Soap fans can look forward to an extra special instalment of BBC's EastEnders this week, as the long-running drama plans to transport viewers back to the East End of London in 1979. The one-off trip down memory lane will focus on the Mitchell family, one of soap land's most iconic families, with actress Jaime Winstone leading the cast as Peggy Mitchell.
