Classic EastEnders is the series title under which selected pre-1 April 2008 episodes of EastEnders are added to BBC iPlayer.
Iconic Episodes[]
The first batch of 9 episodes were aired and uploaded in 2020 as EastEnders: Iconic Episodes. Over the course of 5 years, several more episodes were added and some re-listed elsewhere on iPlayer (because they were by then listed on iPlayer with EastEnders: Christmas 1986 - 2007, EastEnders 2008 - 2012, EastEnders 2013 - 2017, EastEnders 2018 - 2021 or the current EastEnders series).
