Corrie Comicals week ending 3 July 2020


Following on from only old people using landlines that Amy brought us last week Simon who is valiantly trying to help his mother and Nick by doing some cooking is struggling with the concept of ounces.  12 ounces is 340 grams if that helps!


Fiz has been telling Ty that they are turning into Vera and Jack - she tells him to put a jumper on or she will have to chase him with a newspaper.  Ty denies and then - in a pretty good impression puts on Jack's voice (above).  At least Jack and Vera were married, none of this living over the brush thing!


Since the door was replaced after the fire I have been waiting for the half door to be used and although this may not be the first use it shows the new stable door.  Chesney obviously thought he had managed to escape but no doubt Gemma chased after him.  To be honest does anyone really have a front door like that these days?


The need for physical distances and "bubbles" had not arrived in Weatherfield when this was filmed and I could almost sense the writer wincing as Imran said this particular line.  Of course if he has not been in a bubble with his partner for the last 14 weeks where has he been?


With the tentacles of the Oliver story being widespread this evening we return to Gemma with her happy head on and a small glass of wine.  Some friends of ours had a "trick" glass.  They handed me a bottle and told me to pour myself a glass.  Well I stopped after pouring quite a bit but my hosts insisted I continue.  Eventually I had a glass that was not full and yet contained an entire bottle - and the glass did not look that big.  I am sure Gemma would have done the same if she could!


We are a little short of National Treasures having recently lost Vera Lynn and at this difficult time it was inevitable that Arthur could not give Evelyn the peck on the cheek that she was clearly expecting as he departed - potentially infecting a NT is not allowed and Arthur had clearly got the memo about the need for people over 70 to be careful.  She is disappointed and just ever so slightly annoyed at his railway addiction and lengthy discussions with Roy (they might have been on Wednesday but it was all the same day in Weatherfield).  Beware Evelyn perhaps the old flame is not a match made in heaven (see what I did there!).

Which wraps it up for this week.  Next week I won't be here.  I will be on HOLIDAY!!  I will be eating in a restaurant with people cooking and serving and so on!!  I am being allowed out for a week!!  And seeing and doing things!  And as Phil Esterhaus used to say - "Let's be careful out there".
