On Episode 90 of the podcast, we take a trip up to Manchester to go on Coronation Street The Tour. During our visit, we recorded an audio diary of our experiences for you to enjoy, from our hunt for various filming locations, through our slap up meal at Annies (the restaurant owned by Jennie McAlpine), to the tour of the old set itself. The episode features interviews with Corrie expert and co-owner of Daisy Nook Garden Centre Mark Llewellin, the charming and knowledgeable driver from Manchester Taxi Tours John Consterdine, and the lovely Rachel, a tour guide from the Coronation Street set tour. What are the security measures put in place outside the filming location for Phelan’s mansion? Which Corrie character was nearly impregnated by a Hungarian violin player? And just how fragrantly scented is Jennie McAlpine in real life?  Find out the answers to these questions and more on Episode 90 of Conversation Street!
