Coronation Street

[Bluesince1979]

But there’s novels, films, music, sport…

Yeah. Different strokes for different folks?

I dont watch soaps or reality stuff but dont mind a bit of tv chewing gum to switch off

Escapism

Have never watched a full episode in my life.

Had the misfortune of watching about 15 minutes of Eastenders the other week while waiting.for the next programme.
Is that escapism? If so what are they escaping from?
Every fucker was moody and miserable and "hiding a dark secret"
And does anyone actually work away from "The Square"? Everyone living, working, socialising in a small area and shagging each other too. All in 15 mins!
You'd think they'd kop off with someone outside the area so not to get caught.

Brookside was the only one worth watching and thankfully they knew when to pull the plug.

Jimmy Grimble's girlfriend, so obviously she must be a City fan !!

 

[Lavinda Past]

Corrie's been shite since Susie Birchall left.

 

[give it to gordon]

The last time I watched corry there was always a City team picture the Rovers

 

[Bill Walker]

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

No, it's a suburb called Weatherfield mate.

 

[Bill Walker]

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

[Tuearts right boot]

No, it's a suburb called Weatherfield mate.

But with all the atributes of a major city, cathedral, main hospital, railway station, international airport, motorway hub, container port, corner pub and a mechanics.

They go to Manchester for all that, just like I used to from Stalybridge....well, hospital was in Ashton.

I've watched Corrie since the very first episode in 1960, missed around fifty episodes maybe up to 1977, and not a single one since, due to the invention of video recorders. Yes it does have it''s ups and downs, but overall I love it. Here is the Corrie set with The Imperial War museum peeking over the top of the viaduct. This is never shown, due to the clever use if camera angles.

But what a character Blanche was and delivered her lines with brilliant comedy timing. Corrie was still worth watching in those days.

 

[normskih]

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

Saying that, Vera and Jack were great as well.

Blanche was good also, some lines delivered by her were classic Corrie.

 

[Nellies left peg]

All the soaps are the same now with no humour. Corrie relies on Kirk for his humour and he comes across as a thick ****. It’s supposed to be entertaining but when you have contains scenes that viewers may find upsetting at the start of every episode it becomes not worth watching. The only thing I watch on tv apart from sport is Brassic which is absolutely class

Imperial War museum peeking

Is the Imperial War Museum in China?

 

[Brett Sinclair]

Was much better around about this era, when I was a kid..

 

[Bewar3them00n]

I wouldn’t know, last time I watched it Hilda Ogden was in it!

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Should merge all the soaps into one.



Then blow it to kingdom come.

 

[kaz7]

I still watch it , lost its humour for me and mary annoys the fuck out of me now . I also watch emmerdale and hollyoaks

 

[Stewadda#]

My Mrs watches fucking classic Corrie too. It's only from about 20 years ago does my head in.
