Maybe it's me knocking on a bit, but I'm hankering after the old days of Coronation Street. The days when there was quality dialogue and interesting characters you could relate to and actually like.
I'm looking at the latest episodes and thinking: "Do I really want to watch this any more?" And the answer is: "No I don't - not if it continues like this."
I don't want to watch youngsters snogging up the ginnel and prancing about in towels drinking cans. Don't get me wrong - I like a lot of the younger characters, such as Rosie and Sophie Webster. But there needs to be some balance. Corrie really needs an Ena Sharples to counteract the younger element.
It surprises me when TV shows seem to gear themselves towards a younger demographic. After all, there are more old people in this country than there are young. And an awful lot of old people watch the telly!

I'm also not keen on the way Corrie looks now. I don't have any knowledge of how TV works, direction, camera angles or whatever. I've no insider Corrie knowledge either. I'm just an ordinary fan and I know what I like and don't like. And I don't like it when I watch Corrie and have the horrible feeling that I might as well be watching any other soap.
