Lady Lawson Loses - TV Times Competition Lady Lawson Loses was the name of a melodramatic play presented by the Mission Hall Players to the residents of the Street in December 1962 . In real life no such play exists and Tony Warren explained in the " TV Times " issue of 30th November 1962 that a fictitious play was used to overcome copyright problems ( No such problems existed when RADA - The Rovers Amateur Dramatics Association - presented " The Importance of Being Earnest " in 1974 as Oscar Wilde had died in 1900 and therefore the play was out of copyright ) . The play ’ s supposed author was either Nugent Hunt ( as stated by " TV Times " ) or Edgar Nugent ( as stated by Daran Little in the book " 40 Years of Coronation Street " ) whose " real " name was Norman Farrar , a struggling playwright from Preston , however the synopsis of the play and the segments that were seen on - screen were all written by Warren , something that he claimed he and the cast had found great fun . The episode with the play , transmitted on Christmas Eve , was one of a long line that ran through the 1960s and early 1970s where the programme produced something more light - hearted in an attempt to join in with the Christmas spirit . This tradition waned in the 1970s and ended seemingly forever in 1986 when the BBC ’ s " EastEnders " Christmas Day episode gained record viewing figures when viewers supposedly thrilled to the sight of Angie Watts being presented with divorce papers by her philandering husband , Den . Back in 1962 though " TV Times " joined in the fun with a competition for viewers to win a prize to travel to Manchester on 4th January 1963 , meet the cast , watch the studio recording and join in a somewhat belated party to celebrate the programme ’ s second birthday ( this was undoubtedly a party for publicity purposes only as the cast and crew celebrated the programme ’ s real birthday as close as possible to 9th December with invitees strictly chosen by the producer , a task that H . V . Kershaw confessed he hated ) . The rules of the competition were that readers had to " cast " the play themselves by matching a given list of characters from the programme ( in effect the regular cast at that time ) with the ten characters in the play . A tie - break question where readers were asked to state the reason why they liked their favourite character was also asked . To help readers make their choice the 30th November issue of the magazine printed the following synopsis : The judges of the competition were the editor of " TV Times " and Tony Warren . The Christmas issue of the magazine revealed that only one entrant - Mrs M . A . Hudson of Newnham on Severn , Gloucester - had correctly anticipated the writers when she named the cast as follows : Another thirty readers had guessed nine out of the ten and of those thirty , nine of them were chosen by use of the tie - break to join Mrs Hudson in her trip to Manchester , a trip that was eventually made with difficulty in the freezing snowbound winter of 1963 and was pictured in the 18th January issue of the magazine .
