Coronation Street

[Scottyboi]

Can't believe people still watch soaps.

In real life, the pub would almost certainly be boarded up or turned into an HMO.

But then again, it's a fantasy.

Most mainstream television is poor. X-Factor is a disgrace to musicians and artists.

 

[PinkFinal]

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

 

[Blumooniac]

Drivel, now.
Watch the classic 1970s ones on YouTube. Great writing and characters. Just the right balance of drama and comedy.

It went down hill after Hilda, Stan and Eddie left.

Saying that, Vera and Jack were great as well.

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.

 

[Sale Moor Blue]

Whata Jack Duckworth doing these days?

 

[horlock_was_super]

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?

Escapism

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

 

[Bluesince1979]

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

So he does
