Best of frenemies

BBC1 revisits the classic two-hander from 1998 when Peggy and Pat clashed over Frank…

- ALISON SLADE

You bitch!’

‘You cow!!’

When it comes to iconic Enders lines, the insults hurled during Peggy and Pat’s barney are up there with, ‘You ain’t my muvva!’ and, ‘Get arta my pub!’ Who’d have thought that a second-hand car salesman with a revolving dicky bow could provoke such a heated exchange?

The women were clashing over Frank Butcher, of course. Frank had previously been married to Pat, but by 1998 he and Peggy were a couple, while Pat was hitched to Mr Reliable, Roy Evans.
