Last night's Coronation Street ended with a credit to the memory of Mike Curtis. Mike Curtis was a props man who had worked on Corrie for a decade, and who sadly died this week.

RIP Mike Curtis and condolences to his friends and family. I looked up this guy and he was only 32. That means he was 22 when he started at Corrie. I've been thinking about how we all depend on Coronation Street as an escape from our own lives, while the people who make it - from producers to writers to actors to crew - have no similar escape from the pressures of making it come together each week. (It must be terrible to try to unwind watching your own work.) I wish, as a gesture of respect to these people, we could have a week without grousing on this site, and imagine what it would be like to be them, bearing the heavy responsibility for actual choices and outcomes, facilitating *our* pleasure.
