Eight Months to Mars - William Roache

William Roache is about to enter his 53rd year playing Coro Street's Ken Barlow, a feat that is recognised by the Guinness Book of world records. Next year he is coming to New Zealand as the narrator in a stage production about The Street, its long history and a few of its main stories. 'Coronation Street On Stage' will play Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch early in 2013.
