Coronation Street has commissioned 10 webisodes about Ken and Deirdre Barlow to be shown on the official Corrie site from Valentine's Day.
The 10 three-minute episodes are called Ken and Deirdre's Bedtime Stories, showing previously unseen antics in the Barlows' bedroom. From the couple's pillow talk and arguments to snoring and night-time natter, the webisodes will portray them like never before. The first sees Deidre hoping for a cuddle, but her night cream puts Ken off, driving him further into his highbrow novel.
The new content is designed to provide creative extensions to storylines as seen on screen and the Ken and Deirdre dramas are written by award-winning writer Johnathan Harvey.
Now, I'm no fan at all of watching any telly on my computer, most of all Coronation Street, which I truly believe needs to be appreciated with feet up on the pouffe and a cup of tea and a biscuit to hand. But this might just change my mind because a) it's Ken and Deirdre, b) it's written by Jonathan Harvey so you know it'll be top quality dialogue and c) it's only three minutes long (although there'll be double that in adverts, I'd guess).
The webisodes will be available exclusively online at itv.com/corrie every Monday from Valentine's Day.
