One of them has Simons dad stood outside?

Typical "soap police" - one of them delivers a couple of wooden lines, and the others look like they want to be out of shot as fast as possible. Are they just passers-by rounded up and dressed for a "you've been on telly" moment?

Where did the Punto come from? Borrowed for the occasion, like the "family-sized" tent?

I thought it was good of the copper that interviewed Sarah to walk back to the station. Hyundai and BMW police car arrived and both drove off with Callum leaving the interviewing copper behind lol

[Oakey]

I also like how, on report of someone possessing a firearm, regular old BiB just rock up at The Rovers to arrest him.

Callums plan of stitching Bethany up seemed flawed as well, what with the photos of her taking drugs being taken in his apartment and all.

The new Rovers has an extra window upstairs! What's my prize?

Well I've been studying these all day:-

Both properties appear to be in generally sound condition, (bearing in mind the age). it is evident that the front elevations have had some remedial work done to them, sometime ago.

I would recommend the guttering gets checked for blockages, and some flashing appears to be loose on one of the chimneys in the top photograph.

I would certainly recommend a dpc check at some stage, as rising damp could be a problem and an inspection of the cellars would be prudent, especially as the properties are situated in Manchester, which is noted for it's heavy rainfall.

In addition there appears to have been some work enlarging the property in the lower photograph, I would suggest getting in touch with Weatherfied district council, to ensure all the relevent planning applications have been submitted.

I would recommend a retention of 15% on the mortgage, until the above points have been clarified.

ah.. but do you know why?






















....the new set is built to 100% lifesize not 75-80% life size as the old (single window) set.

Is the game up for Callum?

Max saw with his own eyes what a rat he is when he witnessed Callum sticking the boot into Jason, assisted by his two apes.....(Who both looked as scary as Andy Pandy btw).

Must say Paddy M'cGuinness is taking a good part off as Weatherfield's answer to Bear Grylls......

As leader of the outdoor adventurers, he is responsible for their only box of matches. If you fall out with him things can get awkward when it comes to lighting the campfire - "No likey, No lighty....."

He could always give them a bit of Paddy love........and send them off to Fernando's.......

The camping adventure is another example of the immutable truth that if you take soap characters off the usual set not only do they lose all acting ability , the scriptwriters also lose any ability to write plausible lines. Just dire.

McGuinness is making me cringe like you wouldn't believe

Sinead has made a remarkable recovery. On crutches last week, and yomping up hills thru the forest with no more than a tree branch this week.

I thought the same thing. She was limping slightly on the pavement in the Street, but now she only needs a roughly-hewn shaft (ooooo.....Matron!) to help her get up forest slopes.

Again I tempt the wrath of Operation Yewtree (Bethany's bott), but I have to say that Paddy's daughter is a pretty little thing, and I reckon the scriptwriters are a bit optimistic if they think she'd be interested in Craig. Mind you, Raquel married Curly, so there's hope for us all.

And talking of hope - mustn't say any more.

But she's an artist, and can see his inner beauty!

I think Craig is one of the best actors in the show. He has a real future as an actor. I can see him being a kind of new Martin Clunes, so ugly he's adored by women and a mainstay of British TV for years to come.

Didn't Callums car have a roll cage in it before now? It seems to have gone missing....
