Corrie gets it spot on with Armistead Maupin and Blanche

An email just in from Coronation Street fan John describes himself as "a Corrie fan by both nature and nurture". What a lovely phrase - and it applies to many of us, I'm sure.

Anyway, John emailed to let the blog know that he was prompted by Blanche's incomparable line about Ken's reading matter this week this week: "...that fella in Chapter 13's certainly supple". John took down from the shelf Armistead Maupin's bright yellow covered Michael Tolliver Lives and re-read Chapter 13.

John says: "You have to admire the accuracy of the queenly writing team at Granada and the props department, because, sure enough, it's the chapter with the threesome... Brilliant! And it wasn't even Jonathan Harvey, of whom such pith might be expected." John also went on to end his email with a very funny line but it was too rude to blog so all I can say is use your imagination and chuckle to yourself.
