On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 21st and the 25th December (Episodes #10199 - 10205).
This week, Christmas comes to Weatherfield and the residents of the Street are marking the occasion the only way they know how: with backstabbing, betrayal and breakups. Fortunately, it's not all gloom and doom, as we also get to enjoy some cosy family time as Toyah and Imran get their first taste of fostering, and David and Shona work through their problems to re-enact their wedding day in the factory. Will their newfound acceptance of each other last, or will David's preference for the old Shona linger like a carroty bunny trump? Only time will tell, but for now at least, it looks like Christmas 2020 was a positive way to end a difficult year.
We round off the podcast with a new iTunes review, some comments about our recent discussion of the late 80s on Corrie, and more theories on who bashed Adam in the feedback section.

For this week's bonus episode, we thought it might be fun to answer some Christmas themed questions sent in by our listeners. What would Corrie characters get from their Secret Santa? Who would we invite round for Christmas lunch? What does Christmas on Coronation Street mean to us? What does Dirk do during the festive period? All these topics and more are covered in this special edition of the podcast!

Merry Christmas everyone! As an extra treat for you this year, we thought we'd upload one of our previously Patreon exclusive bonus episodes onto our main feed!
Each month on Patreon, we release a bonus show centred around a particular Top 5. In this episode, originally recorded back in January, we count down our Top 5 most wanted 60th anniversary gimmicks. Based on an idea from a lovely listener, we came up with lists of what we'd want to see ITV making to mark Corrie's 60th anniversary, and not just a plain old live episode either - this was the chance to let our imaginations run wild! Now that the anniversary's actually over, we thought it might be fun for you to see what might have been - and indeed, if we actually got any of our wishes!
We hope you enjoy this little taste of our Patreon content, and of course, we'd like to take the opportunity to thank all our patrons for their ongoing support.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 14th and the 18th December (Episodes #10193 - 10198).
There's plenty of dodgy activity going on this week as the suspects in Adam's attempted murder case scrabble around to cover their tracks and make sure they have an alibi for the evening. The jury's still out on whether it was one of ITV's official suspects or if it was someone like Simon or even Faye, but we know one thing for sure: even if Gary didn't do it, he could still be in for a visit from the police if Sarah gets her wish and Rick Neelan's body is found. Meanwhile, Debbie tries to find a compromise with the local rabble raisers, Paul's on call, and it looks like Toyah and Imran might be in line for an extra special Christmas..
In The Kabin, we share our early impressions of the new Corrie app (to which we're both hopelessly addicted, but we promise that's not the reason behind this podcast's lateness!) and we finish off the show with more of your listener feedback.

The end of 2020 is nearly here, which means the return of the Conversation Street Awards! The past twelve months have seen their fair share of heroes and villains on the cobbles, but which characters and storylines are most deserving of praise?
With COVID-19 impacting the number of episodes produced, the way filming is done and the sort of scenes that can be shot, it's not necessarily been as easy as usual to come up with nominations for all the awards (thank goodness at least some characters got into fights in the first half of the year!), but we still think there are some tough choices to be made in most of the categories!
Results will be revealed in our annual awards show around New Year, but first, have a listen to us discussing the nominees then pick your winners! The listener poll count for two thirds of the overall vote, and Gemma and Michael will get the rest, so make sure you cast your vote!

On our special 60th anniversary edition of the podcast, we chat about the goings on on the cobbles between the 7th and the 11th December (Episodes #10187 - 10192)
The diggers are revving their engines this week as Ray orders the demolition of the brewery, but when a plucky Abi commandeers one of the machines and plunges the street into blackness, the stage is set for one of Corrie's darkest weeks in a good while. From Imran's impassioned speech in court to the rooftop drama with Geoff and the surprise twist at the end of Friday's episode that will no doubt keep everyone guessing until the end of the year and beyond, there's a lot of ground to cover in this week's Street Talk, but the big question is, did it live up to all the hype?
In The Kabin, we share our thoughts on some of Corrie's special programmes that have been put out to mark the anniversary both on and offline, including Monday's 60 Unforgettable Years documentary and of course, the very welcome return of Corrie Good News.
Finally, we round off the show with a selection of listener comments about how the anniversary week went down.

For our bonus podcast this week, we're thrilled to be joined by Street legend Sally Dynevor, who talks to us about her highlights from her 35 years on the show playing Sally. We find out what it was like to work alongside Jean Alexander in those early years, learn what she really thinks about playing such a snobbish character, and pick her brains about what it is that she thinks has kept the ex-mayor of Weatherfield so fresh for all these years. What a treat for Corrie's 60th anniversary week!

On our latest podcast, we have a good old chat about what went on in Corrie between the 30th November and the 4th December (Episodes #10175 - 10180).
It's the week of Yasmeen's trial, and with Geoff doing whatever he can to derail the case, Imran's got his work cut out if he wants her to stand a chance of being released in time for the 60th anniversary celebrations next week.. Meanwhile, Abi dons her superhero costume once again after discovering Ray's plans to knock down half the street, but has she left it too late to stop him - and as viewers, have we been given enough reason to care either way? Also this week, Peter grows suspicious of Carla, Daisy does her best to come between Jenny and Johnny, and Oliver says his final goodbyes to Weatherfield in the back of a red taxi.
The Corrie news is coming thick and fast at the moment, and The Kabin sees us discussing a variety of topics including the upcoming mobile game, William Roache's fabulous new portrait, and this week's parliamentary debate on our favourite soap. We round things off with a couple of bits of feedback.

For this week's bonus podcast, we share our thoughts on Corrie between 1985 and 1989 as we finally reach the halfway point in the show's history so far. This was the period we said hello to the likes of Jenny and Sally, and bid a sad farewell to Hilda. It was all change at the Rovers with a new landlady and a new look following the 1986 fire, and with big stories including Brian's stabbing and Alan Bradley's reign of terror, there's certainly no lack of material for us to chat about!
