Coronation Street: 7 December 2008

Fanfares of trumpets could be heard across the land with the return, for now, of Coronation Street on a Sunday night. The demise of the black-haired gang is well under way which gives us more cause to celebrate and if only somebody, or just anybody, would believe Maria about her suspicions of Tony then the world would be a happier place. All the main characters seem to have been designated the roles of implying she is imbalanced, because of her recent bereavement and pregnancy, but the script is getting a little predictable because everyone she talks to says something along the lines of 'you're imagining things because your hormones are all over the place - go home and have a lie down'. Yawn yawn - where's Audrey when you need her?
