Perhaps you are intimately familiar with the gentle, rolling tones of Mr. Wilfred Pickles, the heady, euphonious singing of Vera Lynn, or the 54 years of plot lines from Coronation Street. I am not. Luckily, the internet was invented. On the following pages, I've provided some general information on a few of the biggest stars and events mentioned by Scannell. Each page contains photos or videos as well as a shortened version of the Wikipedia page for the given subject, some revised to include external research. The subjects covered are Wilfred Pickles, Vera Lynn, Radio Caroline, Coronation Street, Tony Blackburn, and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Click a photo to get started, and check out the other pages for key quotes from the book and Scannell.
