Coronation Street’s Curly Watts and Reg Holdsworth, two of Britain’s most enduring characters, are being reunited in a special one off episode, A Knight’s Tale. They are joined by Norris Cole, Mary Taylor, Rosie Webster and Jason Grimshaw in a comedy of errors set at a medieval weekend within a stately home. Curly, now a high flying businessman with a chain of hotels under his Armani belt, is giving Reg a chance to prove himself by hosting a medieval banquet weekend at Tatlock Towers. Things get off to a rocky start when Reg hires Rosie Webster as a serving wench under false pretences and sets his sights on Mary Taylor, despite her attachment to poor Norris. A Knights Tale also stars Brian Capron in a cameo as a ‘Dickie the boatman’ and Jeremy Edwards (Holby City, Dancing on Ice) as plastic surgeon Uri.
