Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Dot Branning
Description	June Brown as Dot Cotton in the BBC One EastEnders episode broadcast on the year 1985.
Source	Screenshot personally acquired by Gungadin and altered by GSorby.
Article	Dot Branning
Portion used	Cropped.
Low resolution?	Yes, so as not to violate copyright laws.
Purpose of use	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject, illustrating a single educational article. It is not otherwise possible to accurately describe the appearance of the character solely through a textual medium sufficient to create a picture in one's mind, so the image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
Replaceable?	As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into the public domain or allowed free use of existing copyright images, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. While a free image of the actor could be found, any such version is not true to the original character as the subject of this article and would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use will not affect the value of the original work that has been published elsewhere on the Internet or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the video.
Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Dot Branning//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dot_Cotton_(television_character).jpgtrue
