Corrie on the wireless

This week I was interviewed, lived, on BBC Tees on the wireless.  I was there to talk about the new Coronation Street colouring book which I've written all the text for. 

The talk turned to Coronation Street in general too, it's fun and there's a lot of laughter.

It lasts an hour.
