It was so cheesey seeing the tram driver, surely he wouldnt be sat perfectly in his seat like that
There's an effect with Tower Cranes Drivers, Drivers and Banksmen call 'toes in the window'
When the wind blows hard or when a heavy load falls out of a boatskip very quickly for example.
The whole Crane rocks backwards and forwards.
It's an involuntary reaction they put their 'toes in the window' as if they can hold it up with their feet and push against the ground even though it's 40+ metres away.
Driver I know once pushed the bottom window out of the cab doing it
Not worth the bother - the EE fire at the Vic was far better because you had no idea from start to end who would survive i.e. Stacey, Peggy, Ryan. Corre tonight was just a concept to create an effect anti-climatic and why it now has to be dragged out over the rest of the week as to who will survive I don't know? Doesn't Gail come into it even though she was nowhere to be seen tonight. Oh and I'm sure Network Rail or the Manchester Metro are most concerned that ITV have made it look like they don't know how to protect their viaducts and rail lines being melted from nearby buildings exploding. Oh dear what is there left to say? Jolly good try though Phil good on yer chap!
The EE fire was badly acted rubbish and I don't think anyone seriously believed for a second anyone was going to die.
It wasn't simply the crash that made these two episodes fantastic - it was the build up. The plot lines, two relatively unpopular ones bought to a head in a way which is being applauded by many; the pace of the programme- short, sharp scenes; the almost amateur way it was filmed worked for me, it gave it more of an edge that if it'd been filmed 'cleanly'. the train approaching was chronic but once it'd crashed it was brilliant - especially the carriage rising in the air and slamming into The Kabin.
A great start to the week - let's hope it can continue in this way through the week.
Except in life in reality it doesn't happen with such timing. It would have been more realistic to have had a normal quiet day in the street with the regulars in the Rovers, Leanne not cheating on Peter, John Stape not in contact with Charlotte and Tyrone and Molly playing happy families and the tram crashing into the shop.
Before persuing the thread I would like to say that dedicated fans just of EE should not have been allowed to vote.
That would mean one less 'brilliant' vote, as I'm a 'dedicated fan of just EE' (though I do enjoy Emmerdale), and haven't really watched Corrie since Mad Maya (that was such a great week), but I voted 'brilliant'
Also this is what I was talking about in another thread, anyone who disliked the episode, and dares to have a different opinion must be an EE fan. It's ridiculous.
Haven't watched Corrie for ages but it was good tonight. The special effects were a bit iffy but its soap, so understandable.
This is what a lot here are forgetting, like with soap's other (admittedly smaller) uses of CGI, usually naff pyrotechnics and oddities (characters never being employed more than a street away, everyone drinking nightly) you had and have to suspend belief (you have to to enjoy soap in general, if you questioned every tiny detail and barked at every as-if-ity you'd fail to enjoy most if not all episodes).
,,,,,and whilst I'm having a grump - does anyone else think Jack P Shepard's hair looks strange? Or is this the latest fashion? I'm afraid his facial fuzz does him no favours either. :rolleyes:
What I loved so much about Corrie tonight was the character-centric build-up, and I know that's how it will carry on for the rest of the week.
The explosion and the crash came at the perfect time when the tension was at an intolerable high - residents scattered, emotions frayed, murder in the living room!!!
The aftermath will be unmissable and I absolutely cannot wait.

This is a television drama and the writers did a wonderful job of setting everything up across the two episodes. That is what drama is about.
And in real life a tram most likely wouldn't crash into the corner shop...
I thought both episodes were brilliant! The best performances the actors playing Molly and Tyrone have ever given.
Of course, all everyone's gonna be talking about is the crash effects, and I thought they were really great for a soap. They actually made it scary when it was coming off towards Molly, it felt real with her reaction to it. The other car smashing down on the Kabin was way over-the-top (especially with the groaning sound effects!) but still believable.
All involved should be given a huge pat on the back! Loved Ken standing at the end like Jack Bauer!
I laughed not because it's bad quality or anything, just because i'm evil.
CGI was decent, people were proberbly gearing up to say it was crap before ever seeing it anyways
I do get the impression that like whenever a big episode of Doctor Who's on, some people who never usually take part in the discussion threads the rest of the year round and appear not to watch the show, tune in to have a laugh and to mock (very few genuine fans and regulars to it's section post in the Doctor Who episode threads because of this).
It's far more laughable than that which they're mocking.

So what would would you plan to happen before the crash? Sod all? There's always been natural progression in plot lines before a huge event.

It was used for the wreath.
I always thought he was a cowboy builder the whole "I'll finish underworld in record time" made me think he was!!
Of course not. It's similar to when you need a screwdriver and have to use a dinner knife.:rolleyes::cool:

Some of them were always going to criticise it though I'm ignoring any of the threads they make!
I am also hoping for a SULLA quote this week!!

NO - it just looks so obvious and somehow doesn't match the rest of his face. :rolleyes:
Haven't watched yet, taped it, was the Camberwick Green Clown in charge of turning the roll?

Again, that's a film, this is a cheep and cheerful British television soap.
Thing is...he's so up his own posterior he'll think he looks fab!:rolleyes:

Agree 100%, good summary
OO-ER missus!

HAHAHA. This was better than Bay's work.
I *explosion* can't *explosion* stand*explosion* that*explosion* man. *explodes!!*
