How did the Man from U.N.C.L.E. end up on Corrie? Strange times we're living in.  :)

A sentiment I wholeheartedly echo.  I guess a guy's gotta make a living...  Maybe Tony Curtis will turn up in Hollyoaks next?   

Anyway, super-duper smooth work there Bugsda.  May I ask if this is this a one-off or part of an U.N.C.L.E project?

Don't get me wrong, I like Corrie. If Gandalf can show up there then there's no shame in Napoleon Solo doing it too.

I was just surprised that an American star did it. Not appalled or anything, just surprised.

"Corrie" AKA "Coronation Street" is a log-running British soap-opera... from about 1963 onwards, or something. The implication is Robert Vaughan has taken a part on it (as Ian Mckellen did a couple of years ago).

You've got to be fucking joking  :o

Mind you, Callan turned up on Eastenders so there is a precedent  ::)

Beautiful miniatures! :)

You've got to be fucking joking  :o

My reaction exactly! :D

I once dared tell my ex (from the North) that I can't see much of a difference between Corrie and Eastenders... She called her mom and sister and they nearly ripped my head off! :D

And it isn't even a confidence trick.

Mind you, not only did Sir Ian McKellen appear on Coronation Street a few years back, as has been pointed out, but Sir Derek Jacobi said that, now that he's done a Doctor Who, going on Corrie was his main unfulfilled ambition.

Anyway, lovely painting there, Bugsda.  I think Ral Partha used to do a Mr Waverley look-alike long ago, but that'd probably be on the tiny side.  A proxy for April Dancer (The Girl from UNCLE) could probably be found somewhere too.

People walking from house to pub and back while rowing, the only thing difference is the northern monkeys have cobblestones  ;)
