Thank god! The current set was good, but the area around it has become over developed, meaning cameras have to be careful what they show
Yeah it's about time.
Channel 4's Shameless has a special production facility with a dedicated studio/office building and outdoor backlot. Loads of space and everyone who works on the show in one place.
It'll do Corrie a world of good to get away from the old Quay Street building, and have more space and privacy to make the show together.
The rumour is that Granada/ITV have been in talks with the Museum of Science and Industry (which backs onto the site), with a view to handing the set over to them as an attraction.
That sounds great, Merseytart!
ITV should, as a gesture to the nstion, and their history, donate the set to the Museum.
It might cost them money, but if that set cannot be bought and gets demolished, I don't think the nation will ever forgive them.
