1:03:07 Funny to see Percy Sugden introduced as George Turner. I recall this same actor also appeared in an earlier episode from the late seventies, as an old pal Rita called on for a loan when Len's building firm faced financial troubles. I love the way 'Coronation Street' would recycle actors like this. Peter Dudley who played Bert Tilsley had several bit parts in the show before he landed his leading role. Kevin Webster first appeared as a grotty teenage paperboy who gave Mavis grief in the Kabin, and was warned off by Eddie Yates. Racquel first appeared as a totally different character - a walk on part as a girl Jack Duckworth wanted to rent their back bedroom to, before Vera stopped it! There are no doubt many more examples of actors playing multiple Corrie roles - the Manchester/northern acting scene is a different world to the London one.

@@alexanderjones9572 Now there's a thought, Percy and Emily as a married couple - as religious as she is, I think she might have ended up divorcing him! I didn't know Maureen Lipman had been in Corrie before. Having Googled it, I found the details - she was brought in as Lillian Spencer, a relief manager at the Rovers as you said, in July 2002. Great info! I think I had given up on the show by then, which is why I didn't know! I got sick of the bad scripts and even worse acting. In my view it was 'Coronation Street' in name only by the time the ghastly Battersbys arrived in 1997. Worst soap family ever - and Les Battersby was the worst character, played by the unfunny and totally unlovable Bruce Jones. Producers obviously thought he'd be another Jack Duckworth, but they were so wrong. Jack was a bad boy but the viewers adored him. Battersby had no redeeming features at all - not helped by the fact Bruce Jones is a lousy actor. I had the misfortune to meet him once, as a TV booker - he was really playing himself on the Street, a yob, no acting was required!

It was obviously a verbal 'tic' by the actor Peter Dudley, but I think the catchphrase added to Bert's believability! He was a lovely character who lived for his family, and adored Ivy. She never knew love like Bert's again, he was a gem of a husband who forgave her pretty much anything - even giving birth to mummy's boy R. Brian! Her second husband, horrible one-legged psycho Don Brennan wasn't a patch on him - on or off screen. Peter Dudley was so popular with cast and crew, they loyally stood by him through his trials (in both senses), whereas Geoff Hinsliff who played Don was by all accounts deeply unpopular with the cast. Lynne Perrie as his wife Ivy wrote some very uncomplimentary things about him in her autobiography, there was no love lost between them and having read it I can see why! She claimed he fancied himself as a ladies' man, was always moaning that Ivy was too old for him, and would badger the producers to write in affairs for his character Don as he felt he deserved more exciting storylines. Lynne also alleged he would pull actors' tricks to steal the limelight from her when they were playing scenes together. I just looked at his Wikipedia entry, and noticed that an unflattering line which referenced his unpopularity behind the scenes with cast and crew has been deleted! I also noticed it states he has a daughter who is a national newspaper journalist - and the article was recently edited. Call me Columbo, but I reckon his little girl may have done a bit of editing for her old dad (who is still going strong at '83-84', according to the ever accurate Wikipedia!)
