Back in the summer of 2002, the wonderful Maureen Lipman appeared in Coronation Street as the snobby Lillian Spencer, complete with a feckless son, Timothy, and an equally snotty daughter, Danielle, pictured here. She started as she meant to go on, barring several of the regulars and installing her own children's feet under Fred's table. However, she regarded the Rovers as far beneath her and when Fred intimated that they could take their relationship one step further, she gathered her children and her mynah bird, Dinah, and swept off for parts unknown. Marvellous stuff!
