Paper boy (Episode 735)

The Paper Boy was a brattish young lad who gave Dennis Tanner cheek while carrying out his round on 31st December 1967. Instead of putting the newspaper through 11 Coronation Street's letterbox, the lad knocked on the door to lure Dennis out of bed. As it was a Sunday, Dennis was none too happy and told the boy to scram, but the rascal carried on taunting him, even after Dennis had shut the door in his face.

After a few moments, Ken Barlow of 9 Coronation Street turned up demanding his morning paper and dragged the boy away by the ear.
