The Len lookalike was an odd choice of actor to play that role. Interesting that there was no explanation why Len didn't get asked to quote for.the works at number 1 as Fairclough had been the "Jobbing Builder" for many years. Obviously we all know why Len couldn't do the works but strange they didn't weave a few lines in to explain Len's non involvement.

This was the end of the "Golden Age" of Coronation Street. It started going downhill from here. I visited the street in 1990 - the scale was 2/3rds. The interiors were like the tardis - there's just no way the interior scenes matched the exteriors. The street set is one storey, used for lighting and costume stores with the occassional writers offices. At the viaduct end was a huge sound-stage where the interiors were filmed. Had a pint in the Rovers, it was tiny! They used wide angle lenses on the cameras to make the exteriors and interirors look bigger than they were. It wasn't perfect ~ many times the boom dropped into shot but in television history, it's truly remarkable. 📺🇦🇺♥️✨️

She puts the evil eye on any female with a decent bloke with such envy with her twisted face & with her grating twittering Breathless voice which sounds like a 45yr old skinny boney baby & is utterly unattractive & makes her an absurd joke! She was offered a nice life with Victor, with all the things she She romanticises in her one track mind & accuses others of Having what she thinks shes been denied, & is entitled to. Yet when Victor offers her a lovely country home, & all the Affection he can offer & a future full of adventure & exploring but she turns him down With the excuse he won't put a ring on her finger which gives Her the reason to keep up her moaning & whinging, complaining & wanting everyone to feel sorry for her!
