I don't know how recently Liz was in Corrie, but I'm sure Tony hasn't been on tv for decades. The FB generation are more likely to know of Liz than Tony.

I barely remember him.

Yes....he has been somewhat ignored....I suspect that being Tony Blair's father-in-law didn't help !

I can remember sitting watching "Til Death Us do Part" in the 60's, and my Dad laughing like a drain laughing like a drain !

By the way, wasn't Dandy Nichols wonderful !

Peter Pedant

he didnt do much after "till death do us part"
besides be Shree Blair's father - Liar Blair's father in law

In the late eighties I saw him in Manch in a play about Stalker
( John Stalker was completely screwed by his colleagues over the shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland. )

we have moved on - and now you are likely to be shot if you carry a knife.... J Corbyn was asked if he had changed his stance on shoot-to-kill policy a few weeks ago and he looked as tho someone had drawn a knife on him)

He was also in those Confession films with Robin Askwith. That probably killed his tv career

Cloverjo

He had big obits in the papers.

As advised, Ms Dawn's profile as a major soap character actress for decades will inevitably eclipse Mr Booth's from the 1960's/ 1970's.

Mikey you are quite right, Dandy Nicholls' comic timing was a joy to behold.
