Corrie at 60: Bruce Jones on playing Les and the chaos the Battersbys caused over the years
Show Notes

Bruce Jones played Les Battersby for just over 10 years. He and his family caused something of a revolution in the Street. They'd never seen anything like it! Les annoyed the fictional residents of Weatherfield and fans alike when he first moved in but over time Les, Janice, Leanne and Toyah won the affection of Corrie viewers. Here Bruce remembers the early years and some of the contrasting funny and very serious storylines - from winding up Ken to Les's suicide attempt.

And don't forget Distinct Nostalgia has a plethora of treats in store for you during Corrie's 60th birthday month. Stay tuned! And remember to look through our archives. Trawl through the player where you will find a catalogue of interviews and hours of Street history.
