PS. I did ask about exterior hospital scenes/shots, but David Nugent didn't answer that so I presume they are shots of a real hospital, which wouldn't really inconvenience anyone if they were done on, say a Saturday or Sunday when there are no clinics so fewer people visiting.

I don't know any pub in the real world that sells champagne
I ran pubs in 4 towns and was never asked for champagne and never stocked champagne in any of them Especially a back street pub in Wetherfield, you'd be lucky to get a decent bottle of wine |

I was delighted to discover from Coronation Street that South Africa has an open borders immigration policy. I saw a lovely documentary about the Kruger National Park this afternoon so I shall be moving there permanently tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

All of these type of irritants and giant SORs would be obliterated with just a few lines of dialogue between relevant characters, a simple conversation would explain rationally & believably many of the loose ends which infuriate & insult the viewers
1) did Mary's son see the rot that Gemma put on line or did Norris find him? 2) Did he come over from South Africa specially? (At Christmas of all times and leaving a pregnant wife at home!) 3) How did he know Mary was at Roy's caff having xmas dinner? 4) Has Pablo of Maria's sham wedding fame also been arrested and charged? I could go on but what is the point as the writers don't give a damn! ![]() I rarely watch EastEnders but when I do you cannot help but see the superior acting and storylines and quality in comparison with what the corrie writers are giving us. After that little rant. Like to say Happy New Year to all SOR subscribers

Reply from David Nugent at Corrie:
"All hospital scenes are shot on set at our studio complex, years ago(25) we use to use Manchester Northern Hospital but it became impractical. Once again many thanks for your e-mail and may I wish you a Very Happy New Year. Best Wishes, David." I note that he mentions 'hospital scenes' without being specific. I suppose you if asked about filming school scenes you might say 'what sort of scene: distance shots from the street, in the playground, in the corridors or in gyms or dining rooms? And the way these things are done by production crews , there might be a separate location for each. For example, Hayley and Roy had two locations for their wedding. Arley Hall and Dukinfield and travelled using a steam train in Rossendale. A map will show what a ridiculous geographical SOR this involves especially if you picture Weatherfield being to the west of the area. As this is a SOR thread I shall continue to comment on any I notice knowledge but there are many such SORs. Be prepared ![]() But I am fed up of hospitals.....for the time being. The reality is that hospital scenes in THE private ward are much overused because the writers are not very imaginative. |

I saw all that mess with the misquoting. The issue just seemed to grow. Beyond filmed on location in a hospital or filmed on a set, It was far too hard for me to follow! I tend to glaze over and drift off into a geriatric daze nowadays if anything gets too complicated!
And surely you mean nowt personal! ![]() No offence - which brings me nicely to Series 2 of No Offence starting soon and offering a whole range of local geographical SORs.So i can retire from 'ospicles' on here and check Channel 4 out SORs. Prime Suspect was a favourite when it was on, but Scott and Bailey did it for me , in the nicest possible way. |

This puzzled me too - but I'm thinking now maybe they just told Si Leanne was at Janice's to explain her staying in hospital

Exactly true that you think you have missed an episode. Total mess just now, with half baked storylines reaching conclusions with no substance to them e.g. who ended up with the big TV, what about the investigation in to the new flats, hairdressers closed, all the staff are AWOL, and on and on it goes.

I would also have assumed that her passport was in the camper van....

It got towed away by the Council after she got told she couldn't live in it parked on Coronation Street. We never saw Mary try to retrieve it or anything, it just seemed to get forgotten.

and it's always struck me that, given that the camper van disppeared without any apparent concern from her - she has a remarkable number of objects from her life still in her possession.

Scott and Bailey?

Locations spotting is great.As a Manunian who loves local history, geography and maps, certain programmes are manna from Heaven, a rich source for me to identify Areas and Errors and criticise the feeble attempts made by many programme makers and getting simple things wrong. Most people on this thread do the same over the wide range of SORs but just have different 'speciality subjects'. My praise for Scott and Bailey was only for the sheer volume of stuff they got wrong in many fields but Prime Suspect was enjoyable for various reasons. Once we went to Waterstones in Manchester and there was a huge queue round the building. It was almost entirely men of a certain age queuing to get Helen Mirren to sign her book. The wife gave me a glance that said 'do not even think about it' and led me off the the cookery section. Happy New Year to you and everyone else. I will spend part of the day walking the dog near the location of at least four Corrie weddings and I am sure I will have a wry smile about this thread despite the rain

Another of my pet hates is the fact no one talks about absent friends.
Emily. Carla, wouldn't her friends have visited her? Sophie's sister, blimey it's been so long I can't remember her name. And would any daughter actually be away for so long? |

You might also be experiencing double vision. Of course, when a doctor asks a patient with double vision to sit on the couch, the patient asks Which one?
