Coronation Street fans were eagle-eyed during yesterday's (June 18) series finale of Years and Years, as they spotted a quick appearance from Tyler Jefferies actor Will Barnett.

Will's thuggish Weatherfield character seemed to transfer his criminal ways over to BBC One's political sci-fi series, selling a gun to Rory Kinnear's Stephen in one scene.

His official character name? Rough Lad.

Writing on social media, viewers were delighted to see the unexpected cameo.

Meanwhile, Years and Years creator Russell T Davies has confirmed the future of his latest show, admitting that it was always envisioned as "a one-off."

He added: "Even way back in production, it was never discussed in terms of a second series.

"Years and Years has reached its limit. It's just time to stop."

Back in Corrie, Tyler's reappearance on the cobbles is set to create problems for Robert Preston's engagement plans with Michelle Connor.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
