RICHARD HAWLEY’S TV FAVOURITES

Comedy Last Of The Summer Wine, in memory of Peter Sallis who died recently. It was achingly beautiful.

Drama Boys From The Blackstuff was a great piece of political writing, and a warm, humorous but tragic lament for working-class life.

Sport As the nation watched on TV at home, I was actually at Aintree when Red Rum won his third Grand National in 1977. I love that animal.

Documentary The Up series, which has followed the lives of a group of people since they were seven up to 56 most recently. There’s real power in watching stories unfold so gradually. Gameshow Family Fortunes, if only because host Les Dennis shared my dressing room when he was in Corrie! Entertainment Anything with Ant & Dec in – so pretty much everything!
