Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode 68

In this week's podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 11th and the 13th November. With only three episodes to talk about, Street Talk is a little shorter this week, but we still have plenty to say about Todd's new job, Simon's brush with the law and Jane's funeral. And on the subject of funerals, let's hope that after this week, Tommy and Tina's relationship can finally be laid to rest, and people will stop talking about him! In the news section, we celebrate the return of the Corriefest next July, whilst the feedback section sees us discussing how Roy has been dealing with Hayley's determination to end her own life. With Tina taking on the job of looking after Simon this week, we take a look a look at a childminder from Corrie's past in our character profile section: Claire Peacock.

Conversation Street Episode 67

On the latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast between the 4th and the 8th November. We've been celebrating fireworks night this week in the UK, and over on the cobbles, sparks have been flying thanks to Todd's return. He's got plenty of tales to tell about his life in London, but can we really trust him? Meanwhile, Roy's been doing a touch of decorating in anticipation of Hayley's return home, though we soon find out that it'll take more than that to paper over the cracks in his and Hayley's relationship. There's loads for us to discuss in The Kabin this week, including the amazing news that the Coronation Street set is going to be reopened to the public in the Spring. The character profile section this week is all about Todd Grimshaw.

Conversation Street Episode 66

This week on the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 28th October and the 1st November. It's been Halloween and  we've seen our fair share of monstrous figures on the cobbles this week: Nick's been doing his best Jekyll and Hyde impression since coming out of his coma; screeching harpy Tina is still getting involved in everyone else's problems; evil little imp Grace is causing more mischief for Sally and Anna; whilst the witches grim - Stella, Gloria and Leanne - have been having a good old moan at the Bistro.  Our character profile for Halloween week is Corrie's scariest ever villain - Richard Hillman,  then we round off the show by discussing Corrie's grisliest moments in the feedback section.

Conversation Street Episode 65

On this week's episode of Conversation Street, we chat about the Corrie episodes broadcast in the UK between the 21st and the 25th October. It's certainly been a good week for break ups, with Sophie and Jenna finally coming to their senses and calling it a day, whilst Tina's involvement in David's woes has led Tommy to make a hasty exit. Meanwhile, Roy and Hayley still aren't seeing eye to eye, and Sally and Tim only manage to stay together by the skin of their teeth.  We share our thoughts on all of this in Street Talk, as well as discussing Chesney's latest job offer and making a startling revelation about the true cause of Tina's orange hue. In The Kabin, we have a look at how Corrie fared at the Inside Soap Awards, while the feedback section sees us wondering what famous Corrie props should show up at Barlow's Buys. In the character profile section we take a look at Tommy and ask whether this could be the end of the line for the Duckworths on the Street.

Conversation Street Episode 64

On the latest episode of the podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes broadcast in the UK between the 13th and the 18th October. This week, we got to see some fantastic scenes between Roy and Hayley, as they headed off to Blackpool to tread the boards at the Tower Ballroom. Back in Weatherfield, the 'Who's The Daddy?' storyline finally reaches its climax, with the Platts renouncing the devil (aka David) at Lily's christening. Meanwhile, there's a welcome return for an old face at the Rovers. Instead of the usual character profile, we take a look back at Corrie's history with Blackpool, before finishing off with some discussion about Corrie's latest celebrity fan.

Conversation Street Episode 63

This week on Conversation Street, we talk about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 4th and the 9th October. What did we make of Hayley's new friend from the cancer support group? Which unpopular character has had a complete turnaround in our opinions this week? And who's gone to live on a farm with Auntie Pam? All this and more will be revealed! Our character profile this week is loveable baker's daughter Molly Dobbs, who went from crumpets to strumpet during her short time in the show. We also uncover more than a few similarities between her final year in the Street and the current storyline with the Platts. Not a huge amount of news this week, but in the feedback section, we share listeners' opinions about who should be next to be taken down a peg or two by Nick.

Conversation Street Episode 62

This week on the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast between the 30th September and the 2nd October. We've got a busy few days coming up this weekend, so we've had to record early, with this show ending up being one of our shortest in months. Never fear, though, as we still manage to pack in plenty of discussion on such topics as Leanne's comedy interpretation of Nick's mumblings, Tina's shocking moment out of character, and Hayley coming to term with her fear of puppets. Speaking of which, we also bid a joyful farewell to Ryan Connor, Corrie's very own irritating wooden performer.

Conversation Street Episode 61

This week on the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 23rd and the 27th September. It's all change at the Rovers this week, as Michelle gets herself a barmaid's job and Steve offers to buy the pub from Stella. Meanwhile, as Hayley finally gets to meet her son, Kylie has a Christian of her own to contend with at number 8. Following a stellar acting performance from Ben Price this week, we thought it only right to cover Nick Tilsley in the character profile section. We round off the podcast with a spot of news, including Corrie's latest victory over rival Emmerdale, and a few bits of feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 60

On Episode 60 of Conversation Street, we talk about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 16th and the 20th September 2013. We try something different with Street Talk this week, having cut down on the notes taken to try and make the conversation sound more organic and less wooden, like we're just reading off a script. So basically we're trying to sound less like Ryan Connor. We'd appreciate any feedback you have on this change, good or bad, so please let us know! There's a lot of chat this week, of course, about the preparations for Roy's birthday party, including a look at where we think the Croppers are in the five stages of grief. On a more upbeat note, we have a good laugh discussing Sally's hopeless relationship with Tim, and the Fiz-Tyrone-Sinead-Chesney storyline left us with a warm, fuzzy feeling by the end of the week. With the reintroduction of Hayley's controversial son Christian, we chat about what we would like to erase from Coronation Street's history, and our classic character profile is on a Street legend with a long-lost son of her own: the iconic Bet Lynch.

Conversation Street Episode 59

On this week's podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 8th and the 13th September. Roll out the beige carpet and tart up the back room of Weatherfield Register Office - Stell's bells are ringing as the wedding of the year finally arrives. But will Detectives Alahan and Grimshaw crack the case of the Rovers fire in time - or will it be Karl who's cracking under pressure? Meanwhile, Sally's skiving off work for another steamy session with Tim, and Audrey has an unexpected bedroom encounter of her own... We celebrate the acquittal of Michael Le Vell in The Kabin, discuss Helen Flanagan's powerful bosom, and hear exactly what Vicky Entwhistle thinks of her charming Geordie housemate in Celebrity Big Brother. Our character profile this week is Karl Munro.
