This week's bonus podcast is another listener questions segment! First up, with the second Downton Abbey movie releasing later this month, Clara wants to know which Coronation Street characters we'd cast in our own Downton-style period drama, and which types of role they'd be given. From the lord and lady of the manor down to the humble servants, we ponder who'd fit where, and what sort of stories might be thrown at them. Next up, Byron asks us about issues-based storylines on Coronation Street, specifically which stories have raised most awareness and had the biggest effect on people's views. We chat about the power that soap has to influence people's opinions, look for tangible examples of where Corrie has brought about change in society, and even share a few interesting stories about soaps from around the world that were commissioned specifically to educated viewers about big local issues.
