I absolutely ADORE Corrie.
I have been brought up watching it and I just love the whimsicle nature of the characters and their adventures.
I can’t STAND Eastenders though. So depressing, full of doom and gloom and whinning Cockneys.

@ Judith
Ha Ha Coronation Street is a UK soap which started in 1960 based in Manchester, although filmed in the Salford part of Manchester!
It just kind of focuses on the lives of some families in Manchester, it is good, it’s been around that long it’s kind something most people watch I think!
It airs on ITV one in the UK!

The studio for the show is based in Salford (not too far from me) and use to be a tourist attraction for people all over the world, you could walk down the real street, and visit the famous pub etc.. but they closed it down as a tourist attraction around 7 years ago now which was a shame as it was good to go too!!

It’s also kind of additive!
I wanna see fireworks at the wedding next week...
BTW Eastenders is sometimes okay, sometimes too depressing...
