i'm a fucking Corrie junkie. If I miss episodes during the week then I have to catch up on Saturdays with the omnibus edition. the funny part is that every soap in Britain is pretty much a carbon copy of Corrie, which has been running for over 40 years: half the show is shot in the local pub, nearly all the characters are poor, many of them are overweight and/or ugly, and few of them have ambitions beyond pissing off their ex-partners. these shows stand in stark contrast to the contrived plot lines and hollywood glam of north american soaps.. love it.
