William Roache rules out a live 50th episode

William Roache has ruled out another live episode for Coronation Street. William, who plays Corrie's Ken Barlow, said that the soap would not do a live episode to celebrate its 50th anniversary in December, as EastEnders did for its 25th anniversary in February this year.

He said: "We're not going to do a live episode, we did that in the Millennium year, we don't want to do that again."

Personally, I see no reason why Corrie should do a live episode for their 50th, but what do you think?
