Corrie's Celebrity Cash in the Attic

Roy Hudd, who played Archie "Five foot eight, if I'm not mistaken" Shuttleworth on Coronation Street, sold off Coronation Street memorabilia for charity in the new BBC series of Celebrity Cash in the Attic.

Roy took over the rostrum to auction off the latest signed group photograph of the Corrie cast, a hat belonging to Fred Elliott and a blouse worn by Blanche Hunt which sold for £190 to loud applause. Auction-goers laughed as he took time out to regale them with Corrie anecdotes including the time he fainted during one of his last scenes with John Savident who was supposed to be lying dead in a coffin - but scrambled out to get him a glass of water.

I'm not sure when the programme will be broadcast on TV but if anyone finds out, do please let me know.
