EastEnders legend June Brown has appeared in a new trailer for her upcoming documentary, which is part of the BBC's 'When I'm 65' season.

The 85-year-old actress, who plays Dot Branning in the Albert Square soap, believes the elderly are undervalued in today's society.

Watch Brown introduce BBC One's new elderly season below:

In the clip, the star is seen morphing from a young woman to her real appearance in 2012.

Brown is currently taking a six-month break from EastEnders to write her autobiography.

She has played Christian gossip Dot since the serial launched in 1985.

Brown's documentary will air on Thursday, July 12 at 10.35pm on BBC One.

BBC One's 'When I'm 65' season will also feature a programme hosted by former Apprentice duo Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford.
