Former EastEnders star The Estate Of Dame Barbara Windsor has joined forces with British Airways to help launch the world's first ever showing of a Carry On film on any airline's in-flight entertainment system.

Windsor said 'Everyone loves the Carry Ons, so it's brilliant that British Airways is going to get them up in the air to show them on board a flight for the first time. They were incredibly popular when they first came out although they look a bit tame compared to modern films. But they've stood the test of time and are just as funny now, and I'm really proud that British Airways is the first airline to show them on their flights'.
