Mitchell milestone as Perry passes 1000th episode!
Big congrats to actor Perry Fenwick, who reached an incredible EastEnders milestone last week, after filming his 1000th episode as hapless Billy Mitchell!
Perry, snapped on set with Jamie Borthwick and Steve McFadden, has been playing Billy for an amazing eleven years now. Judging by the smile on his face, he's still having plenty of fun with the role.
"Seeing as I was originally signed up for four episodes, 996 episodes later, I still haven't been found out!" Perry revealed. "I'm absolutely delighted and can't wait to tell my mum!"
EastEnders' Executive Producer Bryan Kirkwood was on hand to congratulate sharp-suited Perry during filming.Ìý "In one thousand episodes of EastEnders, Perry has created a true Walford icon," Bryan told us. "Billy is the most loveable loser on British TV and despite a thousand episodes of bad luck, the audience are still willing him to succeed."
Let's hope we'll be marking Perry's 2000th ep in a few years time!
What's been your favourite Billy moment? Let us know!

I'd think the best moment that i don't think i could forget, was when the Mitchell brothers returned and Billy pulled up outside the vic in the range rover, and saw Peggy getting strangled by johnny alans gang member. Billy said "Oi! Leave her alone!" and the guy said "What, you and who's army?" And then Phil And Grant got out the back leaving the doof doof on grant saying "Hello mum" hahaha, brilliant moment for the Mitchells.

But I also loved the scenes with him and his children & I wish the show would bring them back. I was looking forward to watching a character with Down's Syndrome grow up on the Square.
But I also loved when he proposed to Little Mo with the alphabet spaghetti.

An analysis on Billy Mitchelle
I like Billy,
all the others treat him badly,
he must be the nicest mitchell there is,
and whenever he's becoming successful its ruined,
although he always works it out .
conclusion, Billy is my favourate character
