British Forces Broadcasting Services radio went backstage at Coronation Street just before Christmas and there's a wonderful video on YouTube now. Interviewed is the Head of Wardrobe who reveals how they pick clothes for a character, how they deal with viewer queries who want to know where to buy clothes seen on Coronation Street and the challenges they face in dressing a character ahead of the season.
Lance said that there are at least 12 people working in the wardrobe team. The video takes a peek into the racks of clothes, which is a real treat as it's something we never get to see. We get to meet Margaret who does all the ironing and has worked on EastEnders in the past. Ever the diplomat, Margaret says there's nice people working on both soaps!
We see thermal underwear for the actors and have a peek into the bra drawer where some saucy secrets are revealed. Watch this fab video, below.
