Conversation Street

On this week's podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 22nd and the 26th September. Todd's been asking for trouble for a while now, and this week he finally gets what's coming to him when Eileen kicks him out onto the street. Meanwhile, Liz makes a big sacrifice for the sake of her friendship with Deirdre, Maddie impresses Carla at the factory, and Andrea hangs about outside the Rovers - literally! In the Kabin, there's some great news for our Canadian listeners, whilst in the feedback section, we play our first ever Skype voicemail. This week's character profile is a bit of a special one: get ready for Part 1 of the epic tale that is... Ken Barlow!

On this week's podcast, we discuss the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 15th and the 19th September. Following his time in hospital, Peter's back in the Big House, making an enemy out of Jim after blabbing to Tracy about his booze supply. We're not sure how the Landlord will be getting his revenge just yet, but we're sure it'll be a tad worse than the fruit-related naughtiness that Todd gets up to this week in an attempt to get back at Tony. Meanwhile, as Neil's Atomic Kitten irritates Andrea, a stowaway Eccles gets up Tim's nose at Number 4. In the news section, we find out which Corrie star will be appearing in this year's Christmas Doctor Who, and we round off the show with a couple of emails. In the week of the Scottish referendum, our character profile is on classic Corrie bad guy and haggis muncher, Tony Gordon.

There's a whole load to be discussed in The Kabin this week, including some happy news for our New Zealand fans, and in the feedback section, a listener writes in defence of Len Fairclough.

This week saw the Barlows head off to commune with nature in Wales, and we finally get the answer to the question that everyone's always wondered: who would win in a stare-off between Deirdre and a sheep? Back in Weatherfield, Neil abandons his job in the Philippines to become a full-time creepy stalker, and Leanne has a smashing time at Kylie's birthday party in the Bistro. In the Kabin this week, we talk about Anthony Cotton's struggle for acceptance by the gay community after joining Corrie, while in the feedback section, some listeners pay a final 'tribute' to Jenna.

On the latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 1st and the 8th August, so we do. This week saw the return of two old favourites to the show: first off, Ken's back from Canada and is outraged to discover that Peter's been banged up on suspicion of Tina's murder. It's just a relief that he didn't bump into Roy at all, as the news of Weatherfield Library going up in flames probably would have finished him off! This week also saw the return of Jim McDonald - desperate times have called for desperate measures for Peter, and it seems like The Landlord has got just the 'measures' that he needs... As we're still feeling francophile after our recent holiday across the Channel, instead of a character profile this week, we look back at Corrie's links with France. Voulez-vous nous écouter ce soir?

Peter and Tina, on the other hand, are still managing to keep their affair a secret, but with Rob sniffing around after his brother-in-law, how long will they be able to keep it under wraps? In the Kabin, we talk about the BAFTAs and Paula Lane's recent wedding (fans of Gemma's fashion segments will be happy!), whilst we share a listener email in defence of Sophie in the feedback section.
