Conversation Street

On our latest podcast, we review the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 15th and the 19th May. Well, this was certainly a week that saw a massive improvement from start to finish! Though we weren't impressed by more whingy Nick and Leanne on Monday, the script sparkled on Wednesday thanks to some hilarious lines from the likes of Mary and Rosie. As for Friday, well with the...

On our latest podcast, we talk all things Corrie in the week of the 8th to the 12th May. What a way to start the week that was! Tracy in court, Amy alone in the Peak District, Rob handing himself in... Our fingers were on fire as we were typing the notes for Monday's episode! Then on Wednesday, Ken squints and starts to remember the day he was attacked, and then... and then... Oh. More whingy Mich...

Welcome to Episode 250 of Conversation Street! For the past week, we've been up in Manchester on another Coronation Street pilgrimage, and in this very special episode, we give you the full run down of all the Corrie-related things we've been getting up to.

It's time for Episode 249 of the podcast, and even though we've been having an amazing time in Manchester this week, you're going to have to wait just a little bit longer before you hear about it, because this episode focuses squarely on Corrie between the 17th and the 19th April. There are shocks and surprises galore this week, starting with the revelation - at last! - that Shona is actually Clay...

Our Conversation Street duck's got his bunny ears on again, so that can only mean one thing: Easter is here! And what egg-citing adventures did our favourite bunch of northerners get up to this week, then? Well, the 'who pushed Ken?' mystery got a bit of a week off this week, but luckily, the Sally troll storyline still gave us the chance to do a bit of speculating. At least we don't think it's go...

This weekend's podcast covers the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 3rd and the 7th April. This week, Ken's woken up from his coma, but, of course, has no idea who'se the one that put him there. We're pretty convinced it's Little Miss Moneybags at the moment, but even so, we're absolutely loving the twists and turns the story's taking. What really went on between Peter and Chloe?...

In this weekend's podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 27th and the 31st March. We knew it! We said last week that all that Ken drama was going to build up to some kind of whodunnit, and this week, we were proven right. The Phantom Barlow Basher struck on Monday night's episodes, whacking Ken on the head and pushing him down the stairs as he went up...

On this episode of Conversation Street, we take a look at Corrie between the 20th and the 24th March. With there being no Wednesday visit to the cobbles, it literally was a week of two halves - but fortunately, the episodes themselves were consistently fantastic. Ken Barlow was once again at the front and centre this week, and we loved it - his scene with Sinead in number one where he laments how...

Our latest podcast focuses on the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 13th and the 17th March. This week, Sarah's in for a shock when Nathan turns up for dinner looking a tad older than expected. Good job she noticed really, considering nobody's twigged that Nick's also been looking about ten years older than he should be for years! Speaking of Nick, he's had another rubbish...

Our latest podcast covers the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast between the 20th and the 24th February. The Victoria Court lift may be stuck in its tracks, but the Leanne story moved at quite a lick this week, didn't it? Lift births, ash scattering, new baby plans from Michelle and... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the big plot development of the week, but can we just say again how much we...

On our Valentine's week podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 13th and the 17th February. The sex ring storyline gets even darker this week, as the creepy Nathan succeeds in luring Bethany into bed. We're both gripped by this story, but is Corrie going too far? From sex to drugs, and Rosie spills the beans to Adam about the buried biscuit tin - can he...

This weekend's episode of Conversation Street covers all things Corrie between the 6th and the 10th February in the UK. Love her or hate her, you can't deny that this week belonged to Rosie Webster, the vegetarian goth turned glamour model turned reality TV star, who made her big return to the cobbles this week. Although we both agreed Ms. Webster was a little OTT on Monday's episodes, we thought...

Meanwhile, Michelle continues to mourne the loss of her baby (that's...

Our latest podcast covers the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 9th and the 13th January. This week's shows certainly got people talking, didn't they?

We t...

The first podcast of 2017 has us discussing the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 30th December and 6th January.

In this week's episode of the podcast, we chat about the episodes shown in the UK between the 23rd and the 26th December. Christmas Day has arrived in Weatherfield, so let's cross off the usual tropes: Festive punch up? Check! Family secrets revealed? Check! Present mix-up? Character behind bars? Obnoxious incidental music? Check, check and check! Corrie certainly didn't go out of its way to do an...
