I have never been north of Tower Bridgde, but......

The Road to Coronation Street was brilliant. Well done, Daran Little. Beautifully written and acted, especially by David Dawson and Lynda Baron. In the 1960s Corrie reached out to the nation, not just the north (thank you, Tony Warren). I have never been north of Tower Bridge but I have watched Corrie regularly since I was a little kid growing up in a working-class home on a council estate in Peckham. My earliest memory is Martha Longhurst dying of a heart attack in the Rovers Return. I had never seen a person die before. I was six and I was horrified. I thought she was really dead! For years, when I was growing up, Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden) and the magnificent Doris Speed (Annie Walker) were my Dame Judi Dench and Dame Peggy Ashcroft!
