Ben Thompson on bands and Batman

Ben Thompson, who plays Coronation Street's Ryan Connor, plays in a band called Rusholme Ruffians when he's not working on the cobbles. He says the band play songs that "are a bit post punk, a bit Joy Division, but then also a bit Oasis and very Smithsy as well." You can listen to them online here.

And Ben also reveals that he'd love to play Batman.

Back on the cobbles, Ben's character Ryan Connor and girlfriend Sian are plodding on nicely but it says here that the presence of another girl will soon muddy the waters of young love.
