EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from June 6th, 1987, two iconic figures of the entertainment industry, Ken Dodd and William Roache, unexpectedly find themselves amidst a sea of Conservative party supporters. The image captures a moment that transcends their roles as beloved actor-comedian and soap opera star respectively, shedding light on their personal political views. Against the backdrop of waving Union Jack flags and passionate rally-goers, Dodd and Roache stand side by side in support of the Tories. Their presence adds an intriguing layer to this snapshot from the 1980s – an era marked by political polarization and social change. Ken Dodd's infectious humor had endeared him to audiences across Liverpool and beyond for decades. Meanwhile, William Roache's portrayal of Ken Barlow in Coronation Street made him one of Britain's most recognizable faces on television screens nationwide. Seeing these cultural icons align with conservative politics offers a fascinating glimpse into their individual perspectives on governance. This photograph not only captures a unique moment in time but also invites us to reflect upon the complex relationship between entertainment personalities and politics.
