I do not watch this crap. Do not see the point. Similarly, why do so many so-called TV people and sports people get CBEs/MBEs for doing their overpaid jobs?
I was amazed at Sam Dingle, I could not believe it was him, oh my goodness, that man is a brilliant actor, he is totally different to his character, doesn’t even look like him. I kept saying to John, that’s not Sam Dingle. to be honest that’s the only bit I saw, where the Dingles were on stage. I do watch Coronations Street but that’s about it.
David, I think the reason some get CBE awards and awards like that because of the charity work they do behind the scenes. Anthony Cotton (I can’t stand his character in Corrie) does some amazing work for mental health. It’s stuff we don’t hear about until the awards come up.
I saw James Hootton and Andy Devine on a cooking competition some years ago. First time I heard his natural voice. I also believe the actress playing Moira doesn’t have a Scottish accent. Jeff Hordley (Cain) also sounds different (saw him on a tv interview)
