Soap followed: Brookside, Family Affairs, Queenie in Making Out and, most recently Coronation Street's Jackie Dobbs. The real Margi Clarke tells it as it is...There's the day she was chatted up by a Beatle; the time 'nurse' Clarke gave Jack Nicholson 'medical advice' with a difference.The laughs behind turning down the Sheriff of Nottingham.Working with The Pet Shop Boys, The Sex Pistols and Paul Gascoigne's striking offer.The day she offered Kenny Dalglish a Match of the Day that can't be televised.
