Coronation Street Conundrum

[tourdeforce]

Please can you settle a very serious argument.
Divorce is at stake.

Can you confirm whether Ken Barlow wears a wig or not?

[Ethel]

He definitely does not.

[Ethel]

Here are some photos of him over the years - no receding hairline.

Lots of men never go bald.

[ELVIS68]

Deffo not, it`s a proper head of hair, you can`t have a syrup in the style of his moptop

[afcjan]

I would say no too ...

[tourdeforce]

Ok, thanks folks.

At least my parents won't be getting divorced for now!

Regards.
Mr DeForce

I bet dad says it is a wig - and I bet dad is balding

Ken and hes family was on family fortunes and he had the same hair!!!! Fact he looked excatly the same as ken - even dressed like him haha

I have met Bill Roache on a number of occasions and can assure you he has a very good head of hair and a fantastic personality to go with it.

[tourdeforce]

Dear Ethel.
You are right that Dad says it is a wig.
You are right that he is balding.
But he still wants to bet you 50p that it IS a wig !!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me know your address in case I need to send you a cheque.

[Ethel]

Please send said 50p to Cancer Research. :) In fact, make it a whole �1. Dad is definitely WRONG.

I think Bill Roache looks absolutely fantastic at 77.

I was so shocked at his age I had to go and look it up and sure enough he was born in 1932. I would have put him early sixties, but I suppose he has been in Corrie so long he had to be older.

[No,Knowledge]

it's Blanche who wears a wig.

Betty Driver is 89 this week - she has had a fabulous life with her own tv show, working as a professional entertainer since she was 8. She was a fabby big band singer, too.

June Brown (Dot Cotton) is 82 years old and she looks pretty good too despite the chain smoking.
