Jason Hughes played Welsh Warren in the 90s cult drama This Life. The series was based around 20 something lawyers living in South London.  Warren also happened to be gay. Gay characters as complex as Warren had never really existed on tv while Welsh voices in mainstream UK telly were rare too. So being gay and Welsh presented different challenges for both the character and the actor as Jason explains in this interview with MIM's Ashley Byrne.

It's become a cult classic of the 1990s. A generation of 20-somethings felt a connection with This Life, the late night BBC2 drama about a group of young lawyers living together in South London. It was ground breaking as it tackled everything from drinking to drug taking, sex and sexuality. It launched the careers of Andrew Lincoln, Jack Davenport, Jason Hughes, Amita Dhiri, John Shepherd, Luisa Bradshaw-White and of course Daniela Nardini who played the feisty Anna Forbes. Daniela's been chatting to MIM's Ashley Byrne.....

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ADULT THEMES AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN 

And in next weekend's episode of Distinct Nostalgia, Ashley will be meeting Jason Hughes who played Warren in This Life.

Madge Hindle played Renee Bradshaw in Coronation Street for four years in the late 1970s. The character was brought in by producer Bill Podmore to create an atmosphere of gossip in the local corner shop. She proved very popular and later married Street stalwart Alf Roberts (played by Bryan Mosley). To the anger of fans, the character was killed off in 1980. Here Madge recalls the role and candidly conveys some fabulous anecdotes about both Coronation Street and the comedy Nearest and Dearest in which she also starred. Madge is speaking to MIM's Ashley Byrne....
