Coronation Street

I loved it when Emily and Reet were struggling to hide their laughter at Norris' "perfect Bank Holiday visits": The Lawnmower Museum, Barometer World - and the Cumberland Pencil Factory ("Why go all the way there to see pencils when we've got a whole shop full across the street?").

For those interested, the Cumberland Pencil Museum, The British Lawnmower Museum and Barometer World are all genuine tourist attractions!

Kirk got a lot of abuse in yesterday's epi:

Fiz: "Kirk so boring, paint watches him dry"

-and-

Noris: "The brain never takes a holiday"
Amber: "That's not true: Kirk's brain has been on a deckchair in Blackpool since 1999"

He probably deserved it, wearing a t-shirt saying: "It's hard work being this good-looking"

There are some very, very disturbed people in this country.

Take it you have never read B*ll*cks To Alton Towers then? Uncommonly British days out according to its authors (Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris in case you are interested)

Watch the Richard Hillman (where he tied up gail and the others) car chase again:

Boy has Kevin changed over the years!

Interesting that they did special opening titles from that episode. We also got longer than usual closing titles on this episode with the full theme - shame we never get the full theme these days.

Yeah, It was nice to hear the full closing theme, I bet ITV would be cross if credits went on for that long these days.

too right, 1 minute and 42 seconds of closing titles, that's almost a third of a comercial break, think of all that advertising revenue you'd loose
