PLENTY of young actors are just desperate to get into the soaps, desperate to star in EastEnders or Coronation Street.
But first a word of warning from the man who created Dirty Den, the most celebrated soap character of them all.
Leslie Grantham well understands today's obsession with getting famous quickly. But Leslie makes the point that he could never have become TV's Den if he hadn't had a decent grounding in the theatre first.
The theatre is where you learn your craft – and it's where Leslie is now earning his crust, enjoying a three-and-a-half year stint on stage in various productions.
The latest is Francis Durbridge's Murder With Love courtesy of Ian Dickens Productions
