"I'm so glad you had the life you did Barbara. I'm sorry you can't remember but my God, what a life! You haven't wasted a minute of it!"

BARBARA WINDSOR had a life full of achievements on and off screen. From the enormously successful and much loved Carry On films to more than twenty years in Albert Square as Peggy Mitchell.

Weaving together an old fashioned love story, a glittering life of showbiz and the heartbreaking impact of dementia, her husband SCOTT MITCHELL who shared his life with Barbara for 27 years, talks candidly in his new book about everything to do with this national treasure.

In 2020, Barbara passed away with dementia, after a long battle since being diagnosed in 2014. Although initially kept private, Scott and Barbara went public with the news in 2018.

In this special edition of the podcast, friend to the couple and director of Barbara's last scenes in Eastenders, LEE SALISBURY sits down and talks candidly to Scott about life with Barbara and life with the crippling disease.

They celebrate her life on and off screen and relive memories together. Scott opens up about his former addiction, about life being on the arm of a legend and the end days with his beloved Bar.
