Deirdre and her sticky drawers

For those of us enjoying Ken and Deirdre's bedtime stories on the official ITV Coronation Street website, episode two is now online. I like these little video extras although I'm not normally a fan of watching anything online. But they're well written, good fun and best of all for this Corrie fan, only three mintues long. Anyone else enjoying them a lot?

Watch Episode 2 here.

There's a definite element of the 'Royle Family' about the way they come across and completely hilarious :-)

The only thing is, my mother, who doesn't have internet access, would love this, so if they could 'red button' it, she and many others, would be able to enjoy these webisodes like those of us online are :-)

However, I'm having to find 'alternate means' so she can enjoy them... :-p; 22 February 2011 at 16:48

Seems a lot of Facebook fans think it was 'boring', is this indicative of the way Corrie has gone? That they are so used to quick and short scenes with heavy drama they now find this alien? It seems to be what Betty Driver lamented the lack of nowadays, scenes with characters just talking to each other about nothing.; 22 February 2011 at 16:56

Anonymous said...: I love these - very old style Corrie! I saw a scene from 1988 recently in which Alf Roberts was moaning to Sally Webster about customers buying things for about 99p at the Corner Shop and then paying with £10 notes. It had the same kind of wit and everydayness as Ken and Deirdre's Bedtime Stories!; 23 February 2011 at 17:14
