There’s a new addition to the TV schedule tonight as the BBC remembers EastEnders icon June Brown. <\/p>
BBC One has made a change to its schedule tonight following the sad news of TV legend June Brown\u2019s death, which was announced earlier today.<\/p>\n
\u2018June Brown: A Walford Legend\u2019 will air tonight (4th April) at 8pm, straight after EastEnders<\/a>\u2018 usual showing at 7.30. The half-hour programme is sure to be a fitting tribute to the star who played Dot Branning in the long-running serial drama.<\/p>\n The documentary will replace the Panorama special \u2018Obesity: Who Cares If I\u2019m Bigger?\u2019 which is fronted by fellow EastEnders actor Clair Norris. This will be shown at a later date which is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n Brown played the role of devout Christian and local gossip Dot from 1985 until 2020 and went through endless trials and tribulations thanks to her troubled son Nick (John Altman). The character was much-loved and often found herself looked upon for advice and guidance from her neighbours.<\/p>\n Dot did have some happier times during her time in Walford, evidenced by her marriage to second husband Jim Branning<\/a> (John Bardon), from whom she inherited grandchildren and a lasting extended family.<\/p> This special instalment of the soap has now been added to BBC iPlayer<\/a>, so viewers can watch and remember Brown\u2019s outstanding portrayal in all its glory.<\/p>\n In 2009, fans will recall that Brown was nominated for a Television BAFTA for her solo performance in an episode of EastEnders, which saw Dot coming to terms with her decision to allow an unwell Jim to move into a residential home following a stroke.<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders\u00a0<\/a>page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch check out our\u00a0TV guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
