Agreed. The Vera/Jack partnership was up there with the greats, Derek and Mavis, Fred and Audrey, etc from the golden years where Corrie was the funniest show on TV. Jack was the patron saint of feckless work shy losers everywhere, and with Vince St Clair Mr Tarmey excelled himself. RIP.

Jack was one of the Coro Greats.
Always watched this programme, and still like it today.
Only soap I do like.
As for Eastenders, God just the Enders tune bores me,let alone the people sitting on that form in the square.
