More Corrie fame

That was fun... I just recorded via the telephone, an interview with a woman from Radio Kerry in Ireland. All about Coronation Street, naturally! In the aftermath of the death of Betty Driver, one of the Corrie legends, there's been a lot of media coverage about the show in general. One article talks about Corrie being much different than it used to be and calls it mean spirited now. However the article doesn't really tell you how it's mean spirited, just that it's different and doesn't have the same values it did in the early days. Well, neither does society in general. Most of his article is about Betty and her character and all he really does is point out that Corrie doesn't have many characters like her anymore and he even gets a few facts wrong. Hard to make a point if you don't get it right. And he mentions that barmaids these days have short skirts and plunging necklines but there's been a few of them on Corrie way back in the late 60s, even.

Anyway, it was fun. She taped it so it didn't go out live and will send me the link when it does.
