Hi, can somebody please tell me if there is a link to view the Christmas TV listings for Granada Plus.
I was interested to read on the Corrie thread that there will be a Coronation Street Day on Plus over the festive season. Plus usually show other great programmes over Christmas, I would like to see what Plus have in store this Christmas.


I got the information you mentioned from the Granada Plus Press information site. You have to register, but it gives you details of December highlights there, click on the link below.

Also mentioned in the last page of the thread was a one hour ep of Coronation Street due soon on Plus, which co-incided with Eldorado's launch on BBC 1.

That one hour episode of the Street was shown at 7.00pm on Monday, 6 July, 1993. (EDIT: I meant 1992 - thanks James). It was actually two single epsiodes shown together, and as such when they air on Plus, they will be showing the individual episodes on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th November.

Details of Coronation Street episodes to come on Plus haven't been updated for a while on Corrie.net, but Plus' own website usually carries episode details for the month ahead, although take no notice of the episode numbers, they correspond with Plus' own screenings, e.g. when they showed their first regular episode from April 1976, although it would have been ep 1588, it was Plus' episode 1, so subsequently, we are now on about episode 3400 on Plus, but it is their episode 2400. This can be a little confusing, as their Emmerdale episode details correspond with the actual Emmerdale episode number as originally shown on ITV, even though they didn't show Emmerdale from the beginning.

So is this the Channel which they are going to call ITV Gold or will this carry on as Plus TV?

I have to say I hope PLUS does not change to ITV GOLD. Plus is great how it is now. I love the idents, announcers, Trailers etc.
It will be rubbish if it turns into ITV GOLD. It will probably have the ITV announcers recording announcements and I bet they will be rubbish. The announcers on PLUS now, including the very very good Gary Tazza from Channel 4 are really good! The plus dog is not too intrusive too! Anyway, if it turns into an ITV Branded channel, everyone will expect it to go on FREEview, Just because all other ITV channels are on freeview.
