    RIP Barbara. I enjoyed the Carry On films. They were from a more gentle less politically correct times. Hopefully you will see Kenneth and the rest of the gang. Say "Hi" from us all.

    Wondering why people with no interest in watches are on a watch forum?

    IMHO it’s a shame that after all the Carry On films (which will likely never be shown ever again.....) she made, entertaining millions she’ll be likely remembered for playing a screaming matriarchal landlady in one of the most depressing serial program known to man.....


    RIP

    The phrase national treasure is used too much but feels strangely apt in her case - RIP dame Barbara

    'Sparrows can't sing' made me fall in love with Babara and realise just how well she could act, a long career and an interesting life, she'll be much missed.

    I’ve never heard that before but they’ve just played it on the radio.

    What a girl, what a woman, always watched and waited in earnest for the bra to come off in Carry on Camping. Sleep tight you lovely lady

    They're still being shown on the Yesterday channel on Freeview. I watched Carry On at Your Convenience and Carry On Cruising a couple of weeks ago.

    Carry On Camping was the best though

    Another celebrity with a questionable life.

    Had a relationship with Reggie Kray and was married to Ronnie Knight for over 20 years.

    I don’t mourn my own family never mind folk I have never met so I’ll pass on this one as usual.

    Yet you feel compelled to writing something rather than just passing on by.

    Entertained millions for many years in a range of roles and she will be remembered for that.

    In later years using her public image to raise awareness of the very illness she would ultimately die from says something about the woman she was.

    RIP.

    Sad to hear. The Carry On film series is so funny. I think I have seen most of them. Each character was played perfectly.

    No question she had dodgy choice in men; but she was so much more than just carry on/ Eastenders, a true entertainer with talent and experience honed on the stage.

    I believe she had a longer relationship with Charlie Kray - the older brother of the twins.
