Coronation Street

Over the years there have been Coronation St specials and also an early spin-off series (called Pardon the Expression), and that's the type of thing I will be listing here - not the regular weekly programmes. Special occassions may be added (weddings, the family tree series from 2006), notable appearances by stars - Peter Kay, Ian McKellern etc.)

I have a copy of the first ever episode (it was re-broadcast about 1990 I think around the time of the 30th anniversary) I need to locate it in my collection and add details for that below, but I have it if you want it.

So, if you want to trade anything (for anything on the whole site) then that's OK. Click the email link below and tell me what you have. Thanks.

Coronation Street - Knight's Tale

An hilarious new feature length film from the Nation’s favourite soap Coronation Street. Curly Watts and Reg Holdsworth, two of Britain’s most enduring comedy soap characters, are being reunited in a special, A Knight’s Tale.

They are joined by Norris Cole, Mary Taylor, Rosie Webster and Jason Grimshaw in a comedy of errors set at a medieval weekend. Curly, now a high flying businessman with a chain of hotels under his Armani belt, is giving Reg a chance to prove himself by hosting a medieval banquet weekend at Tatlock Towers.

Things get off to a rocky start when Reg hires Rosie Webster as a serving wench under false pretences and sets his sights on Mary Taylor, despite her attachment to poor Norris. A Knights Tale also stars Brian Capron in a cameo as a ‘Dickie the boatman’ and Jeremy Edwards (Holby City, Dancing on Ice) as plastic surgeon Uri.

Famous Rich & Homeless

In 2009 recession and repossession mean homelessness is a frightening possibility for almost everyone. But for five famous volunteers, it's about to become a terrifying reality.

Former tennis star Annabel Croft, The One Show's Hardeep Singh Kohli, journalist and writer Rosie Boycott, former Coronation Street actor Bruce Jones and the Marquis of Blandford put homelessness in the spotlight by agreeing to swap their lavish lifestyles, fame and fortune for a world of sleeping rough, soup runs and hostels.

All five have earned success, recognition and, in some cases, notoriety in their chosen fields but, with everything they value stripped away and just a sleeping bag as a symbol of their new life, how will they adjust to being invisible, vulnerable and desperate as a homeless person in London today? Hankies at the ready as this is a real heart tugger and will make you want to give give give to the street people you ignore daily. Well it did me.
