thanks, funny they put up series 53, don't really think of soaps having series as they're ongoing

Oddly, looking at the programme numbers, the series seem to run by calendar year rather than November-to-November, as you'd expect for Corrie.

Holby City & Casualty also have series numbers, although they do take a two week break at some point during the year.

Casualty does but Holby doesn't. I've known Holby to have 55 episodes per year, doubling up some weeks. Usually it's 52 with the series number changing over a week around September/October time.

Casulaty is normally aboy 46 episodes a year, whilst Holby, in recent years has also been cut down to about 46-48 episodes a year.

Why November-November, when Corrie originally started in December!

Embarassed I meant December-November.

Apologies, from my part. I thought there may have been some sort of reason!

at a guess 1960/1961 is series 1 so 2012/2013 would be series 53 and we'd be at the start of it,
if it was series 1 in 1960, 2 in 1961, etc then 2012 would series 53 and we would be at the end of it

found a website with a guide to all the brookside episodes on and thats broken into seasons, 70 of varying lengths, which is odd for a UK soap

We are at the end of year 53, since that screenshot shows an episode count of more than 250. Series 1 would be just the originally commissioned first 13 episodes. Series 2 is the rest of 1961, and it's calendar year from then on.

T'was my fumbling fingers that caused the error. Laughing

However, it seems Sky's guide isn't immune to bad episode numbering either . . .

Hour long episodes have previously missed a number (53/240 in this example from 02/12/12). Yet 241 is also missing, but there are two episodes labelled as 242.

I seem to recall from Sky's 'Beta Trial', that we asked for soaps to be listed by broadcast date rather than episode, as this made it easier to choose a specific programme. Series/Episode numbers don't make much sense to 'Joe Public'.

This seemed more important on DEMAND5, where they just have episode numbers for soaps. However, I can't show an example as Channel 5 don't show H&A or Neighbours over Xmas/NY.

Their 'Soap' option is even missing from Catch-up . . . Shocked

Looks like all they need to do now is lay all the bricks and cobbles, obviously, they'd still have lots to do, but it'd look ready Laughing

I think you can tell just by looking at those photos it's a bigger set now it's full size.
