Yes I noticed, looked awful.
Why do that? There were much better filmed exterior scenes in vehicles on Corrie 10 or 20 years ago.

Nice look back at Barbara’s life and career in the special documentary tonight
I half thought Barbara had decided to step down now she’s 90 and Rita was going to be killed off tonight, so glad that didn’t happen. Barbara says she won’t retire.
I know there are a lot of cynics with the soaps, but I thought Corrie was great this week, and as none of it had been spoiled, you honestly didn’t know what was going to happen next

It was an awful overhyped week of stunts, rubbish "special" effects and distortion of sound - everything a soap that's meant to be grounded in the real world should not be. Terrible, terrible soap.

Emmerdale was doing much the same thing. I assume you think that's terrible too?

The plate on the back of Tim's car says "Weatherfield County Council", so Weatherfield is apparently a whole county now, not just a town or borough of Manchester.

The EE (previously) Costa shop on Corrie is boarded up on tonight's episode, has that product placement deal come to an end? I imagine all the EE routers will be vanishing from people's houses now. Looks like that's going to be a shop which changed regularly.

I imagine so, I think I recall seeing the shop is going to become a Hays Travel branch

Yeah it said tonight "Hays Travel" coming soon, must not be a very good area for trade in the retail world of corrie
3 big names in the past few years and none can make much money from it

Has "Trim Up North" closed? You never seem to see that set anymore.

I assume with this being soapland they'll mainly sell one way tickets.
