This week on the podcast, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 19th and the 23rd August. There were absolutely loads of storylines mixed into this week’s episodes, including the end of the racism story, the continuation of Karl’s desperation to cover up his involvement in the Rovers fire, and the start of a new dawn for Chesney and Katy. For us, though, it was Sally’s garden party preparations (who knew you could do fish fingers, chips and beans on the barbecue?) and Brian’s musings about hitting the big 5-0 that were the highlights of the week. The real drama, of course, happened off-screen this week, and we spend a chunk of time discussing our own and listeners’ opinions about Chris Fountain’s sacking. We were both pleased to see Bruce Jones and Vicky Entwhistle show up on Celebrity Big Brother on Thursday, so we decided to make our character profile all about Les Battersby.
