Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted September 26, 2017 I remember that either the night in early 2008 when Liz Dawn's last episode of Corrie aired or on the day it was announced she'd be leaving the show (I think it was almost certainly the former) Tony Booth giving an interview about it on Channel 4 news. He was singing the praises of the old style feisty northern battleaxe female characters in Corrie and how they were sadly becoming a rarity. He gave huge praise to Liz and how she made Vera Duckworth such a unique special character. He ended the interview by saying God Bless her. It was really sweet and when I realised they both died so close together I almost immediately rembered this interview and felt the fitting ironic poignancy of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted September 26, 2017 Tony Booth gives me my 14th hit of the year. I'm too young to remember most of his stuff, but given his recent health problems this is a blessing. The added bonus is that we may be spared Tony Blair's opinions in the media for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,535 Posted September 26, 2017 Along with Liz Dawn this moves me a little bit higher in the DDP. I got woken up by my phone buzzing with an alert to say that Liz Dawn had died. While I was reading the news, it buzzed again with the news that Tony Booth had died. Sad news indeed, bu glad to hear that both are no longer suffering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funniest thing about that pic is that it was taken at the Labour Party conference as Tony Blair (then PM) was called to the stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
