Conversation Street

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 26th and the 30th August. There's a welcome return for the Jan storyline this week, as he's back to the street to offer Eileen a new life in Aberdeen before being gunned down at a truck stop. Fortunately, as Craig proved last week after walking away from being hit by a car with barely a scratch,...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 19th and the 23rd August. In much the same fashion as its fast food namesake, the Weatherfield McDonald empire has been expanding rapidly of late, and this week, poor Emma finds that she is the latest branch on the family tree. After a great little cameo from Fiona Middleton, 21 years after her last appearance...

On our latest podcast, in addition to celebrating the seventh anniversary of Conversation Street, we discuss the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 9th and the 16th August. With eight episodes to go over, that makes for a fairly lengthy Street Talk, and for those of you who had managed to forget the quite frankly baffling turn of events last Friday with Gary and his magical key finding...

It's an early podcast this week, covering the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 5th and the 7th August. You know what? We actually quite enjoyed Corrie this week, with Wednesday's set of episodes in particular keeping us hooked thanks to the mystery of Jan's allegiences. On top of that, we had a story with Toyah, Imran and Claudia (what's not to love?), comedy with Evel...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 29th July and the 2nd August. This week - at last! - Seb discovers the horrific truth about the Sparkle Lounge being the centre of a modern slavery ring. Will he rescue Alina? Is Jan really a wrong 'un? Will Rachel, the evil manicurist, finally get nailed? There's certainly a lot to discuss with this story!...

On our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 22nd and the 26th July. This week, Gemma gets a shock when her mum turns up at the Rovers - though that's nothing compared to the surprise that awaits Chesney the next morning after Bernie's stayed over for the night! Meanwhile, the gig's up for Steve and Tim when Tracy and Liz catch t...

It's time for another dose of Conversation Street, and in this episode, we're chatting about the week of the 15th - 19th July. We all know that unlikely coincidences are often the backbone of soap plot progression, but this week, Corrie seemed to be playing that particular card a bit too freely. Whether it's Paula turning out to know Jan, Sarah jumping to the correct conclusion about the circumsta...

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 8th and the 12th July. This week saw one main storyline taking up a lot of screen time, and it just so happened to be the one that Michael was convinced last week that Corrie would be putting on hiatus for a while! But were we pleased to see more Platt family drama, and what did we make of the outcome o...

On our latest podcast, we dissect the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 24th and the 28th June. This week, it seems like things are really hotting up in the Weatherfield's Next Top Villain competition, with Geoff now throwing his hat into the ring by gaslighting Yasmeen. Perhaps in retaliation, nearest competitor Gary ups the stakes further by taking over Rick's loan shark busines...

On our latest podcast, we dig through the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 17th and the 21st June. Speaking of digging, Gary gets his hands dirty this week as his descent into villainy continues, killing Rick Neelan after being jumped in the woods and burying him in a shallow grave. That's not the only hole to feature this week either, as the war through the wall rages...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 7th and the 14th June. This week's big talking point is, of course, the introduction of the Bailey family at number 3. It's been a long while since a new family's moved onto the terraced side of the street, so all eyes were on Ed, Aggie, Michael and James to make a good first impression - which,...

With our schedule all over the place, this has turned out to be our third podcast in less than a week (no more for a little while, we promise!). This time, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 3rd and the 5th June. This week, Nick's in for a bit of a shock when he finds out that David's double crossed him over the ownership of the barber's, but that's not...

In this special, stand-alone episode, we recount our trip to Manchester last weekend, where we not only got to tour behind the scenes at the Coronation Street set thanks to an invite from Charlie De Melo, but we also went along to be in the audience at the British Soap Awards! During our time at Media City, we checked out the new Victoria Street set, both inside and out, explored the sprawling int...

We've had a bit of a busy old time this weekend thanks to our trip up to Manchester, and coming back home just this evening meant that we've had to make this a very barebones podcast, sticking to only chatting about last week's episodes of Corrie. We still managed to get two hours out of it, though, what with it being the annual Britain's Got Talent week, or, to put it another way, the week where...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 17th and the 24th May. This week, Nick's lies look set to come home to roost as the Toyah and Leanne hunt for evidence that might prove he's been up no good, and Natalie threatens to dob him in to the dibble over Audrey's stolen money. Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse for Steve at Street Ca...

We're away this weekend, which means an early podcast, focusing on the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 13th and the 15th May. This week, Roy returns from Portsmouth to find that Carla is on the run, but when she shows up at the cafe in a clearly disturbed state, can he convince her she can trust him? Meanwhile, Seb's Romanian romance continues to blossom, Street Cars face...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 6th and the 10th May. This week, we welcome back to Norris, who returns to Weatherfield after his time away with Freda and Emily - and considering his first scene included Mary dropping an urn on the floor, getting Freda in a headlock and shrieking bloody murder at the top of her voice, it's a su...

It's time for another podcast, and with Michael croaking his way through a throat infection, it's over to Gemma to do the majority of the talking, this week focusing on the episodes of Corrie broadcast between the 29th April and the 3rd May. With the mystery of who's responsible for the factory roof collapse still ongoing, all eyes were focused on Nick this week after Toyah discovered Wayne's stol...

On our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 22nd and the 26th April. After last week's disastrous caravanning story, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed watching Gemma this week - though we're not especially happy with the latest pregnancy twist. Also this week, there's something mysterious going on between Jan and S...

On this week's podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 15th and the 19th April. Happy Easter, everyone! Well, we say happy, but we must admit, we don't remember the last time we were so down on a string of Corrie episodes as we were with these ones, with the chief offending storyline being Chesney and Gemma's wet week in a caravan, which only reinfo...

In our latest episode of the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 8th and the 12th April.

Meanwhile, Chesney starts to realise that he may have made a mistake swapping Emma for Gemma, Brian doesn't see th...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 24th and the 29th March. The dust may have settled in Underworld following last week's roof collapse, but outside the factory, the drama's only just beginning, with a number of street residents doing their best to hide just how much they might be to blame for the disaster. With the case being tho...

In our latest podcast - an early edition what with there being no Friday Corrie this week - we share our thoughts on the dramatic goings on in Weatherfield between the 18th and the 20th March. This week saw Kanage on the cobbles, as the roof of Underworld came crashing down onto some of the street's residents in spectacular fashion. As we say ta-ra to Rana, we reflect on how successful these much-...
