Re: Coronation Street

Was it just me who noticed when Claudia told Norris that Ken 'Liked to put in a few lengths on an afternoon'...

Does he really!.....

Re: Coronation Street

I'm not sure that Ken has the capability!

More to the point, I wouldn't want to put even one length in with Claudia at any time of day or night. She's too 'posh' and affected and 'superior'. In fact, she really doesn't fit in on The Street any more than you'd expect to see the Queen living in a rough area of Manchester!

Re: Coronation Street

That's quite true JB, but Ken has pulled quite a few birds in his time. There is some very dubious acting going on just lately; Emma (Steve's daughter) could do with a few acting lessons (just changing her expression from time to time might help a bit) as could the Doctor Ali and his brother. I was glad to see Ali leave the street. Just a pity that Gary didn't give him a good hiding before he left, Gary always gives the street a bit of excitement.

Re: Coronation Street

I laughed at that too and nearly choked on me cup of Yorkshire's finest.

Re: Coronation Street

Sometimes I think it should be called 'Carry on, Up the Street'
and I expect Kenneth Williams to turn up at any second Percy.........Ooooo Missus!

Re: Coronation Street

At least Kenneth Williams could act, Foxy!

Re: Coronation Street

That Doctor Ali bloke is the worst, most wooden actor I've ever seen on Corrie's cobbles. Thank the Lord he's finally cleared off. He's definitely relegated Dev to second place.

Re: Coronation Street

Good point Tabby.....Bring back Elsie Tanner, Jack and Vera Duckworth and Sarah Lancashire.....Mind you....Sarah does tend to mumble a bit in 'Last Tango in Halifax'....

Re: Coronation Street

He doesn't show Doctors in a good light does he eccles....
And I reckon he was a bit of a stalker too the way he kept annoying Maria.....

Re: Coronation Street

I find that the greatest difference between the original Coronation Street and today's is twofold.
Firstly, there are far too many characters today.
Secondly, the characters and scripts suffer greatly from PC-ism.
