So you had to be from the poorest slum to consider working in the match factory because of the danger. Where they lived was also rife with crime. So the women who worked at the matchstick place were determined not to get into crime even if it meant a 16 hour shift and all the dangers. That's real dignity and integrity.
I’m 73, my grandmother worked in that match factory in London, she used to fill up the boxes, if they rattled they would be made to fill them so they wouldn’t.
She was from the silent gen, she was already a middle aged woman when computers hit the public. Plus, she was rich maybe she didn't feel the need to learn and she was rich enough that wouldn't impact her life in any way.
Agreed..................... I've tried to buy series 3 of which this is part on ebay but it's very rare and the only one for sale is rediculously expensive. I think the BBC should have shown this again or maybe not out of respect to her family......? It would be nice if they added it to the next series in her memory though maybe asking her husband first? Enjoy PS Funny where watching these leads after doing some research I have just bought the book The Blackstreets by Mary Wise all about the 'Old Nichol' which was cleared and rebuilt in the late 1800's none of the original tenants could afford it though and so were dispersed throughout London. Same think happened to 'The Rookery' just off New Oxford Street...........
I would love to know who the families of industrialists are today..and especially if they are wealthy, and if they know of or give 2 shits about how their generational wealth come about -but think I know the answers already
@@Mrs.TJTaylor So you want to judge people because they come from a rich family? It is not less unfair than to judge people because they come from a poor family...
Very sad to think that Maryanne's parents had to leave Ireland due to the famine, were they were not too bad off with the father being a cabinet maker. To then go to the slums and sell matchsticks
There was a big age gap between them but they absolutely adored each other, and Scott cared for her when she developed Alzheimer's, right up until her death.
She was Irish, born in cork not uncommon In Ireland, all of the smiths, all of oasis, Kevin Rowland, boy George, jimmy carr, paddy McGuiness, Neil Morrissey, dusty Springfield we're all second-generation Irish born to two Irish immigrant parents. The only light haired one is dusty. The majority of Irish have dark hair usually with blue eyes or green even if swarthy skinned but not always
And yet, if the wife is a teenager and the man is old as he hills, no one bats an eye. Right? Maybe he married her for her money and she married him for his looks. Quid pro quo.

Thank you Barbara for half a century of laughter and titillation. R.I.P.
Bye the time she died it was 70 years in showbiz 😁
@@Davidjohnson-o6g Good...I have 20 more years to enjoy 😛
@@Davidjohnson-o6g 🤔 Huh?
How did she pass?
@@Charlie-nd9ef alzheimers
The working conditions were awful😞
God Bless you Babs, Rest in Peace🕊💖
So very proud of them, thank you for paving our way beautiful women!

Loved this lady, reminds me of my auntie, from a great generation RIP
Such a nice lady and so funny. She made so many people laugh. I love her in the Carry On films 💜
Life was very hard in the old days for most of people.
She is so brilliant! She is so like my family, a true cockney with Irish ancestry. Love it!
Me too.
Ahhh our little cockney sparrow bless her.
One of Ms Windsor's best segments. 🤗
Barbara is just wonderful isn't she 👀 xx the way she speaks takes me back to being the with my nan x
Lovely lady so down to earth RIP Babs xx
Bless Barbara Windsor. Lovely Lady
Barbara never used a computer in her life?! wow!
But she could remember her lines and was elequant( sp)
Because it was all written down on pieces of paper for her!!
She was from the silent gen, she was already a middle aged woman when computers hit the public. Plus, she was rich maybe she didn't feel the need to learn and she was rich enough that wouldn't impact her life in any way.
Lol, We present the Do family...Barbara was so funny bless her. Looks like they both had the same humour. Lol
Aww Babs ❤️ we miss you xxx
Can’t Believe she passed 😭
Aww miss Barbra! Scott is amazing!! He was so in love with her even when she had Dementia! Surprising with the age gap. Proba gentlemen!
Old Nichol Street...quite a rookery in its day. She really was an Eastender! Loved her. RIP luv.
I wonder if that's where the infamous Nichol gang originated from. They ran a 'protection' racket.
Such strong women. Wow.
Matchbox makers. Never knew that, I only thought of match girl sellers. There is a world of history that poor destitute workers contributed to.
I can see how helpful great grandma looks like Barb. Sweet couple those 2.
How proud her ancestors would be to see how Barbara turned out and was beloved by many. Bonus she has some Irish in her :)
I want the full epoisode 😢 r.i.p babs x

You said it, Friend! Not to mention the Lords and Ladies and monarchy in general. And people actually respect those parasites.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor So you want to judge people because they come from a rich family?
It is not less unfair than to judge people because they come from a poor family...
@@Furienna Yes, I’d like it to be public knowledge.
I don't know who she is but she is adorable. ok..now I know who she is..i googled her. I am sad that she died though.
Fantastic
My relative rented his East End hall out to the Match Girls protest
Brilliant! Do you know the name of the hall, and does it still exist?
Thank you. How many parts are there?
Rip
I'm an Ellis in East London, its quite possible I'm related to babs.. Its a nice thought, true or not
Very sad to think that Maryanne's parents had to leave Ireland due to the famine, were they were not too bad off with the father being a cabinet maker. To then go to the slums and sell matchsticks
I wish she had children she seems so motherly lol
She talked about having 5 abortions in her book. She really didn’t want children and said she never felt maternal.
What isnt the playlist in chronological order?????
Ellis is my grandmother maiden name on my mom's side
Someone please tell me how she does her hair like that.?.?!
She wasn't shy that she wore wigs, hairpieces and extensions.
Interesting, but it seems like matchbox makers were better off than what I had been taught about matchstick girls.
What year was this
Did someone say he was her husband? Did I miss something here?
Thats what they said.......... 😉
Hes a baby!
@@christinathom5528 he’s lush 😋
@@mutoidliz2320 Creepy swamp creature! Wot else cd we expect, lusting after sme1 else's hubby, not cool, just creepy!
There was a big age gap between them but they absolutely adored each other, and Scott cared for her when she developed Alzheimer's, right up until her death.
And this was the so called Great Britain with it's stinking poverty.
I think the Great here meant size, not quality.
@@Bevity ok
Built on the blood, sweat and tears of the poorest.
Your husband is hot!! You go girl!!🤩
She passed away last year
@@mjb6442 So is he available!😁
@@cynthiablandford6213he's going out with the lady who played rainie in eastenders
'daughter of"...maybe?
Mary Ann looks like she was fairly dark...I wonder if she was of Welsh descent
A celt.
She was Irish, born in cork not uncommon In Ireland, all of the smiths, all of oasis, Kevin Rowland, boy George, jimmy carr, paddy McGuiness, Neil Morrissey, dusty Springfield we're all second-generation Irish born to two Irish immigrant parents. The only light haired one is dusty. The majority of Irish have dark hair usually with blue eyes or green even if swarthy skinned but not always
She looks to be twice his age.
She was.
They absolutely adored each other, and that's all that matters.
Husband? He looks half her age.
He is 😂
And yet, if the wife is a teenager and the man is old as he hills, no one bats an eye. Right? Maybe he married her for her money and she married him for his looks. Quid pro quo.
Good on her..
More like a third!
He had more money than babs had they loved 1 another so much rest in peace beautiful babs 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
this video has an annoying pitched sound
It has to be altered because of copyright otherwise it would be taken down 😁
husband or grandson, I am confused.
Husband she aborted all 5 of her kids
I looked it up, there is a 26 year age difference between them.
@@lindawilliamson4245 I hope not! That would be criminal!
@@mutoidliz2320 She had three abortions in her 20s.and two more later.
She also slept with both of the Kray brothers.
I'd say you were jealous of their long, happy marriage.
She’s never used a computer? And her boyfriend looks like her son. That should confuse her future ancestors...
