Well done to Corrie’s wardrobe department for the absolutely perfect styling of Daniel Osbourne in Wednesday’s episodes.
Daniel was wearing a Belle and Sebastian “Fox in the Snow” T-shirt. If there were ever anyone in Coronation Street I would have bet on being a Belle and Sebastian fan, it’s Daniel.
The Scottish indie pop troubadours are known for their lovely, literary songs and appeal to bookish types such as Daniel. I can well imagine them soundtracking his English literature degree and I hope they brought some comfort during those lonely teenage years when Denise and Ken had abandoned him.
I love Belle and Seb and “The Fox in the Snow” is on their excellent second album, “If you’re feeling sinister”. I’ve always had a particular soft spot for this song. It’s worth checking out below if you’re not familiar with it and the accompanying video by YouTuber Nathan Blair is pretty cute:
The T-shirt can be found here. I might have to copy Daniel and put an order in!
I do hope that Belle and Sebastian will feature in Daniel and Sinead's wedding and that the two of them will enjoy a bright future together. Sinead can set up her vintage clothing store and sell her handcrafted soaps and Daniel can help out while following his dreams of becoming a writer.
I can see them now skipping through meadows and singing Belle and Sebastian songs to each other, defying the laws of soap to live happily ever after. Come on scriptwriters - give us a break from scenes some viewers may find upsetting and let's have something to smile about! The end.
