I'm having too good a time." Brian Capron toured the Media City Studios set with Helen and looked over the scenes of Richard Hillman's previous crimes, with the two laughing over him telling jokes they'd heard many times before when filming scenes in the garage of No. 8 for Episode 5459 (12th March 2003). Helen's career previous to Coronation Street was covered from her career as a child actress with a clip from her television debut in Z Cars on 1st May 1963 and later appearances in The Strauss Family and Doctor Who in 1971, which she claimed she still receives more fan mail for than for Coronation Street itself. Helen's closeness to her cast members was documented with Jack P. Shepherd telling of the "Team Platt" ritual they all go through when filming scenes in which the family are in confrontation with another Weatherfield clan and an emotional Sue Nicholls revealed that she receives a Mother's Day card from her screen daughter every year. The programme was narrated by former regular cast member Thelma Barlow, the Executive Producer was Mark Robinson and it was both produced and directed by Patrick Talbot. Transmitted opposite EastEnders, the programme gained ratings of 2,252,000 viewers.
