Classic Coronation Street

Apprantly he was not the easiest person to work with. Bill Podmore devoted an entire chapter to him, in his memoir entitled Coronation Street the inside story. It is a really good read.

Slightly off topic, but Michael Crawford gives me the absolute creeps

He is certainly a bit of an oddball as his character Frank Spencer. I really dislike Some Mothers do ave em', too much like Mr Bean - which was possibley inspired by the former. Slapstick does nothing for me.

The term 'Tardis' could quite easily be applied to Underworld in today's Corrie.

Here we see, in 1999, a fairly small knicker factory with barely enough room to swing a cat.

By 2021, it has somehow (at least) quadrupled in size and gained an upper level.

Although the outside has remained exactly the same.

Was there ever any explanation on screen for this change?

Didn’t the factory get done up after Carla’s husband burnt it down?Tony I think.It’s been pretty huge ever since.Doubled in size when they moved out of Yasmeens community centre too.

I was liking Natalie after getting with Des but she’s still the same old floozy

Look who arrives towards the end of 1999.

Andy Whyment appears in October 1999 as a youth purchasing fireworks. A year before he became Birk Sunderland.

Steve and Kev both gain beards by the end of the year.

Dev’s arrival, now that’s something to look forward to! It’ll be like having Anthony Hopkins in our midst

Les thinks he is Ziggy Stardust.

More like Piggy Nolust.

A bit of trivia.

That scene of Les and Jack driving in the stolen vehicle was filmed a very short distance from where the 'new' Corrie set is.

Some 14 years prior to when the studios and outdoor set moved to that location.

When Rita confronted Natalie in the back of the Rovers, the episode ended abruptly after Rita said ‘by ‘eck lady…’, I felt there was more to come….
