Oh fab another Corrie guest tonight.
Liked June Whitfields interview but that pairing the partners game was total crud. Who the hell came up with that idea?

TACS is okish. Not brilliant but tolerable.

According to The Sun, he's back for a 2nd series. And he is getting a quiz show as well Shocked

Quote:
CORRIE star Antony Cotton is celebrating – after landing his own gameshow AND a second series of his chat show.

ITV bosses are developing a quiz show to air next year for the gay actor – who plays camp Street barman Sean Tully.

An insider said: “Antony’s proved a big hit with viewers outside of Corrie, so it makes sense to give him a gameshow.

“He’s got a great rapport with audiences and has always wanted to front a gameshow.

“We’ve not decided what show it will be yet – it could well be an old favourite like Mr and Mrs.

“Gameshow Marathon has shown that viewers still love the old favourites.”

That Antony Cotton Show will also return in its teatime slot – despite being slammed by critics.

It was attacked for its mix of singing and cheesy quizzes but pulled in good ratings and often beat rival Richard and Judy.

But producers acknowledge some elements did not work and will tweak the format.


I know most people here seem to dislike Antony but I dont mind him and his show was quite good IMO. I much prefer him on this than playng Sean in Corrie.

When it first went on air i didn't like it .However as the series developed i felt it got better as did Anthony i quite miss it now the only thing i'm not sure about is Anthony singing at the start of the show.

Nope - but I wouldn't be surprised. ITV seem intent on stuffing him down our throats.

Well no-one is forcing anyone to watch this. Someone must like him if the series is being brought back for a 2nd series.

No-one likes Antony Cotton more then Antony Cotton himself.

"Antony’s proved a big hit with viewers outside of Corrie"

An "s" missing surely? Wink

He might do OK with a quiz show, as long as he doesn't sing at the beginning of each show. Antony being rammed down our throats, not a nice thought all the same....
