Thelma Barlow, who played Mavis
Riley, and Anne Reid, who was Ken Barlow’s first wife Val on Coronation Street, have beein filming a special episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. The show will be on screen in November and was filmed to raise funds for Children in Need.
What I found amazing about the press release here is that Thelma is now 83 years old. I know! She says she doesn't watch Coronation Street any more as she's too busy gardening and seeing friends.
Anne Reid keeps going from strength to strength too. She did a five-night cabaret residency in London last
week and is looking forward to the start of filming next month for a
second series of BBC1’s Last Tango In Halifax.

Thelma and Anne look great, with Thelma looking particularly fabulous.
I love Anne Reid - she is a national treasure in my book.
I'm assuming the older white haired woman is Thelma Barlow. I'm sure I saw her in a Doc Martin episode last night (probably from 2010 or before). Would that be her - does anyone know? She was brilliant.
