I stood near the set when I was there in 2013, just feet away. I went in the MOSI, up the Beetham Tower and could see the set in full from the Beetham Tower. And I could see the back of Dev's shop when I was at the gates where the cast come out and in.
I had the misfortune of seeing a very rude Anthony Cotton there when I spent 3 days in Manchester.

Heard this morning that Liz Dawn (Vera Duckworth) has been rushed to hospital in a very serious condition. She has been confined to a wheelchair for 4 years suffering with emphysema, a lung condition. So sad. She is only 74. I loved Jack and Vera. Great characters and gave us lots of laughs.

My heart sank when I saw it last night too Lou. It will be a blessed relief for her when she does give up the fight, but what a massive blow to millions of her fans. Myself and hubby included.

Has she actually given up the fags? I was told she carried on smoking even after the emphysema diagnosis.

Forgive me guys for I have sinned... I really don't know how you are all going to take this... But here goes...
I was near Salford Cathedral today... And the funeral of Liz Dawn was just about to start... When who should walk past my car...
Only MyKirky and Fat Fiz... In kicking distance as well...
And I let her go on her way unscathed... Mo would be furious with me if he still posted here... Sorry guys...

What the pictures don't show are the crowds that had gathered to show their respects... Or gawp at the "celebrities" in other words...
They closed one lane of the dual carriageway on Chapel Street where the Cathedral stands... They put up barriers to stop the crowds spilling on to the other side of the road... They had security men on either side stopping Joe Public from walking down the pavement near the Cathedral...
I was gobsmacked at the turn out... Or the lack of it... The local radio reported it all excitedly as a few dozen... And that was being optimistic...

Also worked on early Series of New Tricks which was a very good show for about 5 years.
Would have loved to have seen SOC snapped up by the rivals but he is supposed to be busy with a film?
