Today it was announced that Roy Barraclough, best known as Alec Gilroy but who also played a number of other Corrie roles including the man who sold Stan Ogden his window cleaning round, will play the role of Narrator in the UK tour of Jonathan Harvey's Corrie! stage play.  He will be on stage in Cardiff, Southampton, Bradford and Malvern.

Other narrators announced so far are Ken Morley (Reg Holdsworth) and Gaynor Faye (Judy Mallet). You can read a full interview with Roy, touching on his career (he celebrates 50 years in show business this year), his Corrie days and the forthcoming play at http://markllewellin.blogspot.com/

I saw the play when it premiered at the Lowry and it was fantastic.  I understand that it now includes the tram crash too!
