Granted, some of the cast are definitely worse than others (Gail Platt and Steve McDonald for instance), and some of the scripwriting is a bit purple/shallow (Ashley and Claire), but compared with most of the other Soaps I have glimpsed, it stands up pretty well. | Tony (4941) | ||

Some aof the acting is extremley good and the scriptwriting is of a high standard and surprisingly funny. Some of the humour is very subtle. When Sir Ian McKellen (sp??) of LOR + Shakespearean actor played a cameo role for a couple of months, he was stunned at the professionalism of the cast. They learn their lines, no rehersals and one take. It helps that the producers have actors play themselves- slappers play slappers, thick, beer-swilling plonkers are just that. |

| 724995 | 2008-12-05 06:49:00 | I don't watch Coronation Street or any other soap but I do watch other TV programmes that would be considered rubbish by many people - eg Battlestar Galactica - One thing I notice about all the above critics of CS is that none mention what TV programmes they watch - Are they afraid we may laugh at their viewing habits - Also they seem to know all about the production values, the acting abilities and the story lines of the programme - Strange indeed | Dally (6292) | ||

| 724997 | 2008-12-07 10:40:00 | Used to watch it when "Elsie Tanner" was around (In Glorous Black & White!) Now, that lady had a ..."Shelf" !! :clap :clap :clap |
