Woman at Nightschool (Episode 3276)

The Woman at Nightschool was one of Alma Sedgewick's classmates when she signed up for evening lessons in Conversational Spanish at Weatherfield Comprehensive in 1991. Like many of her classmates, the woman found the subject difficult due to tutor Senora Robinson speaking entirely in Spanish. As one lesson drew to a close, the woman asked Alma for a translation of Señora Robinson's instructions as she left the room. The ladies could only decipher enough to know that next week's lesson was starting at 6.30pm instead of the usual 7pm.

Outside the classroom, Alma compared notes with Ken Barlow, who was taking a wine appreciation class across the hall. Alma's classmate was impressed to see her strike up a conversation with a presumed stranger and came over to grill her when Ken moved on. When Alma explained that Ken was a neighbour, the woman told her to move over if she didn't want to snaffle him as he was "quite dishy". However, it wasn't to be as Alma went on her first date with Ken that evening.
