Coronation Street's Bet Lynch comes clean
If any Soap character deserves legendary status, it is surely Bet Lynch. The Coronation Street barmaid was a hit with audiences from her first appearance in the 60’s right through to her recent comebacks. Bet was glamorous and sassy and she had a glint in her eye and a sharp word for anyone who dared to take her on. Bet’s on-onscreen shenanigans were matched by her off screen lifestyle, and for years Julie Goodyear, the actress who brought Bet to life, was front page news. Now Julie is back. In this interview she talks about what it takes to be a great soap character, her fondest memories on Corrie, the stir caused by Bet’s marriage to Alec Gilroy, and also a new “super soap” she is appearing in featuring a star from the street’s great rival, Eastenders.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.
• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves
Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.
• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake
Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.
• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing
Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
