Trivia:
The only time the series' theme tune has been significantly rearranged for transmission was in episode 1170 in April 1972, where Emily Nugent married Ernie Bishop. Steve Race provided a jazz interpretation of Eric Spear's music, which played the episode out over a shot of Albert Tatlock and Minnie Caldwell walking down the Street from the wedding reception. Coronation Street: Viva Las Vegas! (1997) (V), a video-only soap-bubble, featured a suitably transatlantic cover courtesy of Mike Stock and Matt Aitken. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the episode, 22/11/2004, (where Dev's corner shops are blown up by Maya) Dev drives his Saab to the shop which is about to be blown up, he parks the car directly outside the shop. Also parked directly outside the shop is another car. As the shop blows up, the camera changes angle to show the blast and Dev's car has somehow disappeared, just leaving the other car in shot. moreQuotes:
Cilla Brown: You call the airport and I call the police, Hayley. Now before your lady's done a bing-bong, there'll be armed police swarming all over him![Hayley puts the phone down slowly and angrily]
Cilla Brown: There's a good girlie-boy!

My mother was Scottish and my dad was British, so I was raised on watching Coronation Street. For the last 35 years (at least) not a week has gone by with catching up at the Rover's return. Unfortunately, here in Canada we seem to be quite behind the times, we are at the stage where Peter is revealed as a bigamist, Martin admits to the affair with Katie etc...etc... But I will continue to watch C.S.loyally. I'm addicted, and so is my wife of 10 years. She wasn't to fussy at the beginning but after watching now, it would be instant death if I didn't get her up at 8 a.m. for our 2 hour Sunday constitutional.
Our next trip to England we hope maybe for a tour of the set. It would be the icing on the cake, if I could surprise her with this holiday treat. Thanks for allowing me this moment to reflect on the great time we've had watching and will continue to watch our favorite show
