June Brown

Fern Britton returns with a new four part series for Advent, meeting people whose faith has played a special part in their lives.

Fern's first guest is June Brown who rose to fame as the gossipy Dot Cotton - now Branning - on EastEnders. She's now one of the soap's best loved characters, who wears her religious beliefs on her sleeve. June's on-screen conviction is mirrored off-camera and, just like her TV character, it has helped her overcome personal tragedies.
