Tonight's double bill of Coronation Street had me in two minds when it started. The first episode was too much like t'other soap, you know, that London one with the shouty people. I really wasn't enjoying it, especially not the cat-fight between Becky and sister Kylie... not until Becky landed a punch on David's face by mistake. And with that one fell swoop, we're back in traditional Corrie land and I was laughing along, it hooked me back in.
Then Becky rampaged to the Rovers, bloodied and beaten but still up for the challenge of taking down her mother-in-law. "You think you're Queen of the Rovers!" she yelled at Liz. "But you're just a tart with a bus pass." It's lines like that which go down in Corrie history. Packing up Liz's frills and frou-frou frocks then dumping them in a dirty puddle was a work of genius too.
And Simon Gregson, as Steve McDonald, was wonderful to watch. Anyone else think tonight was a Corrie corker?
