Jan McNulty Posted June 1, 2017 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
Lisa O`Brien Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Sad news. I used to love him and Les Dawson as the gossipy old women. Just fantastic. RIP. 1
mauriceC Posted June 4, 2017 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!
Jan McNulty Posted June 4, 2017 Author 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
