"Like she doesn't already do that," you're probably saying! Well this time, it's Coronation Street actress Maggie Jones that's going to be on screen, at least in the Northwest region.
She's agreed to help the BBC's advertising campaign to assist senior citizens and people with disabilities with the confusion that may surround the switchover to digital television technology that'll happen in November.
Maggie Jones said that the push was "particularly important for those people whose TV is company for them," adding: "Imagine if they couldn’t watch Coronation Street anymore. We can all make sure that this doesn’t happen, so I’m thrilled to be able to put Blanche’s infamous talent for nagging to good use.”
The Switchover Help Scheme is designed for this purpose for people that are eligible for assistance. Well done, Maggie!

This sounds brilliant and Blanche as a character is someone we all take notice of too.
