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.

I hope they put tommorows Emmerdale tonight, then put tonights Corrie in Emmerdale's slot

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

[Tom4784]

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.

I wish they'd have announced this a bit sooner

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.]

yeah or show it on saturday maybe, the siege week has to take priority

[Mrluvaluva]

Harry Hills best bits are on.

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.]

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....

OK but a Gun
on this sad day with 12 or more dead
would be wrong.

I suppose, its just annoying that they announced they were pulling it 3 hours before its on

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.

[Spike]

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.
