Coronation Street

So, the episode played out with "Rocking All Over The World", while the Corrie end credits scrolled horizontally!

I can't believe they did horizontal credits!

It was so odd! But good!

Lighten up, it's only a bit of fun

Although it was overall a bit silly, there were some good lines from the likes of Blanche and Norris, Chesney "Battersby-Brown", Audreh and Candice etc

Plus, Scrolling credits, that's unusual!

That was a stupid 2 episodes of Corrie - I think it's gone "off the boil". Last week was so good, do the standard of their writers vary so much?

EDIT: The horizontal credits was also a sad explanation for making sure they couldn't use the usual ECP....probably requested by the ageing 70s rockers to make sure they were always on screen.

In a word.........PATHETIC!

It was like an episode they'd do for Comic Relief or Children in Need or something, I couldnt believe my eyes

I'm glad you agree Jez. I expected a backlash from the forum, it's nice to know someone else has same opinion.

I still can't get over ITV not talking over the ending.

That was probably ANOTHER requirement the geriatric ex-popstars made for appearing on the programme!

EDIT: What will it be next, Martin Kemp rising from the grave in a "dream sequence" on EastEnders' Xmas Day Special doing a duet with Gary?

I know soaps stretch the truth on a regular basis, but are we drifting into the realms of "Dallas-style" fantasy now?

Grrrrrrrr

I thoroughly enjoyed it! Their wedding was always destined to be a complete farce - and a farce it was. I think they pulled it off well (but only by the skin of their teeth), and it certainly brightened up the first dark Monday after the clocks went back!

Billy is a bit disapointing, he could've been more of a Terry Duckworth type character - where was his uniform from - a costume hire shop perhaps? Maybe it'll transpire that he's really a Lidl security guard in Woking.

Chill out everyone - it was a bit of fun for a change.

I get the feeling Corrie is becoming controlled by their cameos. Its pathetic! To mention they were all in neck braces was SO awful!

for once the continuity announcer actually had the audacity to SHUT UP

and not tell us what was coming next

Now can we have that as a permanent fixture to the end of ALL tv programmes, I for one like to listen to the programmes music at the end.

found the episodes rather over silly but something EE could never do, like the way cilla threw josh's trike through the barlows window and then made her get away in a stretch limo, stopping off to rob dev's flowers from the shop and getting her dress caught in the car door.

Bet they had trouble filming that limo turning into viaduct street, if you've seen the set you'll know how tight the bend is

final question, anybody see who played the priest who's church they 'borrowed', I've heared from different forums that he was played by either stephen hancock (ernie bishop) or another actor.

LOL, he did look like a Lidi security guard didn't he!

I wonder if Tina O'Brien has it written into her contract that off-screen romances must always turn into an on-screen romance as well. Whatever happened to that award winning young actress anyway?
