Coronation Street Star??? It must be 50 odd years since he was on there. Unless of course, he is one of many who returned. I haven't watched in years but I heard Dennis Tanner came back and he was a mate of Jed Stone (Cope) in the show.

Didn't Minnie Caldwell refer to him as "Sonny Jim"? Or could have been "Sunny Jim?"
