June Brown was interviewed on the BBC's The One Show and you can watch her Corrie clip in which she sits and chats to Emily Bishop on The One Show website here. (June's bit comes up at 30 seconds in)
June also started a wonderful anecdote about how she was given the role in Corrie by Tony Warren, whom she had met when he was just a small child. She was acting on stage in Manchester and Tony was waiting for her outside the stage door when she came out of work. He asked her for her autograph and she said "Oh, you don't want my autograph, I'm nobody famous," and he replied: "No, but you might be one day."
June wanted to talk more about Tony Warren, and this fan certainly wanted to hear more, but The One Show being what it is, the presenters swiftly shut her up and moved on to more important issues, like jam jars or something.
