Jan McNulty Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Roy Barraclough has passed away at the age of 81. He is probably best remembered for his performances in Coronation Street (as Alec Gilroy) and as Les Dawson's partner in sketches in his TV show. I used to love his on-screen rapport with Julie Goodyear in Coronation Street. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/jun/01/coronation-street-star-roy-barraclough-dies-aged-81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Sad news. I used to love him and Les Dawson as the gossipy old women. Just fantastic. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauriceC Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Janet, Did you know that he appeared in the Arabian dance in one of the BRB "Cracked Nut" performances? As expected,he made the most of the role but I don' think had to catch the girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hello Maurice and welcome to the Forum! No I didn't realise he had been in one of the Cracked Nut performances. Having seen his performances with Les Dawson on TV I can well imagine that he made the most of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
