“These days so many stars have big egos. I never had and would crucify anyone who was rude or selfish. I remember once on ‘Coronation Street’ that we were filming outside and it was freezing. All the extras were stood in the cold for ages and so between takes I would wander over to them and have a chat with them. I don’t mention that for any self-gratification but I just think that is how it should be?”
