Coronation Street

I wonder what the ratings are like now
Decades ago almost half the country watched it every episode

Apparently around 5-6 million. It's still one of ITV most profitable TV show due to the advertising income it generates though TV adverts and product placement in the show

I know it’s not real because there isn’t a Greggs, a vape shop, a mobile shop, a fried chicken shop, a shawarma takeaway, a Muslim convenience store, and loads of other shops closed and boarded up on the high street.

Don't forget the obligatory betting shops, there's always a William Hill and a BetFred.

Just a slight issue - isn’t it supposed to be Salford rather than Manchester?

There’s been a few glod looking women on the Street, hasn’t there?

Can't believe people still watch soaps.

Escapism

I dont understand why people watch shit like love island but also appreciate its escapism

Charlie Lawson complaining about extremely average acting. He doesn't do irony does he!!

So he does
