 Anybody see this earlier tonight? I loved it, I thought it was so nostalgic and was great how the BBC acknowledged Corrie for what it is, 'legendary'. Jessie Wallace was outstanding and almost unrecognisable as Pat Phoenix and Lynda Baron was the SPIT of Ena Sharples. Great show but I thought it would have been better on BBC One or Two because not alot of the 'older generation' who perhaps witnessed the debut of Coronation Street may not have access to BBC Four? IDK just my thoughts on it but yeah. Really enjoyed it! |

^ It was REALLY good, can't stress enough. I think you'll love it seeing as you're (I presume) a huge Coronation Street fan?

lol yeah, I saw a bit of the start, Tony Warren is a really nice man, so it's good seeing a drama about him

It was a brilliant piece of television. So brilliant to see how it all began and all the trouble they had with commissioning it. It was funny seeing an Eastenders actress in a programme about Coronation Street though lol

It's on in 15 minutes for those who missed it, on BBC Four, I'm watching it again for sure.

This drama was fantastic.
Who knew what a hardship it was to get the executives to commission the show. Imagine if Corrie had never happened. |

Brilliant. Fantastic cast too: Jessie Wallace, Lynda Baron and Sophia Di Martino. Weird that it was on BBC4 though.

Just found out that there were various connections with Corontion Street and the actors that I didn't know about.
The cleaner lady Agnes is Antony Cotton's mother and the lady on the desk Brenda was played by Michelle Holmes who was in Coronation Street as Tina Fowler! Anyone spot any other Corrie alumni? Last edited by LaLaLand; 18-09-2010 at 11:47 PM. |

Finally watched it this evening. I loved it, it started a little slow, but I understood that was how it was back then. I guess I was waiting for the main cast to come along, and when they did I was loving it, to a point where I found it quite emotional at the end.
The sound of the theme tune came & all I wanted to do was sit and watch the first 6 episodes. Great casting, Jessie Wallace & Linda Baron stole the show for me.
