So, tonight’s the night when Barbara Windsor’s exit from Eastenders is screened on the BBC.
She’s played the fabulous Peggy Mitchell for the past 16 years, and I think it’s only fitting that they’re releasing a special version of the theme tune especially for her exit.
Here’s a preview that’s made an appearance on YouTube today (the song doesn’t get released until after tonight’s episode) – there are two versions on the same YouTube, the first is the lovely but pretty standard long-exit music, however, I really really love the second version!
So long Babs, may you continue to crop up on our TV screens for a long time to come! x
