Jez Quigley.

I know who Jez Quigley is, I was wondering if Jez was who the previous two posters were thinking of - before one of them edited his post! Sneaky...



But not sneaky enough

Now if you’d said Jed Stone off of Corrie, I might’ve believed you!

Ah, "Sunny Jim", Minnie Caldwell's lodger in the early 60's along with "Bobby" the cat.

Erm, I've decided not to make 'the stars of Coronation Street' my specialist subject next time I'm on Mastermind...

Is this the end for Chesney?

[coppice]

The nation hold its breath- and keeps its fingers crossed we have seen the last of failed Pinocchio tribute act Ches.

I've been out of the loop a week - what did I miss?

Will her be wearing a white suit?

I doubt it. The "da-da-daaaaa" ending with the shot of his phone lying next to the canal probably means he simply left it behind in his moment of distress. Corrie can be very simplistic sometimes.

(Plus there's nothing in my TV guide for Friday's episodes which mentions Ches - no news is good news. Sorry fot this "sort of" spoiler).

Mind you, the Corrie Crew have surprised us all recently. Good stuff at the moment, which makes up for that short period a few weeks back when we were all moaning about how weak the scripts had become.

He just reminds me of a fat Brian Harvey from East 17.

If only he'd "stayed another day".

For all his obvious faults, I reckon Phelan would be old-school villain, and not take too kindly to drug dealers. Wouldn't that be great in the Street ? Phelan up against Jez? Worth the licence fee, that.

You don't pay a licence fee to watch ITV.....

Yes you do. Whilst all the money goes tot he BBC, you pay the licence fee to watch any channel at the time of broadcast.

ITV gets it's funding from various sources, mainly advertising revenue, but also it's studio operations, selling it's shows all over the world, such as Coronation Street, period dramas etc.

As far as I am aware, (and I may be wrong) it does not get one single penny from the TV licence.

Hence I stand by my original statement ...

However, I concede that as you cannot watch ITV in isolation, you need (legally) to have a TV licence to view terrestrial television, of which ITV forms a part.

Sinatra playing in the background when Mary's talking to Bethany before the big day - "Let's face the music and dance". "There'll be trouble ahead...."

[nicanary]

Before the programme started the announcer said "some viewers may find scenes distressing" - I immediately thought "Eileen in her underwear".

Poor Rita's gone ga-ga. Gets ready for the wedding and then forgets what she's ready for.

My satellite connection failed at 7.50pm. B*gger! Now I don't want to watch the second episode until I've seen the rest of the first on Catch-Up.

PS Thanks to the wonders of digital tech I'm now back on course. A couple of good episodes, as usual for Fridays. Eileen's white Zoe miraculously transformed into a silver Korean car of some sort. I wondered why the sound of a petrol engine was coming from her car. Now I reckon she's going to follow Pat one day for a laugh, and see him enter the abandoned house of doom. Just my thoughts.

It's still a Zoe she has - was the other one white? I think it was. They seemed to dub an engine sound on. They did that before then the week after forgot to do it!
