Coronation Street

Have we ever actully seen anyone USE that function room ?

The mark of a good actor

Yeah he used to be with Royal Shakespeare... he could've mostly played the comedy roles in the Bard's work of course!

I agree the plant-trough scenes were very funny, a great foil to Noris. A welcome distraction from the increasingly tiresome Windasses (IMO).

think the last tme was Brian and Gail's wedding reception in 1979 which due to ITV strikes jumped from August to November in about two episodes

The select was seen a few times after that - Ken and Deirdre's wedding in 1981, Stan and Hilda's Ruby wedding in 1983. Think it was more or less seen on screen until the Rovers fire in 1986.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Select used for Alf and Audrey's wedding reception in 1985?

It was, and that was December 1985 so only 6 months before the fire.

hello stranger

thought you'd know

I liked Simon's asertiveness tonight, comes out of his room all 4 foot nothing of him and demands to know 'what's goin on." like some parent catching the kids having an argument

"I want to Butch. I want to do Butchings"
"Looks like your girlfriend, sounds like your mother"

Ken is naughty isnt he - just proves he will never change. I remember his affair with Wendy Crozier, blimey that was 20 years ago, makes me feel old!



Stranger! Ive been busy getting more autographs and pics with the Corrie cast! lol

Graeme is fab! I should have met him on Thurs but I didnt notice him walking into the studios behind me because I was chatting to my friend, didnt like to call after him as he was with some people.

I did manage to meet Sally Whittaker,Bill Tarmey, Vicky Binns, Reece Dinsdale, Philip McGinley. So happy to get Sally for the 2nd time, she's one of my long time faves. Here my pics;

ok Jez I'll let you off

some good pics there, looks like a few other fans were hanging about with cameras, guess the corry stfaff don't mind, not like eastenders, my friend went to see if he could snap a few of the cast coming and going and got threated with arrest for ASKING the security guard if he could

Good pics there Jez. How often do you wait outside the studios? and is it easy to get pics with the cast..?

I guess it is, seen people there with cameras a few times waiting for the cast,
I remember going down there with my dad when I was about 12 back in 1982 to see the new set which was only just built, wish he'd took a photo
