It has been spelt wrong by the Gazette in every story regarding this event — can I recommend a look at the credits at the end of tonight's Corrie episodes to show that the actor William Roache spells his surname with a final 'e' and has done for all the 47 and a half years he has been in The Street.

"Roy Hudd will also made his first appearance in Blackpool after 50 years in showbusiness!"

Maybe they'll edit the above too - does make one wonder if a) they employ sub-editor, and b) if they do whether they, in turn, have ever attended an educational establishment...

However, par for the course for the Gazette.

There are some very bored people who like to whinge on this site. Oh no, I'm doing it now.
