Spoof corrie filmed set in 2050
Granada has reportedly made a spoof version of Corrie set in the year 2050 as part of ITV's 50th anniversary celebrations.
The programme, which shows Ken Barlow marrying his ninth wife, features many Coronation Street favourites and will be aired a party in Manchester this December. However, the Daily Record reports that there are no plans at present to show the comic episode on television, though the possibility has not been ruled out. In the spoof Corrie, Ken apparently becomes "Kendroid", a Weatherfield version of The Terminator, and marries a 68-year-old Sarah-Louise Platt. Ken refuses to forget the love of his life, Deirdre, though and keeps her skull on the bar of the Rovers Return, wearing her giant glasses. Now pensioners, Eileen Grimshaw and Gail Platt are seen still bickering about men and Jack Duckworth wins the Lottery and uses his winnings to clone Vera 14 times. Gobby Cilla Brown becomes addicted to plastic surgery, while Betty remains exactly the same, prompting the revelation that her famous hotpot has anti-ageing powers, and even the Rovers is given a space-age makeover. A Corrie spokesman told the newspaper: "It's not been made as a transmittable item, it was just a bit of fun for the ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations and the results really are hilarious. The cast came in specially to film it and it was made for internal viewing at Granada, probably to be shown at our anniversary dinner in December. But we're certainly not ruling out that the public will eventually see it." |

They did the same thing with Rainbow; it was a more adult version but all the cast went in especially to film it. It was only to be shown internally, but I remember seeing a link on here for it once and it was hilarious.

This special episode is being shown as part of the ITV celebrations and they are not ruling out showing it on TV. |

Sounds like a classic clip for comic relief if you ask me!
