Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2018 Obsessed with it. Its on Drama every day. The acting is shocking. "Stupid Turk" Ali (Nick Cotton's words, not mine) doesnt just set the bar, he is the bar. Fucking dreadful. Mary the Punk is hilarious, though. She moans about everything. Lou Beale hates blacks, Asians, gays, you name it. Its a cast of amazing characters. You cant keep your eyes off them. Arthur Fowler cant find a job, but also cant be arsed to look for one. There's a pair of Asians (cant act to save their lives), who got "go home wogs" sprayed all over their shop. Quite a major storyline, you'd think. A horrible hate crime, targetting this couple. It was all forgotten about 10 minutes later. The wife went to see Pauline and they had a cuppa. All was right with the world. The best character in it by far is Rolly the Dog. The producers let him run free. They'll be doing their lines, and Rolly will jump on the bar and put his face into Lofty's trying to steal the scene.

Porkchopcash Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) As a man who doesnt sleep well ive started watching a few at 1am, as a kid i loved it, it doesnt do it for me like the old corries or neighbours or home and aways. It’s to grim. It got in its groove a couple years after it started but still its to grim. As for hate crimes, Alf Garnett was still calling his lodger a Coon or is it Koon? Till 1989. On bbc1 on a thursday night. Edited September 14, 2018 by Porkchopcash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be getting the timeline all wrong, but I'm certain during the build to this episode, Nigel is put in hospital with a suspected heart attack and they Doctor reveals its actually wind, brought on by stressing out over the team selection. Which adds more evidence this should have been a 90 minute spin off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) If you look at the background in the Queen Vic pub (on the wall) during those shows shown on the Drama channel, a lot of shit is blurred out. Very odd, but it's probably Page 3, but they never had that many on the wall. Edited September 15, 2018 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they'll skip over a few episodes. Edited September 15, 2018 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted September 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 Who shot Phil was a fantastic little saga. Don’t have enough of this ‘Whodunnit?’ Shenanigans on TV these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a woman with her tits out on the wall, which I suppose you could get away with pre-watershred in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armitage Shanks Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I've been watching Classic Corrie on ITV3. Its been late 80s/early 90s but it no where near as gritty as Classic Eastenders. Nothing really happens in it. I've still enjoyed it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
