I would say it may have been a conscious decision, as a great many TV viewers need to see lips moving to understand what people are saying. If everyone in Corrie land starts face masking, the understanding will be lost significantly. Sometimes, a theatrical truth trumps a logical one.

That's why Subtitles exist.

Would you say the same if they suddenly started obscuring all the audio too? IndigoTucker makes a very valid point, one I hadn't thought of.

It's not just people who are hard of hearing who benefit from lip reading! We all do – and I think many of us with great hearing have had to concentrate that little bit harder to hear people who are wearing a mask. I don't think we all want to be doing than when relaxing watching TV. It's Coronation Street, not Panorama, though sometimes posts on here make me wonder if people believe it is in fact a factual programme.

Well you say that, my mother-in-law has recently been making daily visits to an ill relative in hospital. No masks required in the patient's side room either.

Subtitles are not an accessible option for all.

Oh interesting. I think it’s varying hospital-to-hospital. Though three people mingling in the waiting room like they were a week or so ago wouldn’t be allowed.

There were no end credits on the 26/6/96 edition on ITV yesterday, which is strange, we just got the last few seconds of the theme and straight to the endcap. Is this how it went out originally?

It was the day that England got knocked out of Euro 96 on penalties in the semi-finals. Not sure if that might have had something to do with it.
Or it could be a total red herring.
