It would help if I spelled her name right - for Americans reading this, I am sorry that the magnificent tackiness of Pam’s ‘Pat’ in ‘Eastenders’ has not been a part of your culture. The earrings you have missed, the fantastic hairstyles and Mumus that you didn’t experience and the wonderful ‘everyone’s mum’ acting style that Pam does with such grace and generosity. Mike Reid is sorely missed to this day, but if we can’t have Frank Butcher, at least we still have his one true lady love and partner in crime, Pat, ‘Oh, Pat…’ to enjoy.
