Very close to it, yes. This pic that I think I've posted here once before should give you a rough idea of where it was.


*

The blue shape is roughly where the main terrace facade was, the red arrow points at the old viaduct, the green shape is where The Kabin and Kevin's garage is on the current set (and the 1982-2013 set) and the yellow shape is where the old factory (which became Baldwin's Casuals) and community centre used to be.

Article in The Express claims a rare promotional film from the 1970's has been uncovered.
It was to try and sell Corrie to US tv.

Would be great to see it.

Who is the fella in the front row with the dog? Why is Emily Bishop so bright? What is creating the shadows under the first row of chairs? Why is Craig a giant? Etc.

If you look closely at this larger version, it is clearly obvious that Michael Le Vell has been edited in as he is away from the show at the minute.

Because she is a radiant messenger of God.


Strangely surreal seeing Bill Roache back there.

Looking at the full size photo*, it's quite obvious that like the previous group photo it's not completely authentic. So far I can tell that both Kevin Webster (presumably for obvious reasons) on the far left and Steve McDonald on the far right have been photoshopped in.

Not the best photo seeing as those on the left and right have been stretched out.

EDIT: JK08 beat me to it!

Craig does look like a giant and is overshadowing Kylie who is a much bigger character on the show.

It does look like they were sat directly facing strong sunlight by the look of it.

Presumably there's not the distance to avoid using a wide-angle lens.

What's with the awful spacing of the chairs on the front row.

Who's taken the dog in the side shot?
