Coronation Street Actor Breaks Record
Coronation Street actor Philip Lowrie has broken the world
record for the longest gap between TV appearances in the same show.
Lowrie, who first appeared as Dennis Tanner in the soap's debut in 1960 and
stayed until 1968, re-joined the cast in May this year after 43 years.
"I've always been proud to have been a member of the original cast of
Coronation Street," said Lowrie.
"Now I'm doubly proud to be honoured in the Guinness World Records book."

Downton Abbey Writer Regrets Huff
Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has admitted that he
should not have got “the hump” when viewers pointed out a string of
historical inaccuracies in the period drama.
The 62-year-old has been filming a second series of Downton Abbey with Hugh
Bonneville and Dame Maggie Smith among its cast, after the first became a
ratings hit, attracting 11 million viewers for the final episode.
But viewers spotted apparent anachronisms – such as the use of the word
boyfriend, the sight of a TV aerial fixed to a home, a modern-style
conservatory and double yellow lines on a road – in the first series.
Fellowes, the drama’s writer and executive producer, had lashed out at those
highlighting the inaccuracies, saying: “The real problem is with people who
are insecure socially.”
He added: “They think to show how smart they are by picking holes in the
programme to promote their own poshness and to show that their knowledge is
greater than your knowledge.”
Now he has told the Radio Times that it was “sloppy” to have let the TV
aerial slip through in the ITV1 drama.
The Oscar-winning Gosford Park screenwriter said complainants were not
always correct, citing the use of the word boyfriend, which he says was in
print in 1889, so would have been in speech before that.
“But,” he told the Radio Times, “I thought I behaved rather badly by getting
the hump.”
Asked whether he anticipated the drama’s popularity, Fellowes said: “I
thought we’d made a good show and people would enjoy it, but it was
extraordinary. We were playing to something like a third of the adult
population.
“I mean, nobody could expect that level of success, except for Simon Cowell.
It was completely mad.”
