Witchhunt?

Peter Adamson, he himself was convicted of touching up boys.

My mistake, it was young girls but the charges were dropped. Sorry to the late Peter.

Don't think the charges were dropped, he was found not guilty in court. And later gave an interview saying that he had done it...

Hmmmm. So two people who's characters in the show had a dislike for Ken Barlow warned her off. A bit of life and art getting mixed up?

No, only Peter Adamson allegedly. Johnny Briggs wasn't in the show at the time.

The point I was making was that when Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin who hated Ken Barlow) was ruled out as the person who warned her off, she switched to Peter Adamson (Len Fairclough who hated Ken Barlow).

Just wondered if there was anything in the fact that both people she named played characters who hated Ken Barlow.

Did Len hate Ken? They certainly once had a punch-up in the Rovers but I'm guessing that most male characters have had at one time or another...

I warned caution on all this nonsense from Day 1. It is a classic British knee-
jerk reaction to Saville. As I always tell anyone who will listen, the British
are considered often as cold in sex matters. They are. But they are always
very passionate about so called "morality". Trying to create cases where the
famous touched-up a girl, or even rape is implied, after 40 or more years is
silly. I know that view offends some of you. But its true. These kind of cases
need a statute of limitations....
