In our latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast between the 14th and the 21st December. Christmas is just around the corner - the time to eat, drink and be merry, or, as seemed to be the case in Weatherfield this week, the time to drink, drink and drink. Yes, there were quite a few Corrie characters getting in trouble thanks to the old booze this week: an increasingly paranoid Jenny uses it to numb the pain of her cheating husband possibly straying again; a kaylied Tim pulls Gina into bed with him and Brian discovers that a bellyful of shots and being swung on a harness on stage at school don't mix. Also this week, Audrey receives some sad news about Archie Shuttleworth, and Evelyn gets her hands on Roy's woody. After Street Talk, we recount our recent trip to Manchester, where we had the pleasure of watching Connor McIntyre and Les Dennis camping it up on stage as the ugly sisters in the Opera House's rendition of Cinderella - a brilliant show, and well worth the long car journey up north to see it! As it was a bit of a slow news week (and we were already running over time anyway), we skip The Kabin this week, and finish off the show with some listener emails.
