That's why I referred to Robeson in my original post. I thought I heard it as Robson. Paul Robeson was very political in his time - he visited the UK several times because he knew we were more liberal and would allow him to speak his mind. He was very popular in Wales because of his socialism and because they love a good singer. I have no idea why a housing estate in Greater Manchester would be named after him, but having said that there's a Nelson Mandela House in every left-wing-run local authority in the land (including Peckham).

Talking of clever scripts and social references, does Roy Cropper still include subtle nods towards Leicester City in his appearances?

So Tracey, who was injured in the minibus crash and never claimed for compo, is suddenly aware of the real world and thinks Luke should sue. And Kevin, who is in the motor trade, didn't seem to know Anna could sue for life changing leg injuries received in a car crash until he overheard a conversation in the pub, is worried that he might get sued by Luke for a cut leg.

Beyond ridiculous.

The characters are only made aware of how the world operates when the script requires them to. Think of it like Westworld, they're all just on their loops.

Extra episode this coming week - Thursday at 8.30pm. Not 6 days a week yet, but we're getting there. Let's hope that quality can be maintained.

PS For those of you with a more open mind, there's a documentary on BBC1 Thursday, also at 8.30pm (you'll have to ask the kids how to record it......) about the acting career of June Brown. She is so much better at acting than other soap stars that it's almost embarrassing, and she's the only rival to Corrie that I can endure. I hadn't realised she'd been trained at the Old Vic Theatre School.

Thanks for the heads up, set to record. I've always thought she's the only decent actor on Enders.

Recording ? That is so last century. Catch up innit ....

June Brown was on Desert Island Discs today ( a wireless programme on the Home Service) and was excellent .

Looks like Luke hasn't forgotten Andy and the way he appears to have dumped his sister. Poor Tracy (not a phrase I thought I'd ever type) gets lumbered with a Valentine's trip to Bristol.

My forecast of a couple of weeks ago has come up trumps - Adam and Rosie - didn't take him long. Mind you, she's what you'd call "easy".

Actually, I still call it taping. Seriously. I mean of course recording on Sky+, although occasionally I use catch-up.

I don't think Sophie would be too interested in Tim's pole.....biggrin

How long before Tracy tells Phelan that Luke was planning the trip to Bristol to try and find Andy?

Exactly what I was thinking at the time. Not that Phelan's got anything to worry about - just because Andy never made it to Bristol doesn't mean something dodgy's happened to him.
