My grandfather, John Baddeley, who has died aged 92, was an actor who had numerous credits across TV, radio, theatre and film.
Among his many roles he appeared in Coronation Street in 1967 as Douglas Preston, who had a brief liaison with Emily Nugent, and as the housing officer in Ken Loach’s celebrated TV play Cathy Come Home (1969), about a young woman’s descent into homelessness and poverty.
