Quite simply - Absolutely Marvellous. The writers of today have no idea. They should be forced to sit down and watch all of the sixties and seventies episodes and maybe learn something. Of course half of it today is the piss poor actors as well as the writing and production.

Jeepers, this lot talk like my grandparents did (from Salford and Miles Platting). The writing is incredible. It is better than most of what’s considered classic. Compare this cast of real actors to the likes of Kirk and Ashley.

The guy who plays trumpet on the Coronation Street theme tune, was given a choice. He could have the going rate for a session musician or he could have royalties for every time it was played. As Coronation Street was only supposed to run for six weeks he chose the set wage, about £7.50, and missed out on a small fortune.

Coronation Street struck lucky - a lot of the cast they got in the first 10 years should have been in films but the British film industry had almost died - No amount of script changes will ever bring back that magic to present day Corrie - people are different and peoples way of lives are different - and neither are all that nice or interesting hence why they need murders and rapes to get viewers

Annie and Ena pissed as arseholes on cherry brandy and Benedictine is my very favourite moment in almost 60 years of Corrie. Violet Carson always played Ena drunk so brilliantly (like when Denis’s strippers bought her 6 milk stouts or when Albert smuggled rum into the snug and put it in their drinks). She show has not been the same since Ena, Elsie and Annie left. Amazing characters that were archetypes but could never be copied.

+Christopher Nichols "Collateral" in terms of finance is having a property you own which a bank can take from you if you do not repay the loan you borrowed from them. Les's joke is that he thought it meant about his appearance.

'Collateral ' sounds like it could be a medical condition- just double entendre word play
