myself as you can see what looks like someone’s arm beside Pauline and they’ve the arrow after “look who joined the party”. I can only find the unfolded version online though.

Yeah. It does feel like we're only getting half the picture.
How tantalisingly mysterious. I wonder if we'll ever find out who's at the other end of the bench.

Not my favourite era of Enders, but this was a gem of an episode. An hour-long special, I think, and felt almost self-contained.
This is the Radio Times Enders cover I always remember. To launch the show going three times a week, they had a ridiculously exciting siege-in-the-Vic storyline and transformed Grant, Sharon and Michelle into the Human League:

This was around the time that Phil sold Dan Sullivan the pub for a fiver if I remember correctly. I liked the idea of Dan and him running the pub but he didn’t last long on the show for whatever reason.
It’s out there, so I must give it a watch.
I love this description. Around this time, Radio Times would often push the boat out when it came to EE covers. They had David Bailey do a photoshoot with Patsy Palmer while the birth of Ben warranted a portrait of him and Kathy by Lord Lichfield.

Interestingly, Radio Times, which was traditionally the BBC-centric listings magazine, doesn’t appear to have done a cover for the 20th anniversary (unless it just isn’t available online).

Probably the last stint that I watched it with any regularity. I still dip in at Christmas or when someone big is returning but it’s usually only for those few episodes.

Funny to see James Smilie's name in this thread as I immediately associate him with his Aussie roles (mainly Return To Eden, but I know he was in Prisoner as well).
Until I looked into it off the back of this I hadn't realised he was born in Scotland, nor that his filmography was so split between Britain and Oz.

Wow! I didn’t realise that Stephanie’s bouffant, Kenny Rogers lookalike lover had a career in the UK.
