Jaime Winstone in Babs

[cuteglasses]

I was soooo looking forward to watching this - I found JW extremely meh. Nowhere near vibrant or effervescent enough. What did anyone else think?

I’ve not seen this so this may be unfair

But I’m surprised at the choice

And I always find her hard to watch in films generally

Yes I agree. IRL Barbara Windsor was so petite - Jamie Winston looked a bit clunky in comparison

Jaime Winstone was totally miscast. The older actress had Barbara Windsor's mannerisms and body shape perfectly.
Jaime acting really ruined the programme. She was more like Kat Slater than Barbara Windsor.

Glad it's not just me! She was so wooden and couldn't have been less like her if she tried

Also Barbara had a sweetness about her. She was a tough cookie but also had a very gentle warm aura about her. Jaime portrayed her as a dumb blond that just strutted around.

Didn't watch Babs but have seen JW I. Other stuff and I can't take to her. Not sure why because I like her father in things I think he's a good actor.
