  • I hope you have your tissues ready everyone because my second TIYL episode for you which takes us back to Corrie is an emotional one. Our subject for this episode is a true Corrie legend having made her debut on the cobbles in 1972. Since her debut she endured drama and heartache by the bucket load, so much so her character's 2 marriages to Ken Barlow alias Mr Corrie William Roache attracted more viewers than either of Prince Charles' weddings to the late Princess of Wales Diana Spencer in 1981 and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005. The character she played on Corrie had a memorable storyline in 1998 when she fell foul of a conman Jon Lindsey alias Owen Aaronovitch which resulted in her being falsely sent down for fraud and thus triggered the memorable "Free The Weatherfield One" campaign which headlined the front pages of the national newspapers and saw the then Prime Minister Tony Blair command his home secretary Jack Straw to investigate the issue. Also fans revived that campaign in 2018 when Sally Metcaffe alias another Corrie legend Sally Dynevor was sent down for similar reasons having fallen foul of another conman Duncan Radfield alias Nicholas Greaves the rebooted Demon Headmaster. Tragically in January 2015 she passed away due to breast cancer but her legacy lives on to this very day at the National Television Awards 2 days after her passing Adam Woodyatt Eastenders longest serving cast member dedicated the show's Best British Soap award to "The Weatherfield One" referencing that famous Corrie storyline. Also that year she posthumously won the Outstanding Achievement award at the British Soap Awards. Enjoy and have the tissues ready for this feature length TIYL which pays tribute to the late great Anne Kirkbride you are missed to this very day Anne RIP.

    As a super fan of Corrie up to about 2005...haven't really watched it since, Deirdre was my favorite character. She comes across so humble, grateful and delightful in This Is Your Life here that I was surprised to read after that Anne was going through a very bad bout of depression at this time and admitted she could hardly muster up enthusiasm for the show and all the tributes and reunions, such was her struggle with depression. Fair dues as you would never guess here. Just shows the lengths people go to to try and portray that they're OK when they're not. Bless her. I was so sad when I heard the news of her passing. Gone too soon!😢

One complaint though, the clip of Another Sunday and Sweet F.A didn’t do her justice, not only is she very good in a cracking TV play but they failed to show she had a fantastic pair of legs.

    I love the way they try to make ‘the Street’ look like a real living street, with extras milling about, during Michael Aspel’s quick piece to camera. Up until the start of the millennium Corrie always worked to make the sets look as real as possible. Including having leaves and bits of litter strewn around. Today, even with a new exterior set, the show is a shadow of it’s former self.

    Beautiful reunion between her and Neville, you could tell there was real genuine love there. You must remember too that this was 1998. It was long before mobile phones, social media, WhatsApp and so on. And the world was a much bigger place or in other words it was significantly a lot more difficult to keep in contact with people back then than today as all we had was land lines (very expensive to ring USA) and the post. America in those days seemed like outer space but these days not so much.
