lol Wasn't the child called Harry too?

It went downhill once they ditched all the kids and added a new bunch.
Brian was a legend though

No way That sign always metaphorically said "you are now in Manchester" and Granada Reports will never be the same again without the neon sign in the darkness

The original My Parents Are Aliens was loads better, the original Sophie was better

apparently it was due to 'health and safety' as if someone is going to get hit by a giant letter G as they're crossing Quay Street

If they were really extensively corroded then they wouldn't be working and they'd want to replace it

I bet this logo goes up soon

Thats a shame, hopefully they will replace it but the orginal would of been better staying as its been there for 50 years. I wish they would open that place up to the public again I loved it there.

I see they changed the old studio entrance too

before

Unlikely, they've been getting rid of or obscuring any traces of 'Granada' for quite a while and replacing them with the generic ITV logo

This was only a matter of time.

That's actually really sad

I remember when I first came up to Manchester, getting all excited when I saw the Granada sign and saying 'ahhhh that's where they film Corrie..omg that's amazing!!'

R.I.P Granada
