Don't You Just Love It .

Warning ! we are showing a Programme now, that some viewers might find upsetting.
...... It's called Coronation Street.

[DTCwordfan]

It's ITV's crowning glory.

[smurfchops]

Pathetic. For snowflakes. And in Police programmes, “this may be upsetting”. Well don’t watch it then!!

[Arksided]

I don't watch soaps any more Jack and Vera... my era really but did like The Bill... a soap?

Once upon a time one of my brothers claimed not to be a corrie fan whist upstairs on pc playing games.. we reminded him corrie has started its 7:.30.

Bro: I'm not a Corrie fan.
Shout from downstair Aunt: Richard Corrie has started.

It's covering themselves in case a law suit comes in - Grandad saw a flash of ankle and had a heart attack.

A blanket warning exonerated them in advance.

It's less about how oversensitive society has become, more about how litigious it is now.

[gulliver1]

Always thought, only Biddies watched Coronation Street .
Maybe I have got it wrong then.

It is blerdy annoying but it is in response to the many, many complaints that get about all sorts of tv programmes and films.

Same as the warning on packaging, the companies don't want to put them on but the sheer amount of people willing to sue gives them no choice.
Buy a bottle bleach - label says Warning: Contains Bleach.

The programmes popularity with Baby Boomers (b.1946-1964) is 33%.

With Generation X (b.1965-1980) it's 32%.

It's most popular with Millenials (b.1981-1996), at 40%.

I think Coronation Street with Ab, is a little like posts from Myself ,Hymie ,and PP. No one ever reads their posts or watches Coronation Street . But they know every word that has been spoken....Ha ha,

[gulliver1]

Coronation street should only be issued on prescription from a GP, when there is no hope left. With a health warning .
....."Only to be viewed in small doses".....

Either bobbisox isnt here or isn't rising to the bait of your old biddies comment. Epic fail.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m here Bobb, it’s not exactly panning out the way Gulliver hoped it would is it ;0)

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, most soaps are going to upset the viewer because they'd hoped for better entertainment.

[gulliver1]

BIW 18.59 Don,t know if you are looking to hijack this post but I can assure you I have always treated Bobbisox with the greatest respect. Like she does me. I have known her on AB for many years . Under various aliases.

[barry1010]

I am an unashamed Corrie fan, so are my children and grandchildren

[Bobbisox1]

Give it a rest Gulliver but I’ll repeat this to you , I’ve been on AB since 2009 , I was known as J…. then, I left in 2011 after being harassed (ask Sparklykid ) rejoined as Bobbisox but you know that anyway , left again , same people who harassed me ,that was for nearly 10 years till my daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer 9 years come February, I was so desperate for someone to talk to ,strangers that I could unload my fear to so I joined as Mandisma,you know that too,don’t you? Finally I rejoined as Bobbisox1 , went UI a few times because of one particular poster , not you .
You’ve no respect for me and why should you? we’re all strangers anyway , I hope this puts this to bed that I’ve had many aliases ,I haven’t but quite frankly, I cloud give a shiny sh-ite what you or anyone else thinks that I have :0)

[Bobbisox1]

* typo, couldn’t not cloud

If you or someone you know have been affected by any of the issues raised on this forum remember it's a two-way street, not your private playground.

[barry1010]

Gully, where was you between 2016 and 2022? You seem to have undergone a transformation during your long absence

[smurfchops]

Corrie, East Enders, Emmerdale, all rubbish, all depressing, they all merge into one. When I am flipping channels, I watch them for a split second, all doom and gloom, then I switch over.
