Love Sue Nicholls a wonderful actress remember her in Rentaghost as well as her early appearances on Coronation Street! Absolutely wonderful character!

[@laminage]

I loved how the Ladies were Dancing. It reminded me of One Xmas when I was a Kid and My Mother, Aunts, and Grandmother were dancing to Love Hangover by Diana Ross.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Sue is one of those great actresses you watch that make you go “I wanna do that!” 🥰 Audrey would be a blast to play!

[@zanducktv2398]

Sue’s ace,love Audrey.

[@laminage]

Isn't it amazing you can do a small part on One Soap then become a Legend on another.

[@bambiesdoomsday]

Sue is a true icon

[@jamesriccardo2225]

How charming Sue is as a person!

[@leehambleton9919]

Sue is a true Corrie icon lovely lady as well her character always puts her family first and loves a good time be a sad day when Sue retires from the show she is up their with all the big iconic female characters the show has had

[@ryanscattergood373]

Maxine peacock blast from the past.

[@laminage]

Sue reminds me of Canadian Born/American Bred US Soap Actress Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott #7) The Young & The Restless. She did alot of Episodic TV including Ironside, The Streets Of San Francisco, Kojak amongst others. In fact one of Telly Savalas's Relatives is now part of Postmordem Jukebox who do amazing interpretations of songs.

12:06 oh my god😵‍💫🥺🥺🥺

[@sunflower51]

Strange coincidence that Marc Eden and Alf Roberts both passed away on 01. January

[@cliveevans9795]

She used to be I'n crossroads in the sixties

[@cliveevans9795]

Ken looks like Boris Johnson

[@laminage]

Another amazing Mother/Daughter Duo was Constance Ford (RIP) and Victoria Wyndham on Another World (1964-1999) who played Ada Hobson and Rachel Davis Matthews Frame Cory Hutchins. No matter what happens to them personally they always look out for each other.

[@evani4067]

What the hell is the song at 5:53 called???

[@laminage]

They are also playing The Music Of The Odd Couple by Burt Bacharach & Hal Davis (RIP). As you know Burt's Music was also interpreted by sandie shaw, dusty springfield and cilla black, and I say a little prayer was sang at Patrick & Yolande's wedding on Eastenders.

[@whatonearth9809]

Great to see Maxine back 😍

[@nickyhaugh2390]

15:57 - 16:02 = That was a lie as Norris Cole deduced Richard Hillman long before Audrey Roberts uncovered the extent of his villainous nature.

[@MichaelJirochVisualArtist]

Amazing casting. She has the chin resembling an anvil and yet her daughter Gail, has no chin.

[@JohannaLeigh]

Nigel Avers... I recall him being mentioned by Miss Brahms on Are You Being Served?

[@lukejamesannables794]

Good TV

[@JohannaLeigh]

Nigel Havers..... that name is familiar .... NOW I remember.... Mr. Humphreys mentioned him on Are You Being Served.

[@doreenstallard3265]

Did you forget Maria?

[@JohannaLeigh]

This is going to sound "Well Duh!" Silly,but it's so nice that JackShepherd is Nothing like dysfunctional David Platt.

Girl boss l

[@doreenstallard3265]

She was in holly oaks? Really?

[@charlesschofield4018]

What on earth is the point of having Nikki Sanderson in this documentary? Her role in Hollyoaks is more iconic than Coronation Street.

[@stevenk5672]

What a ridiculous comment. She worked very close with Sue and was in Coronation Street for 6 years

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Are you daft? Candice walked so Maxine could run.

[@rodgerkehl8399]

Barely anyone watches hollyoaks

[@anglodoomer5995]

She worked with her for years

[@ericastones9359]

That’s because this is a documentary about Coronation Street and not Hollyoaks.

[@Mammoth_X1]

Can't stand Audrey the character but as a person I'm sure she's very nice

[@charliedrosario999]

For God's sake, everyone? Why does The Honourable Sue Nicholls infers that she has no children when she's three.

[@prochoicenotantivax119]

how could anyone be on the same programme for 40 years i suspect a lot of soap stars are on the spectrum

[@annmacleod1099]

Your life is a soap opera not mine audrey
