One of Victoria's best sketches.

"Off up to Scotland. Come back after twenty years without so much as a Scottish accent."

No matter what happens with Peter Barlow, this line is always in the back of my head! It's brilliant!

Brilliant! I never tire of watching this sketch. Thanks for posting, Flaming Nora.

Thanks for that, Nora. Brilliant she was. Read that her father Stanley wrote a bit for Corrie and found it was one episode in 1972.
