    Yes, seen it a few times before. I love the earlier episodes. It's slower than dramas are nowadays, and more character-driven. I love Ena, Elsie and Annie Walker!

    They broadcast the Friday episode live, then recorded the following mid-week episode straight after so only every other episode was live, at least thats what im sure i read somewhere recently.

    I wish they'd start showing Classic Corrie again, maybe on ITV3.

    It's a shame they killed Ken's brother off screen. He could have came back.

    That's correct. The recorded episode was played as live so there was no editing or retakes.

    I think (but may be wrong) that Uncle Albert is at Number 1 at this point... I think they're next door at Number 3...
