Windsor turns down 'Carry On' role
EastEnders star Barbara Windsor has turned down a role in the new Carry On film.

The 70-year-old, who plays Peggy Mitchell in the soap, refused to consider making an appearance in Carry On London.

She said: "There's no way I'd do it. The Carry Ons were wonderful but very much of their time. I don't think it's possible to recreate them today. I think, would Sid James have done it? Would Kenneth Williams? And the answer is no."

Windsor made her name in the comedy franchise, starring in nine movies between 1964 and 1977.

The latest instalment - expected to feature Vinnie Jones and model Victoria Silvstedt - is scheduled for a 2008 release.
