Coronation Street

I think you're right about it being the Royal Variety, although I'm not entirely sure.

As for Ena and Elsie - this clip is one of my all time favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btDd5qDj7BA

Great clip - Ena and Elsie, Corrie legends!

I agree but since the 1990s they seem to have done the cast in order of appearance on the end credits.

In the 1970s and 1980s Ithink they more or less had it in random order - when Elsie left she was 3rd on the closing credits.

eastenders credits show the characters in the last scene first

Looking forward to Jane Danson's return to Corrie this evening.

They also only list character's first names, which I always think looks like a kids tv show

history cock-up, Ken said Simon didn't go to his Mam's funeral but Simon said he did when he spoke to the social worker back when the character first appeared

Liked the mentions of PCBH in tonights Corrie

I don't know about anyone else, but besides the 'Barlow's Funeral' bit, I didn't have a clue what was going on with the rest of the episode, why was everyone singing, talking in silly voices and waving canned food around?

"I know this might sound bizarre, but can I borrow a shovel?"

That doesn't sound bizarre. That sounds like quite a normal request to me.

maybe the script writers found the drugs Hooch lost

it was a bit odd wasn't it

location note: the gay bar was up the fire exit from the bonded warehouse and studio tours exit

Loved the oh-so obvious product placement with Theresa and the can of Spam...
