Conversation Street Podcast Episode #521


On our latest podcast, we have a jolly good old chinwag about what went on on the cobbles between the 2nd and the 6th May 2022 (Episodes #10628 - 10633).

Our monkey's paw wish really did come true this week, as podcast favourites Toyah and Imran get spliced. As the week ended and baby Alfie came home to live with them, it seems like everything's going great for Mr and Mrs Battersbeeb (we refuse to call them anything else!), but with Toyah still blissfully ignorant of the lengths Imran went to in order to secure custody of his son, it's only a matter of time before things hit the fan big time... Also this week, Aggie has a bit of a thorny situation to contend with at her new job, Stu gets into a spot of bother when out getting supplies for Yasmeen's Eid stall, and Kirk and George compete for who can make the loudest, most irritating noise on the street!

In the Kabin, we ponder what the new pricing options for the Corrie set tour could mean for the upcoming expansion of the experience, and after reading out some listeners' thoughts on the brilliantly prickly Mr Thorne, we finish off the podcast with a discussion of some spoilery cast news that came out a few days ago in Kabin Extra.

As another happy couple tie the knot on Corrie this week, we thought it was about time we dedicated an entire episode to chatting about the weddings of Weatherfield past. That turned out to be quite a big job, though, so we've ended up splitting the topic over two weeks! In this part, we take a look at some wedding related stats for Weatherfield, and comparing them to some numbers we've found for the real world. Which characters have been up the aisle the greatest number of times? Which months are most popular for Corrie characters to get spliced - and when's most common for weddings to get called off partway through? What have been the most commonly used venues for weddings in recent years, and how far back do we have to go to find one that actually took place in a church and went without a hitch, so to speak? We take a look at all this and more, so get your biggest hat on, pour yourself a glass of bubbly, and enjoy the first part of our discussion on the weddings of Weatherfield!
