Series 3: 1. Barbara Windsor



Barbara Windsor traces her maternal grandfather to the east London docks and finds out that his mother was a match girl at the Bryant and May factory. Barbara's father's family has generations of cockneys, mostly labourers, costermongers and barrow boys. She discovers that her mother's ancestors were Irish, leaving Cork after the potato famine, and that she's related to the artist Constable.
