Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey) Dies

Passed away in Tenerife.

A piece of the furniture in Coronation Street for decades, not something I watched, but met him once and he was a funny guy.

Yay found the clip nearly got it right Vince St. Clair not Brett (that was Roger Moore)

[lastlid]

I have never been much of a Corrie watcher. My ex wife was. I watched the occasional episode. Seen a lot of the cast around Manchester at various times. And seen the set which is in the backstreets of Manchester, next to the Science and Industry Museum.
