    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!

    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.
