STREETWISE

Who is that svelte young man lounging outside 'The Rovers Return' on Coronation Street?

Street-wise
Can it be? Yes, it is!

This delightful relic from the past was excavated by my good friend and colleague, Malcolm Prince, with whom, back in 1998, I made the pilgrimage to Weatherfield as part of a radio series we were making for BBC World Service on the history of the soap-opera, entitled, To Be Continued...

Obviously, in the succeeding years, I have consumed rather too many of Betty's hotpots!
