Dirty Den - The Iconic EastEnders Landlord, Embracing Entrepreneurship in the 80s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Carl Bruin on November 29th, 1985, we catch a glimpse of Leslie Grantham, famously known as 'Dirty Den, ' the beloved landlord of the Queen Victoria pub in the hit TV series EastEnders. However, what makes this image truly intriguing is discovering that behind his notorious character's persona, Grantham had an unexpected part-time gig. During the height of EastEnders' popularity in the 1980s, it seems Dirty Den was not only serving pints and stirring up drama on-screen but also delving into entrepreneurship off-screen. In a surprising twist to his acting career, Grantham can be seen proudly displaying a range of EastEnders-themed merchandise - t-shirts and coffee mugs - which he personally sold. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to an era when television stars were not confined solely to their roles but embraced opportunities beyond acting. It showcases Grantham's entrepreneurial spirit and his dedication towards engaging with fans outside of their living rooms. As we delve into this nostalgic piece of entertainment history, we are reminded that actors like Leslie Grantham played pivotal roles both on and off-camera during this iconic era. This photograph serves as a testament to how even fictional characters could transcend screens and become cultural icons through clever merchandising ventures.
