Get the look and build yourself your own Jack Duckworth style.And here's a little quiz. How much do you know about Jack Duckworth?

A. What was the name Jack used when he dressed up as a woman to join the ladies' bowling team?

B: What year did Jack and Vera take over the Rovers Return? Where did the money come from to enable them to take it over and why did they leave?

C: Which two major Corrie characters did Jack have affairs with while married to Vera?

This is great, I love Jack and will be sorry to see him go. I presume they will kill him off and then it gives cause for the past characters to come back for the fiftieth anniversary.

1. Ida Fagg
2. 1995. Jack inherited money from deceased brother Cliff. Became bankrupt and sold it to Alec in 1998.
3. Bet Lynch and Dulcie Froggatt

Gee, Jack didn't look all that bad disguised as a woman! Wonders never cease on the Cobbles!

Eee, I remember Dulcie Froggatt! She was Jack's "bit of spare" in the mid-1980s. She also bedded Terry! What a hussy! :)

I don't remember Dulcie Froggatt, more's the pity! I will really miss Jack. Another of the old guard, gone.
