Charles Lawson, who played big Jim McDonald, is treading the boards in Scotland in Educating Rita.
There's a great interview with Charles here in which the * key is in danger of being worn away as he says: "Stage acting is a very different discipline to being part of a TV drama such as Coronation Street. This play only has two characters and we're on stage for the duration of the piece. On TV if you f*** up you get the chance to do it again. With Educating Rita, if you've finished a scene and it's b*******, it's b*******. You have to get it right on the night."
He also says he'd go back to work on the Street in a minute..."I miss Jim and I miss the cheque". And there you ****ing well have it.
Educating Rita runs from February 11 at the Citizens Theatre Glasgow. More information here.
