Thank you; some friends of mine used to live there. I know where you mean now.

I presume they used filmic special effects for the snow which was well done.

I was wondering about that. Seems odd to add snow to an episode due for broadcast at the end of March.

Was it not just the actual weather during shooting?

I would say so. There was a scene with David and Max entering their house and commenting that it was snowing which I guess was added due to it snowing when filming the Red Rec scenes.

When has anyone ever said cakey?


Well, I don't know whether it's all part of a hideously complex and subtle plan to retroactively make it part of the English lexicon, but in one of the new Meerkat idents, Sergei does indeed say "Ooh! Cakey cakey!" as he walks through the doorway of a cake-shop studio facade.

Nice nod back to the 80s a few days back when Tracy mentioned 'listening to her tapes upstairs' to Tony. His was an excuse used for the tremendously long break between recasting the actress who played Tracy. Christabel Finch portrayed her from January 1977 to November 1983, and it wasn't until July 1985 when Holly Chamarette took over.

Gail should have shown Michael a few pictures of Nick throughout the years, as he used to look very different and then even more different!

Loads of in jokes of various levels in that scene, the fact that David did used to look different and the fact that the current David had always looked the same!

I had to laugh at this, maybe all soap parents should have one of Michael's ex-wife's photo albums to compare their children over the years.

Upcoming storyline:
"Here you are aged twelve in 2002, and here you are just after your twenty first birthday in 2005."


I hate how Audrey always refers to her house as Grasmere Drive and not just 'home' . Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I liked that. Because as you mentioned, due to recastings, yes, David did look different too (as did Sarah, Nick, and Bethany of course).

Maybe Ken Barlow should look back through the family albums and see that Peter has had seven faces and his other son, Laurence, was identical to Peter as a kid. Identical.
