Corrie Comicals week ending 15 January 2021


There is good reason for that statement and you need to check their birth certificates.  They will be 15!  Nothing new as they celebrated their tenth birthday a year early as well.  I assume that once the mistake was made then it has been impossible to put right and of course a lot of Asha's recent story arc would not work if she was approaching 15.


I almost feel sorry for John Kerr at this point as he writes an innocent line intended to cheer up Faye, who is looking a bit peaky, with Sally suggesting a walk and a pub lunch, whilst causing outright spasms of fury across the nation (except the Scilly Isles in their elevated tier 1).  My feeling sorry lasts for about 2 seconds before the anger kicked in!  I am not worried about the walk BUT I do want to eat something out and my good lady wife does not want to have to cook it.  However we are marooned in tier 4 and the best we might manage is to eat a takeaway in a different room to normal for the change of scenery.  We had a pizza the other night and thought Marmite dough balls sounded a good idea.  Definitely will not be ordering them again.


Terry Humphries is 80 and is in the workshop making a model of Turf Moor from matchsticks.  Turf Moor has been the home of Burnley FC since 1883 and their great rivals are Bolton Wanderers of whom Terry is a huge fan.  He is only making the model so that he can smash it to bits once complete.  Around here I have been notified by my club that as they cannot see spectators being admitted this season I can have the rest of my season ticket money back!


At this point I could not believe my ears.  It deserved a Ken style "WWHHAATT".  It is beyond my mental boundaries for Ken to even know what brunch is and to suggest it as a suitable meal for Peter.  This is so far from consuming dinner in the middle of the day as to destroy the entire time-space continuum.  The closest terminology I can think he means is an "all day, all you can eat, breakfast" but "brunch"?  Southern softie.  Brunch came up again on Friday too!  Just what is going on?


Daydream Daisy, you know her - Jenny's so close step-daughter from her marriage that she was mentioned every day since Jenny returned to the Street - and turned up to find that Johnny and Jenny had a very poisonous relationship because he wanted a divorce - has split from the one and only who had promised her the earth for the last 12 months and has now decided to move back in with the ex.  Daisy's greatest complaint is that she failed to extract any expensive jewellery which could be flogged (above).  It took her a year not to get anything valuable - her skills at getting good presents must be pretty poor!


Asha has just told Dev and Aadi that she has split from Corey.  Aadi rightly calls him a scumbag but Dev is the all caring father prepared to listen.  Then as Asha turns her back and goes into the kitchen the two men start a Bollywood dance off!  And this is after Asha tells Aadi that he looks like a second hand car salesman - which she meant in a derogatory sense but pleases Aasi, the trainee manager greatly!


And this week there is a slight absurdity that Roy, mask removed, seeks to prevent Ray Crosby entering Roys' Rolls on the basis that he is not wearing a mask.  I know that no-one could predict the rules when this was written and filmed - but a request for Ray to wear a mask strikes no more fear in the man than a judicial review.  So what will bring him down - thugs?  Gary?  Rape (which she denies) of Faye? Or the judicial review when the head of the planning committee sings like a canary?  Or will Debbie finally turn and bring him down?  Send your votes in and let us see who gets the right prediction!


Written by: John Kerr & Simon Crowther (Monday); Nessah Muthy and Ian Kershaw (Wednesday);  David Isaac (Friday)
Directed by: Tim O'Mara (Monday & Wednesday); Leon Lopez (Friday)

Nessah Muthy is a new writer on the team and I am not sure that Leon Lopez has been credited as director before - so welcome to both.

I watch in Canada so these articles are effectively a cheat for me, as is the itv Twitter feef, but that confession aside I do greatly enjoy reading them! Luckily I also find that there's enough unsaid I still find the show less than totally predictable. Thanks!
