Not forgetting the "sat up, brrrroke wind and died" clip they forever show as Corrie's first "funny" moment.

must be hard to trawl through what must be nearly seven thousand episodes to find a few seconds of a scene where somebody says something funny.
Stan asking Hilda what the lipstick tasted like is another over used clip.
Read jean Alexander's biography, apparently when they filmed their second honeymoon they filmed in the foyer of the Hotel but the hotel room was a studio set so it wasn't that romantic for them as they could see the set of their house from it
now with smaller filming equipment they'd use an actual hotel room.

Surely all 6,724 episodes will have been marked as funny, sad, death etc, though i guess its not as simple as that.
From now on, does this mean that the weekend will no longer feature in Corrie, though i assume the second Friday ep could.

I'm sure there are many episodes which are spread over more than a single "dramatic day". The fact that the programme is only going to be shown on Monday, Wednesday and Friday doesn't detract from the existence of a seven day week, or prevent the writers quoting other days for events.
When Corrie was only broadcast on Mondays & Wednesdays I'm sure there wasn't a requirement to make the storyline fit the day of actual broadcast - especially when alot of people clearly watch omnibus editions.

wonder how they look for the clips in corry or tv shows. not in a dramatic episode like when number 7 fell down but a scenes in an ordinary episode
like a scene in the Tilsleys where Brian and Gail were talking and a young Nicky was repeatedly saying 'What's that.' until Brian tells him to shut up and Gail starts laughing.
Another scene in the Websters around 1993 had Kevin, Sally and Rosie having tea and whilst Sally is talking a young Rosie suddenly popped some food in Kevin's mouth, which was obviously unscripted as he looks surprised, but just adlibed a 'thank you Rosie'
How would you begin to find scenes like that.

When This Morning did a "behind the scenes tour" for its DVD of comedy moments (now also Youtube), they had made readily-available copies of the funny moments/episodes from TM.
I would imagine Coro would do a similar thing, making copies of the most popular moments, to be used at a moment's notice.
My point was that they could find things from the past 15 years to show without any bother, so why not things farther back? As Jez said, it's like hardly anything funny had happened before the 1990s.
Humorous things happen all the time in Coro, I doubt you'd have to look hard to find funny stuff from back in the day

Yes the "Woman Stanley Women" is another that is always used. Steve, I didnt realise that about the hotel room being a set in the studio, I assumed they filmed in a hotel in Manchester. Mind you they rarely filmed on location in those days, and didnt have as many scenes on the outside set either, it was mainly the shop, pub and inside people's homes.
When Corrie was on Monday and Wednesday episodes it didnt always get mentioned in the script what day it was meant to be set on and we were just left to concentrate on the storylines rather than what day it was. Sometimes they would mention in the script it was a Monday or Wednesday and occasionally a Monday episode was set on a Sunday.

I'm looking forward to tonight's episode for the first time in a while. I'm really glad Corrie ended on a cliffhanger (quite literally 
) at the end of the last episode.
Although some people may not be in favour of cliffhangers, I definitely think they should be used occasionally, as I think they add suspense.
