Biography/Timeline
1931Kenneth Cope was born on 14 April 1931 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England.
1961Cope married Actress Renny Lister, whom he had met when she worked on Coronation Street, in 1961. They have three children.
1965He played Subutai in the 1965 film of the life of Genghis Khan, and in the same year appeared in Dateline Diamonds playing Lester Benson. He also took leading roles in two "Carry On" films. In Carry on at Your Convenience (1971) he played Vic Spanner, the obnoxious shop steward central to the film's trade union and industrial problems storyline and rival in the film's romantic sub-plot. In Carry On Matron (1972) he took the more sympathetic role of Cyril Carter, the son of a thief who is forced to impersonate a female nurse as part of his father's attempt to rob a maternity hospital. Once there Cyril finds love with a real nurse.
1969In Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (1969–1970), Cope played the ghostly private eye Marty Hopkirk opposite Mike Pratt's very much alive Jeff Randall. He had previously had a regular role in Coronation Street as the shady Jed Stone (between 1961 and 1966, and in 2008), and also in the satirical series That Was The Week That Was (1962–1963). He also appeared in three episodes of Minder playing different characters: (Bury my Half at Waltham Green as newly released prisoner Arthur Stubbs; 'Bring me the head of Arthur Daley' as police informer Phelan; and as 'Scooter' in Waiting For Goddard). Cope's appearance in Coronation Street led to the recording of a novelty pop single "Hands Off, Stop Mucking About" with Tony Hatch. Although the song was not a hit it led to Cope being given a regular slot as a disc jockey with Radio Luxembourg.
1975In 1975–76 he wrote three series of the BBC children's television series Striker, starring the young Kevin Moreton and inspired by the local youth football team in the village of Islip, Oxfordshire, where the Cope family was then living.
1981Cope later appeared in the Doctor Who story Warriors' Gate (in 1981), and guest starred in four episodes of Casualty, as well as taking roles in The Bill, Waking the Dead, A Touch of Frost, Minder and Kavanagh QC.
1984In 1984 Cope starred in an ill-conceived surreal sitcom about a failing themed Cowboy village on the outskirts of Merseyside called Bootle Saddles. He played the lead character Percy James, who was passionate about the park despite the poor financial returns. The series appeared to be less of a parody but more a sort of homage to 1950s and '60s westerns, with episodes structured loosely around epics like High Noon and The Magnificent Seven. The characters rarely strayed out of their diegetic Cowboy personas, despite the contemporary setting. The series was axed after one season.
1997In 1997 Cope played dodgy ex-copper Charlie Fairclough alongside David Jason in an episode of A Touch of Frost entitled "True Confessions."
1999From 1999 to 2002 he played Ray Hilton in the Channel Four soap opera Brookside.
2000Cope was offered a cameo role in the 2000–2001 revival of Randall and Hopkirk starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, but turned it down. He did, however, feature on the "Behind the Scenes" section of the Series 1 DVD, wishing the cast of the remake well. He also provided the foreword to a Randall and Hopkirk retrospective book (by Geoff Tibballs), published in 1994.
2008In 2008, Cope's Coronation Street character Jed Stone returned to the ITV soap after 42 years' absence, appearing as part of a storyline involving property developer Tony Gordon. The character was kept onscreen for several months before being written out again.
2014In January 2014 Cope appeared as a character witness during the trial of former Coronation Street colleague william Roache, who played Ken Barlow in the series.
