Coronation Street: September 2010

Gail's wardrobe has never been anything to write home about - the clothes in the wardrobe not the furniture that is, if you want to be pedantic - but just lately a certain style has been creeping in that is even more unflattering than usual. She's not just taking to wearing blazers supported by hideous buttoned to the chin blouses, but said blazers also have a contrasting colour for the piping for added Y Factor. She might be wearing these to remind her of the days she didn't go to Eton, or from when she wasn't an airline pilot, a magician or a holiday camp entertainer. It's more likely, though, that the wardrobe department have got it in for her so watch out for the flippers, goggles and deely boppers in next weeks' shows.
