Betty Marsden


Is this the one and same who played Betty Turpin on Corrie? Who appeared to weigh about 10 stone heavier in the Rovers? Just noticed that Betty has fantastic legs in "Camping" - better than Babs and Co even!

No, you're thinking of Betty Driver, who has played Betty Turpin in Corrie since 1969!

Betty Marsden played all the female characters in the classic 1960s radio comedy series "Beyond Our Ken" and "Round the Horne", opposite Kenneth Horne and Kenneth Williams.

I was surprised how nice Betty Marsden's legs were in the film. Perhaps it was due to all that tandem cycling she did in the movie.

Listening to Betty in those radio shows at the moment. What a wonderful talent she is, the best
