Eastenders
DRAMA 7.30PM, BBC1
It’s a polyester-fest in Walford as Eastenders goes back in time to 1979 to explore the Mitchells’ past, which, we’re told, will shed more light on Phil’s rocky present with DCI Keeble. Jaime Winstone, who was terrific as a young Barbara Windsor in Babs, reconnects with the late, great Dame to play Peggy, but there’s not a single ‘Get arta my pub!’ to be heard. This is Peggy in her thirties – cleaning, cooking and vying to keep her boys on the straight and narra (well, she tried). ’Enders bosses say this is a one-off special, but could a follow-up series be in the pipeline? ★★★★ AS
