No fair play, I can see an attraction Embarassed I prefer Tina O'Brien though but still good none-the-less.

Looks like they are going to be under witness protection again with Martin being nicked for the murder.

Generally I'd say yes but in those adverts i'd say not particularly.

It seems to be standard practice that whenever one of those idents appears the announcer trails tommorow's Coronation Street, it's definally getting the full promo treatment

I know, it's fair to say that ITV are milking this for all it's worth, and I do hope I am not dissapointed. It seems a bit too much though. We have the promo, the ident and the breakbumper. And sometimes, they run the promo and then the breakbumper straight after it, and it looks really weird. The breakbumper's good, but they should take the ITV1 logo off, as it just looks like the ident's coming on again, and when the ident is on, the announcer rarely, if ever tells you what show is coming on next, just that 'Friday 4th March will be murder.' Anyway, I am looking forward to tomorrows episode, and thanks to ITV1, I won't forget it's on.

I did hear the Scottish announcer on ITV1 up here in the north say about Coronation Street and then about nudity coming up on the next programme (which I was forced to watch I may add).

Although a bit overkill I do like this Killer Katy thing, but I think it would have been a better idea to have different break bumpers than the ident and promo. Perhaps a close up of a blood stained spanner or whatever she hits him with.

I think they've gone about it the wrong way promoting it as Killer Katy - especially as it is not a premeditated act.

It would have been far more interesting if they'd gone at it from the angle of "Murder - who kills who?"

That way along with Katy and Tommy you can bring several more characters - including Martin, Kevin and Sally - into it and create a bit more of a mystery (even if we know who is going to kill who!).

After this week's episodes so far I think it be far more plausible for Sally to murder Tommy than Katy!

I agree, a who did it would be much better. I think ITV are going OTT with all these trails, idents and break bumpers for Killer Katy - are they that desperate to make sure the viewers tune in?

Great music on the Killer Katy idents!

Two great lines so far in this corrie:-

"You drop dead..." to Tommy
and Tracy talking to Ray Lancton,
"I was always upstairs playing my tapes...."

Great stuff!
