Barbara Windsor

Sorry but I thought it was tedious.

I didn't like it sorry, difficult to believe she was the innocent the play portrayed

I have recorded it to watch this week.

I liked it.

Didn't like it, watched the recording on double speed as it was very slow. Samantha Spiro was way better than Jaime Whinstone.

Only saw bits and pieces maybe that's why I found it confusing.
I've never been a fan so wasn't really interested

Watched it, not sure if it was the best way to tell her story. I also thought Samantha Spiro was spot on, the younger version not so good. The father has a lot to answer for.

I found it very very slow. Also I'm not a fan of the flash back technique, I would have preferred the story to be , although the way the director had Barbara interacting with her oadt was interesting.

Sorry .... I would have preferred the story to be just that, (like Cilla), although the way the director had Barabara interacting with herself was interesting.

So underneath the giggling, busty blonde there was a serious dramatic talent. I'm not sure that rings true, but it could be that she is adept at acting the giggly, busty blonde enough to fool me!

I liked the format greatly - more like theatre than TV.

I liked the part when she was a child but not the rest. I found the interaction with her father somewhat artificial. However it needs a sequel for her later years.

Cannot blame her fsther for her choice of friends or affairs,

I quite enjoyed it, against my expectations. Yes it was slow, and no I do not think it was really 'true to life' however, I liked the way it was done, with Barbara looking at herself growing up. Let's face it she will always be known as the busty blonde, but in all honesty, with the very little talent she has, she hasn't done too badly, and continues to polish her own star.

I quite enjoyed it, but on programs such as that one, spend half the time explaining to the oh what's happening and who is who. Why do men not get it ?

I didn't watch it, I found Barbara Windsor extremely irritating when I was growing up, the inane giggle and the fact that her bust was so "in your face", a bit like an early day Katie Price. She made me feel uncomfortable, particularly that awful clip where her bikini top comes flying off during an exercise class. My younger self would cringe. By the time she became the matriarch in Eastenders I was over all that, not that I've watched EE for donkeys years. I'm not wild about Jamie Winstone so all in all it wasn't for me.

I liked it I saw her once, she was lovely and friendly.

She is not a person I like or admire - in fact I find her very annoying - so I didn't bother to watch it.

I find her very annoying too and think she has very little talent and can't act.

I can't listen to her, that irritating giggle

Quite!

I went to the original Fings Ain't What They Used to Be, enjoyed the whole production immensely. I remember sitting up in my seat when a tiny blonde alone on the stage squawked out 'Where do little birds go in the wintertime?' She looked so forlorn that I was moved to tears.

I am not a fan of BW but I watched I and found it fascinating. Her early career was so successful. It was funny watching her trying to cope with Joan Littlewood and her innovative rehearsals. JL certainly rated her and considered she had talent. No doubt some things were glossed over but she didn't white wash herself completely. I enjoyed it.

Not a fan so didn't watch it.

cant stand the woman,she's the type that gives all women a bad name .If she's in any programme I'll turn it off.I read about her multiple affairs, the gangsters and abortions years ago and decided she wasn't my kind of person.Maybe if she's been a half decent actress it would have been different but she seemed to be a very self centred person who didn't care who got damaged along the way .And then she gets an "honour" ....??
