    How did Gail kow what size shirt to get Les Dennis?


    Also, does he genuinely have feelings for Gail or did he just say that in order to cover for her boys?




    BIB I wondered that, but then remembered undertakers have a natural eye for these things, and considering Gail's buried a few men in her time..............

    There could also be merchandising for adults:

    Ready meals of the residents' favourite foods - Bettys' hotpot, bacon barm cakes, stuffed marrow.....
    A range of Eva's clothes.
    A range of hair products that do absolutely nothing.

    A new brand of Coronation Street Cabbage Patch dolls - I can already envision a Gail one!

    Gail looks more like a pilchard. She could market tinned ones.

    No water or anything. A few years ago at work a Muslim colleage who was fasting asked if anyone would like to join him just for one day. A few of us did. I found the not eating at all OK (although it was only for one day, not sure how I feel for a month) however, I found not being able to even have a sip of water very very difficult.

    You do know that after sunset eating and drinking is allowed?

    Thank goodness I have grandchildren otherwise I'd think you'd lost the plot!! :D

    Yes, I suppose Cbeebies programme references are a bit of a specialised area:blush:.

    However, I DO find the average episode of "In the Night Garden" clocks up fewer SORs than the average Corrie episode!;-)

    Before the gym opened, I think I recall Kal saying that, as a personal trainer, he had about 60 clients, even though he seemed to spend 75% of his time with Just Nick. What has happened to them all now that he is always at the gym ?

    They probably watched his impromptu 'sexy' dance at the bistro's hen night and figured they'd be better off with better trainer.

    Yes, I couldn't wait for the sun to set that day. It was August so it was about 8.30pm.

    Did anyone else think . . .

    . . . . the iron was going to fall and burn Michael's new shirt?

    . . . . Leanne produced Audrey's pasta minus the cream very swiftly considering she'd had to wait 10 mins for the first dish

    . . . . the scene in the café was like a Fawlty Towers' sketch? Quite expected Manuel to make an appearance at any moment. :D

    Yes, Yes, and Yes! All of the above Redpoppy :D

    I remarked on the Basil Fawltyness of the scene to HarkAtHim. Cruel Nick :D

    We could do a whole children's merchandising package for Corrie.

    1. Children's TV programme Belligerence's knock-off Teletubbies version.
    2. A comic like the Beano or Dandy with story page for each character - David the Dastardly, Sally the Snob, Peter the Drunk and so on.
    3. Character dolls.
    4. A learn-to-read series "Look Simon, look. See Peter. Peter is drunk. See Carla. Carla is drunk. Peter and Carla are drunk. Why is Peter drunk? Why is Carla drunk? See Nick. Nick is annoyed. Why is Nick annoyed. See Leanne. Leanne is upset. Why is Leanne upset?"
    Tina would demand her own theme tune of course if she was still around:

    She’s always in every scene, Tina M!
    And her flatmate’s very keen, Tina M!
    You cannot ignore, Tina’s the hero next door!
    Strolling down the cobble streets,
    Goading people that she meets
    Someone could be in a twitch
    So hurry, hurry, Weatherfield’s………

    They could even just replace the characters with puppets a la Thunderbirds.

    Maybe they should have the festival at midwinter, then. As so many other religions do.

    Someone pushing a buggy round with hood up etc so baby (Jake I think) entirely invisible but the buggy was clearly empty when they moved it. How hard would it be to put a bag of spuds in to weight it to look realistic.

    It's always buggedd me when they use substitute babies on TV and they are as stiff as a board. How hard would it be to make a weighted, floppy cloth baby shape (doesn't have to be remotely accurate) with a decent head on.
