Phillip Lowrie breaks Guinness World Record
Phillip Lowrie, who plays Dennis Tanner, has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest gap between TV appearances in the same programme, which is of course Coronation Street.
Phillip was absent from the cobbles for 43 years between 1968 and 2011 and he talked about this gap when he was presented with this award. He hinted that viewers may soon find out what Dennis was up to in that time as characters from Dennis's past could soon be appearing on the street.
Phillip said: "It was a complete surprise to get this. There was a rumour when I started but I'd completely forgotten about it.”
