Coronation Street goes out live tonight at 8:00 on ITV1 and there will be millions watching. The Manchester Evening News has a short interview with producer Phil Collinson.
He speaks about the increased security around the studio tonight to make sure nobody tries to sabotage the episode (but those reports of preventing terrorist attacks are pretty silly!). They've also pre-recorded one of the dress rehearsals as a backup in case anything untoward happens but he thinks everything will go to plan.
We'll see the deaths of two characters tonight and the busiest actor on the ground will be Graeme Hawley who will be zipping from set to set. It'll be a challenge but I'm sure he'll be up to it. This is likely where he'll be dealing with both Fiz in hospital and the body in his house! Antony Cotton has the first line of the episode and ... away we go!
