For 31 years, Bill Tarmey has played loveable rogue Jack Duckworth in Coronation Street, & on the 50th anniversary of the show he retired with a story to tell. Bill reveals the hilarious japes behind the scenes with the likes of Alec Gilroy, Bet Lynch, Stan Ogden & many more of the shows stars. But there's also the fascinating story of his early years growing up in post-war Manchester turning away from the life of an asphalter, his love of singing in the working men's club circuit lead him to be quickly cast in the role of Jack. ...

Actor Bill Tarmey first appeared as Jack Duckworth in Coronation Street in November 1979, when his formidable on-screen wife Vera dragged him to Brian & Gail Tilsley's wedding, only to have him sneak off for a pint at the first opportunity. After playing what is arguably the nation's best-loved soap character for 31 years, Bill leaves the series in December 2010. To coincide with this momentous event in soap history, Bill now tells the full story of what it has been like to play this loveable rogue for almost half his life. He reveals the hilarious on-set japes behind the scenes
- such as getting fits of the giggles with Curly Watts & Alec Gilroy, what it was like playing the Romeo to Bet Lynch & Dulcie Froggat, plus the more emotional times such as when Bernard Youens, who played Stan Ogden, died. There is also the fascinating story of Bill's early years growing up in the streets of post-war Manchester, with bombsites for playgrounds & an ex-Navy grandpa who taught him how to box. Destined to become a master asphalter like his Dad, Bill never gave up his love of singing, & by the late 1960s he had made a name for himself in the unforgiving environment of the Working Men's Club circuit. Taking work as a TV extra, Bill soon found himself treading the famous cobbled streets, & was a natural in his newly created role of Jack, which has been uncanny in mirroring Bill's own life for its lurches of fortune. Packed with anecdotes to delight both Corrie fans & lovers of British TV everywhere, this warm-hearted & substantial autobiography is THE soap star memoir the country has been waiting for. They will not be disappointed. 19.7 x 12.9 x 2.4, pages 324
