I absolutely loved Channel 5’s The Barbara Windsor Story. It was a hugely entertaining look back at the actress’s extraordinary life and career, and it was great to relive her best moments from the Carry On films and EastEnders. I also enjoyed listening to her former soap co-stars, including June Brown, Pam St Clement and Ross Kemp, paying tribute to this very special lady. Well done, Channel 5, for saluting a national treasure. Sean Hood, Hayle, Cornwall

Sky fantasy series Game of Thrones is most welcome back on our TV screens. The mixture of swords and sorcery really captures the graphic storytelling of George R R Martin’s books, and Jim Broadbent is a welcome addition as Maester Marwyn. C C Boyle, Leicester
