I think that Charlie might be a Boomtown Rat. A few months ago Rattrap was playing in his office. i thought it was the radio at the time but possibly a cd or tape!!!! Now with this mention of Mondays I'm starting to wonder. as he's a builder i'm sure that he would have had a bit of paste lying around to have pasted that Bob Geldof poster up on the wall. Age-wise I'd guess he's about 36-38 so would be of the age range to have done the Rat.
Hi Irene Thank you for your e-mail. I've asked around to see if there is a concerted plan to promote the Boomtown Rats on Coronation Street and the answer seems to be no! It just happens to a string of happy coincidents! Best wishes David David Nugent, Coronation Street, ITV Productions.
That story is a bit sick, I have to agree. Even though there isn't a huge age difference between them she's brought them up as though they were her own. It's sick.
I did reply to him, suggesting we could have Bob drinking in the Rovers one night. We know he watches Corrie, as he has mentioned it a couple of times on stage. Well, they have had Status Quo and Cliff Richard, so why not Bob?
I seem to recall something from Is That It? - about you know you're really famous when you are mentioned on Coronation Street. Is that right? Did he say that? Well he knows he's really, really, really famous now then.
The piece that Bob refers to in his book I vaguely remember. It was probably from the very early eighties. Rita Sullivan was looking after a foster child (from what I can remember) and I think there was a reference to the Boomtown Rats playing a concert somewhere locally that evening.
I know that I definitely saw the episode as started watching Coronation Street and listening to the Rats around the same sort of time (October/November 1978).
