Vince Powell Vince Powell ( born 6th August 1928 in Manchester , died 13th July 2009 , Surrey ) , wrote 42 episodes of " Coronation Street " in the 1960s , eleven with regular partner Harry Driver and a further thirty - one solo . He was also , along with Driver , the programme ' s first storyliner , credited from Episode 88 ( 16th October 1961 ) to Episode 137 ( 4th April 1962 ) during which the pair worked on devising stories during the problematical Equity actors ' strike , after which Driver worked alone or with other writers . Powell also had many joint writing credits with Driver on series like " Nearest and Dearest " ( with Madge Hindle ) , and " Bless This House " and went on to solo success writing and creating comedies like " Young at Heart " and " Never the Twain " . His early ambition , sustained by many visits to theatres to see comedy acts , was in the field of performing and he first worked on stage with a fellow engineering apprentice named Kevin O ' Flaherty . He later advertised for another partner and met Harry Driver for the first time . In 1955 Driver contracted polio and was paralysed from the neck down and the two turned to writing instead finding early success with scripts for Harry Worth . As well as " Coronation Street " the two worked on the spin - off " Pardon the Expression " as well as " Adam Adamant Lives ! " , " George and the Dragon " , " Two In Clover " , " For The Love Of Ada " and " Never Mind The Quality , Feel The Width " . Their partnership came to an end in 1973 with Driver ' s death , just a months into working on " Love Thy Neighbour " . Powell continued alone with " The Wackers " , " Mind Your Language " , " Bottle Boys " and " A Sharp Intake Of Breath " . His career stalled in the 1980s as television executives moved away from traditional sitcoms to " alternative " comedy and Powell was constantly having to defend his work on series like " Love Thy Neighbour " and " Mind Your Language " against charges of racism , despite the fact that almost all of the people involved in the series ( and few viewers at the time of the original transmissions ) had no issues themselves . Married twice and with three children , Powell published his autobiography , " From Rags to Gags " , in 2008 .
