Coronation Street: Gloria! [Ep chat]

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I'm glad they're developing his character, I kinda miss "Uncle Les" though xD

[Kerry]

Haha he still calls him that too. Maybe he'd have made a comeback if he'd not been in trouble drinking :/

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I like the character, but Bruce Jones turned into a right knob

That said, Steve Huison (Eddie Windass) is a good replacement, and Steve is a brilliant guy (he regulary talks with fans on Twitter and let us vote for wether or not Eddie should have a ponytail last night xD)

[Kerry]

Eddie Windass is a great character. I love that family :)

[Scarlett.]

Me too, they are so normal, I can see them being there for years

[Kerry]

Is Twitter easy to use? I've always said I'll never use it but I keep wondering wether to give it a go. I think it'd go too fast for me :joker:

[Scarlett.]

It's quite easy to use, I only had 141 followers (I do a Corrie news thing lol) it's pretty cool, and theres some great behind the scenes people on there (the make up girls always chat with Corrie fans)

[Kerry]

[Kerry]

A fit?

[Scarlett.]

Aye, an epeleptic fit, according to the papers

[Kerry]

Aye, an epeleptic fit, according to the papers

Wow thats a biggish story. My Dad had that and it's scary stuff. I wonder if they'll show it

[Scarlett.]

I'm not sure, the whole epylepsy could be tabloid guesswork (like when they said Gary would be a bomb disposal expert because of the paintbrush comment)

[Kerry]

I'm not sure, the whole epylepsy could be tabloid guesswork (like when they said Gary would be a bomb disposal expert because of the paintbrush comment)

Mmmm yes, possibly. I just can't see them showing a fit. They are so distressing and upsetting

[Scarlett.]

I think it will happen off screen, and they will trick the audience into thinking David did it by accident and he's fibbing about the fit, then they will reveal it

[Kerry]

I can't stand David but he'd never go for Graham. Not now anyway. They'd made up and he's his best mate in the world

[Scarlett.]

Aye, David has grown up a lot, look how he's handled the whole incident so far, he's just been trying to say sorry

[Kerry]

Aye, David has grown up a lot, look how he's handled the whole incident so far, he's just been trying to say sorry

He needs to learn how to shave though :laugh: Cos that on his face looks like summats died

[Scarlett.]

Lol it makes him look older

[Smithy]

rofl what was Rosie trying to cook?

[Scarlett.]

It was started by her hair straightners lmao

[Smithy]

:laugh2:

I bet, in the end, she's more bothered about her straighteners, than the kitchen

[Scarlett.]

Wouldn't surpirse me xD

[Visage]

Great pictures, when is this all happening ?

[Smithy]

next week I think

[Visage]

I remember a while back, Jack was sat on his own in the Rovers and I think it was Vera's birthday. The rest of the street carried on as normal, then Betty came over to Jack gave a drink and kissed him on the top of his head.

Nothing more was said, but the scene really touched me.

[Scarlett.]

Sounds lovely :) Jack's death will be brilliantly done

[Kerry]

Sounds lovely :) Jack's death will be brilliantly done

I'm dreading it. I'll cry my heart out. When Vera died I was so upset. I'm such a silly sod

[Scarlett.]

The idea of them having one last dance is heartbreaking xD

[Mrluvaluva]

ROVER’S cook Betty Williams goes hot pot crazy when her secret recipe is stolen.

Former colleague Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy, 35) swipes it and starts serving it up at Nick Tilsley’s rival boozer The Joinery.

Furious Betty (Betty Driver, 90) tells Rovers landlady Liz McDonald (Bev Callard, 53): “I’ll kill that Ciaran. I don’t care if they send me to prison for the rest of my natural life. I’ll string him up.”

[Smithy]

lmao

[Mrluvaluva]

Lots of exclusive pictures of the 50th anniversary tram crash in today's newspapers.

As the tram careers off the viaduct, The Corner Shop and The Kabin are reduced to rubble and up to a dozen cast members lose their lives. New bar The Joiners is destroyed too. The tram crash - which airs in December - is believed to be the most expensive in TV history, costing a cool £1 million.

According to The Daily Mail, producer Phil Collinson had to go cap in hand to ITV bigwigs to ask for more money. "We've had a significant amount of extra money from ITV for this stunt. It's the most money we've ever spent in the show's history; it's going to be a spectacular set of episodes."

He said that the stunt would dwarf the June explosion at the Underworld knicker factory. Special effects experts from production company The Mill - who worked on Gladiator and Doctor Who - were brought in by Collinson to ensure the crash was as sensational as possible.

The production team have also worked closely with Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE), which runs Metrolink trams in Manchester.

The Stape will find a way to bury his next victim in the aftermath....

[Scarlett.]

Graeme Hawley said it may be a red herring :p

[Mrluvaluva]

Could be. His storyline has obviously not ended though....

[Scarlett.]

[Visage]

How many episodes have we got to go before we get there ?

I can't wait, it's going to be soooo good

It's only two months :p

Tonights Corrie was good, pretty strange seeing the Joinery knowing the front is gonna blow off the place

[flamingGalah!]

I wonder if we will get a few more CGI trams going over the viaduct before the big crash, just to remind viewers that trams do actually go over it :joker:

[Scarlett.]

I think maybe one or two more :p

[Smithy]

:bawling:

[Tom]

Tyrone really cant act

[Smithy]

I think he's gunna die in the tram crash anyway

[Tom]

I think he's gunna die in the tram crash anyway

he dies around that time but its not in the tram crash. he see's Vera or something

[Smithy]

thats Jack not Tyrone

[Marsh.]

Makes you wonder why the writers bothered with the crash she and Tyrone had a few months back. It was forgotten after 1 episode and she'll probably get crushed by the tram now anyway. Talk about bad luck.

[Kerry]

Poor Jack

Tyrones a bloody terrible character/actor

[Scarlett.]

Makes you wonder why the writers bothered with the crash she and Tyrone had a few months back. It was forgotten after 1 episode and she'll probably get crushed by the tram now anyway. Talk about bad luck.lol that was toward the end of Kim Crowther's reign as producer, if you watch now, events actually have lasting effects :p

Tonights episodes were sad :(

[RichardWells]

Poor Jack

Tyrones a bloody terrible character/actor

I don't think so.

I think he's a good actor.

[Kerry]

Corrie was so much fun tonight (well mostly) and a great watch. The 'John' thing was hilarious. Especially when Katies dad called him by his real name about 50 times :laugh2:

[Scarlett.]

It was great Monday night tv, I'd rather have something like this than depression central on BBC1

[Kerry]

It was great Monday night tv, I'd rather have something like this than depression central on BBC1

[Kerry]

Aye lol, the writers knew they went OTT there xD and the scene with Emily, Steve, Jack and Ty were hirrarious

Yes they knew exactly what they were doing. Very funny :D

[Scarlett.]

I like Owen as a bad guy, I hope they leave him as being just a bully like they did with Charlie

[Kerry]

When does Jack...... go... ? :(

[Scarlett.]

7th November, I kinda like that we know he is going, and I like that he wants to make the most of his time left

[Kerry]

7th November, I kinda like that we know he is going, and I like that he wants to make the most of his time left

Oh so almost another month. I'll start hoarding the tissues from now. I'm honestly going to be in bits :blush: It's bad enough now. All those years.....

[Scarlett.]

It was sad when Vera went, so for us to see them both one last time will be sad

[Kerry]

I'm dreading it

[Scarlett.]

It'll be weird though, seeing her again lol

[Kerry]

It'll be weird though, seeing her again lol

Very. Sharon Marshall said V has filmed the scene now

[Scarlett.]

Is the actress who's playing Claire's mum the same original actress who played Claire's mum ?

I was thinking the same question when I watched her last night.

I think it is her, only it's been quite a time since she was last in it, that she has aged a little.

Or it could be that I am wrong :joker:

[Scarlett.]

Seems Corrie is getting a much needed sexing up xD

[flemin]

My TV's broken :(

[Smithy]

Last nights episode in a nutshell

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101022111151/coronationstreet/images/8/8c/Episode7450.jpg

Jason: What's with the green background, its a bit boring

[Jords]

I had a dream about the tram crash last night!
Gail kept jumping in the fire in a burning house and I kept calling her a silly cow, lmfao.

[Scarlett.]

lol how strange

[bbfan1991]

Saw a bit today.. i'm on Team David, Tina gets on my nerves now and I think they've ruined her character plus Greame is starting to grate on me too:(. I ignore scenes involving Becky also...

I think Sophie Webster is brilliant, Brooke Vincent plays her very well:).

[Scarlett.]

Friday and tonights episodes have been a bit boring, things should start hotting up soon though

[Jords]

Im guessing Kylie will have to be Becky? xD

[Kerry]

Im guessing Kylie will have to be Becky? xD

Thats what I thought too. Hope not though. Too daft

[Jords]

Thats what I thought too. Hope not though. Too daft

If so bet she tries kissing Steve LOL.

[Kerry]

If so bet she tries kissing Steve LOL.

Not sure whats going to come of it. I think her next big storyline is -

trying to sell Max to Becky so she can go back abroad with her new boyfriend. Saw a clip earlier, he's hilarious lol

[Scarlett.]

I laughed when Owen came in, I half expected him to say

"Hey Becky, where's Liz, Becky? Can I have a hotpot Becky?"

[Kerry]

I laughed when Owen came in, I half expected him to say

"Hey Becky, where's Liz, Becky? Can I have a hotpot Becky?"

Haha I wish he had :D

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if the writers purposefully had him come in to nearly say Becky's name

[Kerry]

I imagine so

[Jords]

Thread title. :joker:

[Smithy]

It was always gonna be awkward with Michelle in the factory :laugh:

[Smithy]

Awwww poor Jack :(

[Kerry]

Awwww poor Jack :(

He's devastated :( Love how he blanked Molly before he went to bed

[Scarlett.]

lol @ the Drag King

[bbfan1991]

Rosie and Sophie are brilliant:D, poor Jack overhearing that conversation but Molly only has herself to blame and Kevin is out of order:mad:.7

I usually like Leanne.. the scenes with Nick bore me:(, Carla awesome as usual and looking hot:love:, as for John/Fiz I don't care.

Yes I did watch hobviously while eating my tea:rolleyes:.

[Smithy]

Brilliant time to advertise, during XF :D

[Scarlett.]

Was it a Jack advert?

[Smithy]

Yep

[Scarlett.]

Epic! Can't wait to see Vera again

[Mrluvaluva]

Apparently...

"If the rumours are true, then Jack will bow out of Coronation Street on Monday with a touching dream sequence featuring his beloved Vera."

[Scarlett.]

Aye :D

[bbfan1991]

Epic! Can't wait to see Vera again

Me too and please say Jack confronts Molleh before he snuffs it:(.

[Smithy]

Omg, tomorrow :(

[Mrluvaluva]

For the week...

CORRIE fans are going to be in absolute floods of tears on Monday night.

If Vera Duckworth’s death in 2008 was emotional, then we’ll all be wrecks at the poignant scenes surrounding the death of her husband Jack.

Suffering from cancer, he passes away quietly in his sleep on his 64th birthday, sitting in the same armchair that Vera died in and clutching her photograph.

It happens after he enjoys the surprise birthday party that Tyrone and Molly have arranged for him in the Rovers. He holds court, reminiscing about his three decades on the street and making a speech over his cake.

Molly is taken aback when Jack reveals that he knows about her affair with Kevin and that Tyrone is not baby Jack’s father. But he decides to take the secret to his grave rather than upset everyone.

Tyrone is still heartbroken, though, when he gets home to discover the body of the man who he considers a father figure.

Make sure you tune in on Wednesday to the excellent documentary Farewell Jack, paying tribute to Bill Tarmey’s 31 years on the soap.

Nick is impressed as Leanne works flat out to ensure the opening night of their bar goes ahead, and when he hears that she’s going to miss her wedding dress fitting, he insists he’ll drive her there.

But seeing his ex-wife in a long white dress stirs up old emotions, and by the end of the week the pair are locking lips again, after the high of the successful opening night party.

Meanwhile Leanne’s fiancé Peter is spending more time with Carla, trying to encourage her to stay on the wagon, especially after she’s arrested for drink driving. But when she drunkenly makes a pass at him, he gently pushes her away. If only he knew what Leanne was doing....which Rosie does, after walking in on them in a clinch. Something tells me she’s going to use this knowledge to her own advantage.

John is tormented by silent calls at work, but by the end of the week he discovers who his stalker is.

Sophie and Sian are in a dilemma when the pastor tells them homosexuality is a sin, but they are surprised by the reaction they get from Emily.

:bawling:

:bawling:

Vera was the original head bitch in charge.
that said, not as much crying as I expected

[Angus]

Aww, RIP Jack Duckworth:sad:

[Callum]

That was so sad :bawling:

Vera's appearance was really touching

[Jack_]

Just watched Jack's final episode, very moving - and I've not watched properly in years.

Wasn't he supposed to bow out during the tram crash though? Seems a bit odd that they didn't keep him on until then, or am I missing something? :conf:

[Smithy]

I think they wanted him to die separately because he's been in it so long, that he deserved his own send off, rather than it being him and a bunch of others who would have taken away from him dying.

31 years and be given an exit like he got?

Or 31 years, ploughed into by a tram and killed with a few others, kthnxbi

I know which one the producers would have favoured ... I dont think he was ever going to be killed by the tram

[Novo]

Poor Tryone

[Jords]

Vera :') Jack :')

[Jords]

Tyrone is gonna be left with nothing. :(

No Jack, no Molly if rumours are true shes dying in the fire and no baby Jack because of that twat Kevin.

[Smithy]

I think tbh it'd be best if he died in the tram crash too

[Novo]

Probably would be, there won't be much of a storyline for him after the tram crash.. suppose he could just move away with the baby

[Smithy]

He has no rights to the baby :(
They'll give it to Kevin just to throw a spanner in the works between him and sally :/

Fair enough.

I don't mean killed by the tram, I too agree that'd be a bad exit for him. But I mean him still being there to witness the crash and the 50th Birthday of the street? Surely as an actor and as a character that's not something you'd want to miss out on, especially after being there for so long? They could've postponed the death until a few days/weeks after the crash.

I wasn't sure whether he died/just left tonight anyway, I just heard it was his 'final scenes' so tuned in.

[bbfan1991]

Aww poor Jack:(, t'was nice when OUR VERA appeared though. Tbh I did feel emotional but not as much as Carol's grief over Billie in Eastenders:bawling:.

I'm feeling sorry for poor Tyrone and disliking Molly/Kevin even more:mad:, I really like Tyrone and once it all comes out might give his character more life;).

Loving Carla tonight:blush:, she is so hot and for me she's better than Tina anyday of the week!.

[flamingGalah!]

Was very sad, brilliantly done with Vera coming for Jack, then the camera panning up through the house & up out of the roof for them going up to heaven... Beautiful... :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[Scarlett.]

*****ing amazing, seriosuly, I didn't expect to cry, then when Vera replied to Jack...My GOD! It came out by the bucket loads

Oh, and then they hit us with "Goodnight...dad"

[Kerry]

Night Night Jack :(

This weeks gonna be so tearful. I cried from the minute Ken said goodbye and raised his glass to him

[Kerry]

Oh and saying his little swampduck one last time :bawling:

[Scarlett.]

I like how it wasn't a 'death scene' it was the happiest moment Jack's had since Vera died

[Iceman]

Vera :love:

[Kerry]

Wish they hadn't played him out with the themetune though but then again I bet he requested no fuss. I saw him on Loose Women today and he was crying :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

I cried :(

Fantastic episode, I hope he wins some kind of award for that because it was brilliantly acted.

[Kerry]

I'll be worse in the week when everyone finds out and I've bloody had it for his funeral

[Kazanne]

Wasn't as sad as i thought it would be but he was a good character,and will be missed.Corrie is lacking a bit in good actors,especially the younger ones,'Rosie' being the worst ever actress,will miss jack

[Kerry]

My daughter went and fetched me tissues before the show started :joker:

[Smithy]

omg, I just watched it again :(

9P5__zCuTEo

Made me realize how much I missed Vera too :(

[Scarlett.]

The scenes where Jack and Vera's ashes are scattered in Blackpool too

[Z]

I tuned in tonight because I grew up watching Jack and Vera ranting and raving at each other; it seemed fitting to watch them say their final goodbye. It was really moving and I was in tears within seconds of it starting, what an amazing pair of characters; brilliant actor/actress portraying them and I don't think they could have asked for a better send off. I love you, Jack and Vera! :love:

[Kerry]

I can't watch it again. I'm just dragging myself out of the soap sadness tonight!

[MissKittyFantastico]

I'll be worse in the week when everyone finds out and I've bloody had it for his funeral

Oh lord, I hadn't even thought about the funeral part :bawling:

It was so well done though, him saying his goodbyes, seeing his little swamp duck, them dancing, I agree with you about them running the titles though as usual, thats the only thing that spoilt it a bit for me.

I can only think that he asked for the proper titles. He's a really humble man

[Smithy]

Bill Tarmey's final episode as Coronation Street's Jack Duckworth has been praised by critics and viewers alike.

Earlier tonight, the long-standing character died of a heart attack in the chair that his wife Vera passed away in nearly three years earlier.

The poignant episode included a guest appearance by Tarmey's former co-star Liz Dawn, who played Vera's ghost in an emotional final scene which saw the pair dance to 'Wind Beneath My Wings'.


Having seemingly joined Vera in heaven, Jack's foster son Tyrone (Alan Halsall) discovered Jack, becoming tearful before saying, 'Bye Dad'.

The Guardian's Mark Lawson described the scene as achieving "a depth unmatched in other drama", praising the show's writers for the "injection" of "magical realism".

DS forum members also paid tribute to Jack, as Cinnte commented: "That ending could not have been done any better. The camera angle focusing out onto the street was an excellent touch.


"Tyrone's reaction was excellent and the importance of Jack to Tyrone was outlined brilliantly. I definitely shed a few tears."

Meanwhile, LemonadeMan said: "You know what I loved and hated the most? You see characters like Jack and Vera reunited in death and all that history.

"All that pathos, all those little character moments come back, then you realise that's it, a link to the show's history is gone."

This is great to see

[MissKittyFantastico]

Bloody DS

Our Corrie threads are better than theirs :nono:

[Scarlett.]

I can only think that he asked for the proper titles. He's a really humble man

Apparently they did run the titles without an announcer saying "coming up next!"

[Smithy]

Obviously :hugesmile:

[Scarlett.]

Corrie pulled in 11.6m in the overnights :D

[Scarlett.]

Oh wait, this was just tweeted

"12.3 million viewers tuned in to watch Jack Duckworth’s last moments on Coronation Street @itvcorrie last night. #itvpresscentre"

[flamingGalah!]

Why are they saying Jack died of a heart attack?? I thought he died of cancer? :conf:

[Scarlett.]

He could have died as his heart failed, but at the same time the cancer spread to his brain (which is why he was so disorientated)

[RichardWells]

I am really gonna miss Bill Tarmey.

He's been a part of my life (soap wise) for such a long time now.

[flamingGalah!]

He could have died as his heart failed, but at the same time the cancer spread to his brain (which is why he was so disorientated)

Well it was still the cancer that killed him... And cancer doesn't spread that quick for it to have got to his brain just before he carked it! Just typical sloppy journalism I expect (saying he died of a heart attack)...

[Scarlett.]

I thought it was nice and fitting that they were finally getting on and not arguing in their final scene, almost like a happily ever after type thing

As far as the episode goes, I think it was done well but spoilt a bit that it didn't happen right at the end. I think when the camera went up through the house and down the street with the music in the background they should have ended it there and had the credits going over it. it was a bit of an anti climax when it just cut to regular scenes afterwards

[Mrluvaluva]

Thought the same.

[Smithy]

Aww at the Duckworth show on atm

[Smithy]

Wow, Nick is a shocking actor :|

[Scarlett.]

Loved tonights episodes, I wish Peter would have got with Carla! **** Leanne.....oh...Pob did already

[Stacey.]

I hope Nick and Leanne get together, and Peter and Carla :')

[bbfan1991]

Loved tonights episodes, I wish Peter would have got with Carla! **** Leanne.....oh...Pob did already

Yes:love:, they have lots of sizzling chemistry. Leanne and Nick bore me together:sleep:.

[Scarlett.]

Me too, both are actually believable too (unlike Kevin and Molleh)

[Scarlett.]

Yes:love:, they have lots of sizzling chemistry. Leanne and Nick bore me together:sleep:.

I don't mind Nick and Leanne, but Le did the dirty deed, and Peter behaved xD

[bbfan1991]

Me too, both are actually believable too (unlike Kevin and Molleh)

Molvin are vile:yuk:. I hope Carla goes all out to get Peter, I usually like Leanne but in this instance no...

The writers need to give Nick more personality;).

[Scarlett.]

lol the thing about Nick is he is too old xD

[flamingGalah!]

Yep. Isn't the actor that now plays Nick nearly 40?! Ridiculous...

[Scarlett.]

lol yeah - still, anything's better than wotsisface

[Smithy]

Awww :(

[Smithy]

wow that has to be one of the worst fake casts ever :laugh:

[Visage]

I like how Nick has gone from the blonde hair and gradually turned dark. When Nick came back this time his hair was pretty blonde, albeit was bleach this time around...

[\PJ/]

I watched tonight and have been watching all week and i can't believe how bad it's getting, but i am glad about the joinery being open it's about time they had a more up to date place to go rather than the rancid rovers.

[Scarlett.]

It's better than earlier this year (which exclusively featured Constipated Joe, in every damn scene :p) I think it's improving at the moment, and I agree about the Joinery, kinda makes the Rovers look boring lol

[\PJ/]

Exactly, but doesn't it explode or something? that happened to underworld in may didn't it? :/

[Scarlett.]

Aye lol, which I think is a bit of a shame, though this time the disaster actually changes something in the show (other than the factory girls moving into a different set for a month) it's really shaking the show up, which IMO is what Corrie has needed since 2006 (when things began to go a little sour) they have improved lately though with quite a few stand out episodes

[bbfan1991]

OMG Carla is so hot:blush:, you could tell Peter was really tempted but he's gonna be gutted once the truth about Leanne and Nick is revealed.. hoping Carla steps up her plan:thumbs:.

Liking Jim being back he's a legend:D, so hope he sorts out Owen an d as for Liz she's such a sket!.

[Smithy]

Aww I feel bad for Colins mum :(

[Smithy]

Awwwwwwwwww :sad:

[Scarlett.]

I do too, I wish Colin was alive, she's gonna die thinking her son doen't care D:

[flamingGalah!]

I don't care about the silly old bag, or bloody Colin Fishwick, the sooner this storyline is over the better... :sleep:

[Scarlett.]

I'm on the like side of it xD I love the colourful character it brings in (like John's old teacher friend a few weeks ago)

[Kerry]

The John thing is bugging me really. It's lie after impossible lie. Is Fizz TOTALLY dumb or what?

[flamingGalah!]

The John thing is bugging me really. It's lie after impossible lie. Is Fizz TOTALLY dumb or what?

Yes, she is incredibly thick...

The whole drawn out storyline is just so silly it bores me. I couldn't care less about John either to be honest & I know he kills Charlotte & hides her body amongst the tram crash debris but :sleep:

[Kerry]

See, it's just getting sillier by the second to me. I know soaps are incredibly far fetched but really.....

[Scarlett.]

lol that's what I like about the story, it doesn't take itself seriously - It was worse when it did (pre-Colin's death)

[Kerry]

It's so far fetched though. I might aswell walk onto the street and out John myself and no one would appear to notice :joker:

[Scarlett.]

lol that's the point xD It's hilarious because this is happening to John Stape everything under the sun keeps happening to him xD

[Kerry]

lol that's the point xD It's hilarious because this is happening to John Stape everything under the sun keeps happening to him xD

Haha I guess so.

[flamingGalah!]

I don't think it's meant to be intentionally 'hilarious' though, that is kind of the point... :whistle:

[Scarlett.]

I don't think it's meant to be intentionally 'hilarious' though, that is kind of the point... :whistle:Really? :p I mean come on, no one is as unlucky as poor John xD its a recurring thing for him to get himself into a big mess unintentionally xD

[flamingGalah!]

Really? :p I mean come on, no one is as unlucky as poor John xD its a recurring thing for him to get himself into a big mess unintentionally xD

I don't think hiding someones body beneath the floor of a factory is 'hilarious' no... I honestly don't think it is meant to be slapstick, but it appears amusing because the whole storyline is so farcical...

[Tom]

The story has become a parody of itself and the producers know it

[Smithy]

omg charlottes acting like a bond villian o_0

[Smithy]

and bitch is bat sh!t crazy :L

[Scarlett.]

Would you rather it be what it was like before Phil Collinson came along?
