A screenshot of the new part of the Corner Shop
http://i.imgur.com/u9cPUh5.png For me, the best layout/era was the late 80's when it was Alf's Mini Mart - bright, clear & stylish for it's time. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Corrie should have taken the move opportunity to re-style the Corner Shop by actually building it into the outdoor set (like EE's Minute Mart) using a fake wall between that & No13 & a fake wall in the flat entrance for camera access angles. I'd have put the shop door back on the corner, had see through windows & just cleaned it up a bit. |

Since the tram crash, that Corner Shop has been a complete mess - awful lay out & style....Alf, Reene, Florrie Lyndley, Maud Grimes, Brendon Scott & Fred Elliott would all be spinning in their graves if they could see it now.

And I fully agree that Coronation Street dropped a clanger by not including fake walls to allow for the interior set to be included on the backlot. In fact sets such as Emily Bishop's and No. 13 should be on the backlot seeing as they rarely frequent our screens! |

Victoria Court Area?
Pity Steve isn't setting this up, they could have called it Gym Mcdonald ![]() ! Yes, it appears the gym set is going to down from the Victoria Court flats where the wooden facade on the backlot is (rather than a road down to the tram stop and strip club/casino is now.)

Chesneys house is a new set.
I'm sure we've just seen the new street, with the Todd, Eilean, and Maria scene...I seen two cars pass? |

Pretty sure some of the scenes in Chesney's house were single camera too- I'm sure they wouldn't have been able to shoot from so many angles on multi-cam without getting other cameras in shot.

The jumbo-sized Bistro in the background gave it away to me.

Sadly the camera never showed the Rovers, which would have given things away with its extra upstairs window.

I dont think that was the new set tonight, the lamposts were on the kerb, whereas on the new set they're next to the garden walls. Plus the street is wider still than what was seen tonight

New angles in Chesneys tonight. Weird actually.
Plus so much more room in Eileen's front porch by the stairs. |

Plus so much more room in Eileen's front porch by the stairs. No5 seemed bigger; the last time I remember really seeing the wall where the fireplace is was when Don and Ivy Brennan lived there! IF they aren't filming on the new set from the episodes we are currently seeing I wonder if a lot of sets were dismantled in the run up to Christmas leaving a lot of room for the ones required for filming before the Festive break? |

Nothing that we haven't already seen... but doesn't the new exterior Rovers look gorgeous in these couple of pics?! The construction workers/designers all did a fantastic job.

some interesting photos in that link and some very reflective windows, especially the café, which could be tricky for filming
looking forward to seeing super sized corry |

I thought that they were already using the new set now as one of the cast was talking about it in a soap mag saying how spacious it is now.

It's so much bigger isn't it?
Argh, this documentary can't come quick enough. I am so excited for it. I wish it was 2 episodes considering it was filmed over 2 years. They could have done episode 1 with the planning, start of construction, interviews, then episode 2 with the finishing of construction, and move to the new set. But hey ho, best just be happy they did a documentary at all. I just wish it was longer than 42 minutes. |

Will it be officially opened?
Back in 1983, HM The Queen & Prince Philpot visited & opened the then new set - the cast stood outside their houses & HMQ walked down & met each of them. Julie Goodyear famously wore Charles & Di earrings http://www.thefloridastandard.com/files/2013/06/51.jpg http://i2.manchestereveningnews.co.u...age-676492.jpg If she couldn't do it this time around, who could? My choice would either be Bill Roache, or even better, Jean Alexander or Julie Goodyear. Bryan Mosely (Alf) opened the main permanent studio block in the late 80's when that was built behind the viaduct I believe. Also, does anyone know what happened to the 4 plaques that were hung outside the Granada Studios dedicated to Pat Pheonix, Doris Speed, Vilot Carson & Bryan Mosely? |
