Craig Charles has filmed his final Corrie scenes

Craig Charles, who plays Lloyd Mullaney on Coronation Street, has filmed his final scenes.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Lloyd has left the building - and the show.

However, I wonder if he will be returning for the live episode in September.  Hayley Tamaddon, who plays Lloyd's girlfriend Andrea, revealed in an interview with Radio Times earlier this year that  Andrea will leave the show with Lloyd during September’s live episode. 

I'll miss Craig Charles a lot on the show as I rate him highly as an actor and Lloyd's a great character too. 

Craig is leaving to record a new series of Red Dwarf as well as taking his trunk of funk on the road with the Funk and Soul Roadshow, and continuing his Radio 6 funk and soul show, which I love.

Last time Craig left the show for a break in December 2011, Streetcars gave Lloyd a 10-horn salute as the cabs beeped their horns on his exit, as it were.

Let's hope we'll see Craig again on Coronation Street.

Red Dwarf lands on Coronation Street this week

Craig Charles must be in two minds. Is he Corrie cabbie Lloyd Mullaney or Dave Lister from Red Dwarf? Fans of both shows can see Craig as Lister as Red Dwarf makes a return on Dave UK on Friday 10th April.

Dance with Craig Charles in Leeds

Craig Charles, who plays Coronation Street cabbie Lloyd Mullaney, also hosts a fantastic BBC6 Funk and Soul Show each Saturday at 6pm on the wireless. You can listen to his show online too. I always tune in and boogie around the kitchen, I really do (too much information, I know) but the music is fantastic and the show's very laid back.

Well, fans of the show will be pleased to hear that Craig Charles' Funk and Soul Show will hit the road for the first time later this month. The show will be coming live from the Elbow Room in Leeds on Saturday January 31st between 10am and 4pm. Tickets are only a fiver from here, money well worth every penny, I'm sure.

With thanks to Corrie fan Sunny Jim for alerting the blog to this one. Awooga! Awooga! Awooga!
