Coronation Street's connection to Richard III

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog November 2012, reposted to this blog with permission.)

With the news today that the skeleton of Richard III has been found in a car park in Leicester, it's time for a blog post revealing the connection to Coronation Street.

Yes, there is one, well sort of.  And I apologise if you came in to the blog in search of serious academic thought on the subject. Regular readers of our blog know we don't do serious very well.

So the connection between Coronation Street and Richard III is Gail Potter-Tilsley-Tilsley-Hillman-McIntyre.

And here's why - Gail might have had five weddings, but she's only had four husbands.

Brian was husband number one, Martin was number two and she married Richard III.

See all of Gail's five weddings with pictures here. 


I'll get me coat.
