[@NICKROBERTS23]

Bert "you know what I mean" Tilsley was absent from the end of April until a brief appearance in mid July. The actor then suffered a stroke, losing the use of his left arm, thankfully losing "you know what I mean" from his vocabulary, and sadly slowing him down. He reappeared in December 1982.

[@acesigma06]

Peter was arrested in 81 for exposing himself in a toilet and again for public indecency, he had 2 trials, shortly after he had a stroke, which affected his left side, which is covered in a later storyline, a lot of these storylines were filmed months in advance

[@Guitargirrrl]

Sad to read of Peter's demise. I really liked Bert Tilsley, thought he was a great guy!
