This evening's episode of Coronation Street has been pulled from the schedules out of respect for those who died during today's shooting tragedy in Cumbria.
All this week, Corrie has dominated the 9pm slot on ITV1 with its siege storyline, featuring Tony Gordon's escape from prison.
However, owing to today's tragedy, in which a gunman shot 12 people dead and injured 25, the commercial broadcaster has decided to shelve tonight's instalment.
More soon.
just a bit more,
would be insesitive to air it tonight.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:26 PM
I hope they put tommorows Emmerdale tonight, then put tonights Corrie in Emmerdale's slot

02-06-2010, 05:26 PM
It'll get shown tommorow or Friday, it just means there'll be a double bill on one of those days. Fans won't have to worry about ITV not showing it at all.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:27 PM
I wish they'd have announced this a bit sooner
Iceman
02-06-2010, 05:27 PM

yeah that would be the most logical thing to do especially with BGT being on

Probably needed to get execs into a meeting, then inform ITV, then figure out what to do.....plus this story is still unfolding so dont go too bad on them.....
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:29 PM
WTF, they've replaced it with TV Burp!? :s why? that means tommrows Emmerdale might be moved or we're gonna get the finale of Corrie on monday

I would be annoyed if I was a Coronation Street viewer.
Maybe i'm insensitive but surely people can tell the difference between a soap storyline and reality, okay that storyline might be similar to the reality at the moment but that's just a very unfortunate coincidence. A warning before Coronation Street aired tonight that some people may find it upsetting would be better.
This very important week for ITV is turning into a bit of a disaster.

Aye, I feel the same. Sorry, but a fictional storyline in a soap opera bares no relevance to real-life occurences, it's just coincidental.
What a ridiculous decision placing TV Burp in there too. Christ ITV are stupid.
Scarlett.

Aye, its gonna be messed up, they'll probably bump Friday's Emmerdale

Now they're not even announcing when the next one will be shown! Thanks a lot ITV, we havent been looking forward to this weeks lot of episodes for months or anything

Not really, its just because there is a gun involved, Tony's hardly driving around Weatherfield shooting people

Yeah but theyre playing the safe game, which they have to TV has become too PC in recent years with complaints about minor things....
Spike
02-06-2010, 05:35 PM
I bet ITV get more complaints for not showing it that they would if they did. I can understand why ITV have done this but its still a bad decision. A warning before the episode would have been fine. I think they are insulting the viewers intelligence by pulling it.
There is talk that Corrie could go out on Saturday to wrap up the week.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:36 PM
True
I'm mostly pissed off about ITV not even telling us when the next one is on
Jack_
02-06-2010, 05:37 PM
It would make sense to have the finale on Saturday really.
It'd coincide with the BGT Final [though I haven't looked at schedules for that yet], and so it'd all fit together.
Iceman
02-06-2010, 05:37 PM
This was the first time id watched since xmas and now im annoyed, but becuase not a regular viewer it wont affect me, can see why you guys are though.

OK but a Gun
on this sad day with 12 or more dead
would be wrong.
Spike
02-06-2010, 05:42 PM
If ITV do show it on Saturday then the last 30mins of BGT will go out after 10pm and people under 16 (I think) can't be on TV after that time. So ITV would either have to get special permission to do that or pre-record the last 30mins of BGT, which sounds like too much trouble for ITV. The sensible thing would have been to do 2 episodes of Emmerdale tonight and then 2 episodes of Corrie tomorrow.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:42 PM
OK but a Gun

would be wrong.
I suppose, its just annoying that they announced they were pulling it 3 hours before its on
Jack_
02-06-2010, 05:43 PM
Just looked at Saturday schedules and it's as follows:
18:00 - 18:30: You've Been Framed
18:30 - 19:30: The Whole 19 Yards
19:30 - 22:00: Britain's Got Talent: The Final
22:00 - 23:00: Batman Begins
Very surprised at how the BGT Final is all in one show. It's quite a tight schedule and I can't really see them scrapping any of that.
They could push Batman Begins back to 22:30 and have Corrie on after BGT, but I think it'd make more sense (if possible) for them to split BGT up and have it like this:
18:00 - 18:30: You've Been Framed
18:30 - 19:30: The Whole 19 Yards
19:30 - 21:30: Britain's Got Talent: The Final [Part 1]
21:30 - 22:00: Coronation Street
22:00 - 22:30: Britain's Got Talent: The Final [Part 2]
Though again in saying that, I think there are restrictions with forbid the minors on BGT from appearing any later than 22:00. ITV are ****ed.
arista
02-06-2010, 05:48 PM

Yes but the News was not in Full until after 5PM
So they have this right.
Sky and FreesatHD Shows the changes
But Virgin does not it - still says its on
as virgin EPG is not up to it.
Jack_
02-06-2010, 05:48 PM
Actually, it appears the YBF episode is a repeat, so they could scrap that, push The Whole 19 Yards back to 18:00 - 19:00 and have Corrie on from 19:00 - 19:30. But does the content during the episode permit it to be shown before the watershed?
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 05:48 PM
they could pull YBF
What a riddiculous decision. Plenty of action movies are on the movie channels tonight, as are plenty of other broadcasts involving people shooting other people.
I don't understand this specific concept of 'insensitive'. Insensitive would be showing up to the victims funerals with a watergun full of piss. Airing a show that happens to feature a loose gunman is not insensitive. It's coincidence.
I can't even wrap my head around it. I mean ... how could it offend someone? It's make believe?
ITV know what they are doing, and they are smart for doing it. They know it wont offend either, but some schmucks with nothing better to do would be dying to give ofcom a call, causing trouble for both the show and the network.

02-06-2010, 05:52 PM
It's good of ITV but I think people can tell the difference between fiction and reality. Shootings happen in America all the time,the Grey's Anatomy finale had a crazy gunman raiding the hospital and killing and shooting loads of people,it never would have got pulled

Well said, especially about action movies
Plus the families of those dead wont give a **** about Coronation Street, I doubt they'd all be sat around, watching it, it's being pulled because some media twats would complain and bombard ITV with abuse

Just heard about this, it's a shame that it's been cancelled, but it's in respect to the shootings.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 06:36 PM
In light of the tragic events in Cumbria, some changes have been made to Corrie scheduling.
The planned episode of Coronation Street will not be broadcast on Wednesday, 2 June.
We will update you with revised episode dates and times in due course.
The official statement paints a better picture, it sounds like they are just cancelling it today, and the rest will just be moved around a bit
Smithy
02-06-2010, 06:37 PM
They should carry on as normal now and blow the factory up mid BGT final.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 06:40 PM
That would be for the best, what they should do, is pull YBF on Sat, therefore moving BGT back half an hour, add a half hour break in BGT and put Corrie there
YBF is only padding for Saturday schedules
Smithy
02-06-2010, 06:44 PM
Exactly, hopefully ITV will see sense and do that.
Chewy you email them and threaten them to do it :p
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 06:48 PM
lol nah, I think we MIGHT get an announcement before Harry Hill, it'd make sense
Smithy
02-06-2010, 06:50 PM
Hmm, I hope so. But it better be the one I want.
But that means no new trailer tonight :(
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 06:51 PM
Indeed :/
serensilver
02-06-2010, 06:58 PM
I can understand why they've cancelled it tonight but are the family and friends of the victims really going to be watching corrie after the sadness of today? they may watch it tomorrow and still aint gonna forget are they!? whenever they air it people will think about it.
R.I.P all that died today xxxxx
Smithy
02-06-2010, 07:00 PM
I think if theres another mass shooting across cumbria tomorrow I will cry :(

No, nothing absolutely nothing :(

02-06-2010, 08:22 PM
They are stuck in a rock and a hard place, if they aired it, people would have complained saying they are insensitive, now they've cancelled it, people are going to complain anyway.
So they were gonna get complaints either way.

It's only a rumour, but we will know more by tommorow, I dont think they will cancel the storyline
Smithy
02-06-2010, 08:56 PM
No they won't cancel the storyline after the amount they spent on it
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 08:57 PM
Nah, and I cant see them post poning it, too large of a backlog would be created
Patrick
02-06-2010, 09:02 PM
Was Tony ment to shoot someone and kill himself tonight?
If so then no wonder they didn't show it, but if no one was planned on being shot then it should of aired.
Smithy
02-06-2010, 09:03 PM
I think he should of shot Robbie tonight, but thats it :S
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 09:04 PM
Aye, but thinking about it, its best they delayed
Patrick
02-06-2010, 09:10 PM
They probably would of received alot of complaints regardless of if someone got shot or not, knowing some people.
I mean I have complained in the past but I wouldn't complain over somthing like this, I mean it isn't Corries fault it happened and im sure these scenes were filmed weeks ago.
Scarlett.
02-06-2010, 09:27 PM
I wish ITV would announce the changes tonight

Smithy

If they're showing hitman and other films like it they should be able to show corrie.

03-06-2010, 11:43 AM
Ah man. I was looking forward to it yesterday and now today it may be cancelled. I think that ITV are just going to have to do the 'Insensitive' thing and show it tonight. Otherwise they are going to struggle to find somewhere to fit in all of these episodes that are being backlogged. I think the best thing to do is to show it at 9pm tonight and then tomorrow have an episode at 9pm and 10pm - It will add to the drama as-well if there are two episodes in one night.

Just seen that too
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 12:47 PM
Hopefully this means they have finally come to a decision
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:03 PM
They should air tonights, but just have a warning prior to it
Lewis.
03-06-2010, 01:05 PM
I agree with you Chewy.
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:06 PM
Tonight is the only episode with a gun used to murder, they may as well just show it and get it out of the way
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:28 PM
Oh well
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:29 PM
It's deffo not on?
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:30 PM
Oh yeah, seen it now
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:32 PM
Harry Hill once again
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:33 PM
Harry Hill once again
Yup
Surely now they won't show it tomorrow now either?
:(
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:34 PM
It's not looking likely
Smithy

Carla shoots tony on friday though :s
Smithy
03-06-2010, 01:35 PM
Well they have completely ruined possibly the most exciting week of episodes there was
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:35 PM

Self defence, not the same
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:36 PM

I'm sure they'd have been happier that the Cumbria shooting never happened....
Smithy
03-06-2010, 01:37 PM
I'm sure they'd have been happier that the Cumbria shooting never happened....
Ik :(
But I don't just see why they didn't put a warning before the episode
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:39 PM
Ik :(
But I don't just see why they didn't put a warning before the episode
They're just doing the sensitive thing I guess and I'd also guess that if/when they air it they will put up a helpline for any people affected by the episodes. Maybe thats what they have to get set up now
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:40 PM
They still arent saying when it will next be on, well done ITV
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:41 PM
They still arent saying when it will next be on, well done ITV
Hopefully that will be in the 'More soon'
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:42 PM
It's already in the article
"It has not yet been confirmed when the outstanding episodes of Coronation Street will be broadcast."
Smithy
03-06-2010, 01:42 PM
OK they should show it tomorrow, and a double bill on saturday, one in the middle of BGT and one after it. Thats the only way I can see it working, without them getting backlog
Nicky.
03-06-2010, 01:43 PM
Aw that sucks! But, I can see where they're coming from.
However, they will have to show them sometime, and they can't wait forever or it will all my out of sync for weeks!
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:44 PM
Hopefully they will resume on Monday
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:44 PM
Really can't see them airing it on a Saturday
Lewis.
03-06-2010, 01:45 PM
I have a feeling that they will just have to squeeze in episodes of Coronation street next week. Silly decision I think.
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:46 PM
they can probably add one or two episodes during the World Cup
Smithy
03-06-2010, 01:46 PM
:(
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:47 PM
Must be a horrible predicament for the powers that be though
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:47 PM
they will have extra time to make episodes now though
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:52 PM
Theres a good chance they will tone the whole thing down now. Pull the ads etc
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:53 PM
indeed, though it might get higher ratings because of the news about it
Smithy
03-06-2010, 01:53 PM
I hope not. I was enjoying seeing the trailers about it. :(
Kerry
03-06-2010, 01:54 PM
They'll stop sensationalising it for sure
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 01:54 PM
Wait! the line about the remaining episodes has gone
Oh wait, they're back
Smooth DS, smoooooth

Coronation Street will once again be pulled from this evening's schedules in the wake of Cumbria's shooting tragedy.
Late yesterday evening, the commercial broadcaster decided not to broadcast the Manchester soap's fourth episode of Siege Week out of respect for those who were killed during yesterday's incident.
The 9pm slot - sandwiched between the Britain's Got Talent performance and results shows - will again be filled by Harry Hill's The Best of TV Burp.
An ITV spokesperson this afternoon said: "Following the tragic events in Cumbria yesterday, both Wednesday's and Thursday's planned Coronation Street episodes have been postponed.”
It has not yet been confirmed when the outstanding episodes of Coronation Street will be broadcast.
Smithy
03-06-2010, 02:05 PM
Surely if they say postponed it means they are still intending to broadcast them
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 02:06 PM
indeed, Kris says the rescheduling will be confirmed tommorow
I think there is a chance tommorows Corrie will be on
Smithy
03-06-2010, 02:07 PM
Well Wednesdays will :/
I hope we get the double bill on Saturday too, I hate back log, it knocks the whole show out of sync
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 02:09 PM
There is a chance WWTBAM will be removed next Tuesday, and allow the finale to be broadcast
Smithy

Tomorrow then

I think Corrie will be back on tommorow from how things are looking
Smithy
03-06-2010, 02:21 PM
Im sure we said that yesterday though :(
Spike
03-06-2010, 02:23 PM
This week is now a total failure for ITV, and for once its not their fault.
I don't get why its being cancelled tonight, maybe because its still in the press and still a hot topic. But that will be the same tomorrow. I don't think Corrie will air until Monday now.
Kerry
03-06-2010, 02:25 PM
I'm thinking Monday too. Give them chance to review the episodes/possibly edit plus set up relevant helplines and support
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 02:25 PM

Not many are complaining. Just discussing the possible schedule
Smithy
03-06-2010, 04:34 PM
I have family in cumbria and tbh if one have them had been shot, although I wouldn't have watched the episode that night, I wouldn't have been offended if ITV had broadcast the episode either.

Everyone in this thread understands why its delayed, were just annoyed ITV arent saying when its on again
Nicky.
03-06-2010, 05:22 PM
I'm not being funny, but anyone who had had somebody close to them shot yesterday will be more concerned about their loss, than if Coronation Street is cancelled!
I know that would be the case for me anyway. But I can see why ITV are being careful x
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 05:24 PM
Indeed, ITV are only doing it to avoid being yelled at by over sensitive people who complain at anything
Nicky.
03-06-2010, 05:25 PM
Aye. Either way, people will moan, but cancelling it means they have a leg to stand on.
Scarlett.
03-06-2010, 05:32 PM

ITV soap Coronation Street has been postponed for a third consecutive day, it has been announced.
The commercial broadcaster's decision to pull the soap's Siege Week episodes from its schedules comes as the Cumbrian shooting massacre continues to dominate headlines.
Harry Hill's The Best of TV Burp will once again be sandwiched between Britain's Got Talent's live performance and results shows.
Meanwhile, Sunday's omnibus has been replaced by the 1960s film adaptation of Pollyanna.
On Wednesday, ITV shelved Corrie's fourth episode of the week, which would have seen convicted murderer Tony Gordon continue with his plans to exact revenge on those responsible for his downfall.
Yesterday, ITV took the decision to postpone transmission for a second day.
Kerry
04-06-2010, 02:22 PM
Oh well
Scarlett.
04-06-2010, 02:22 PM
Still no news when it is back

Smithy
04-06-2010, 04:01 PM

They said during This Morning that Corrie was back on, then on TV then he said it had been mis-announced and had been postponed again :(
Scarlett.

How come they're showing it at 7:30pm then? They said they were airing siege week at 9pm due to content all week. It's all of a sudden fine pre-watershed? Yeah right
Scarlett.
04-06-2010, 07:23 PM
ITV said all along there was nothing in it that couldnt be shown pre-watershed :P
Kerry
04-06-2010, 07:30 PM
ITV said all along there was nothing in it that couldnt be shown pre-watershed :P
Why show it at 9pm then :conf:
Smithy
04-06-2010, 07:36 PM
Because it was nice to fit it between the BGT finals as a ratings winner
Scarlett.
04-06-2010, 07:50 PM
Aye :p

It'll be cool to have the climax then the aftermath

Yep, an hour build up makes it feel like less of a soap too
