You'd think ITV the production company would want to engage fans wherever Corrie airs, even if ITV the network had to restrict things like ITV Player that are paid for by UK taxes or whatever.

Here in Aus Corrie is on a Foxtel (like Sky) channel, UKTV, which weirdly is a BBC channel (they show quite a lot of other ITV stuff too) and I would think they pay a lot for the exclusive rights. There is a free-to-air channel which shows old episodes but I was flicking through the other day and Frankie Baldwin was on,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-27220004126073065762013-11-28T21:50:38.824+00:002013-11-28T21:50:38.824+00:00Although I'm happy that the character profiles...Although I'm happy that the character profiles have been finally updated with new pics, I'm disappointed with the videos. I would've liked to have more of a montage of the characters' best bits, instead of just the first appearance.Llifonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861629511369520726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-65845235777659884642013-11-28T20:54:19.661+00:002013-11-28T20:54:19.661+00:00I am so sick of all the bells and whistles web sit...I am so sick of all the bells and whistles web sites use today. It makes it almost like those old days of slow dial-up.

I tried putting a British Postcode in the box before looking at a video but the video stayed black so that didn't work as per usual.
