Sir Ian McKellen in the character of Mel Hutchwright / Lionel Hipkiss sending his congratulations.

"Hello, my dear Audrey, it's Mel, remember?" he started. "It's been a century since I've been sitting in your chair in your living room … but I still hear the clipper's claw slicing off near my follicles.

"In fact, I will never forget those magical moments of pbadion: share a joke in the back room of Rovers Return and leave you without legs on the cobblestones."
