Ken Barlow Tutors David Platt

Ken Barlow is going to take young David Pratt under his wing when David gets bullied at school and the headmaster at David's school gives him the rest of the year off. (eh?! when did that start happening? I had my head pushed down the loos twice as a young teen and none of the teachers gave me any time off!). Ken, played by William Roache will tutor David at home and try to instil some discipline into the wayward little so-and-so. It comes as no surprise to hear that Ken does the right thing - and this leads us nicely, if not a little clunkily - to say it's because William Roache is a supporter of Merseyside Crimestoppers and will be a guest at this year’s fund-raising dinner on June 28. So, if you fancy a night out to support a good cause, you can buy a ticket for £50 by calling 0151 2271234.
