Was watching this a few years ago, just catching the odd bit. I noticed that a famous person got name-checked in every episode, whether it was Elvis, Ryan Giggs or whoever. There is definitely some sort of formula to the script. I think it was quite watchable for the first 15-20 decades, with a believable pretense that it was about ornery Northern folk, etc., but now it's utter boak.

Having missed about three years' worth, I caught only 2 minutes last night, in a hair salon, and hey ho : Vivien Leigh, Ralph Richardson and Marilyn Monroe all name-checked...do you think the scriptwriters have some sort of private pool going on? I mean, Ralph Richardson, fur fuxache...!

"Bet you can't name-check Brian Rix..."

"OK - £20 says I can..."

"£50 says you can't name-check Ralph Richardson and Marilyn Monroe in the same scene..."

Theatrical types takin' the p1ss IMO...

Victoria Wood did a terrific parody of Coronation Street a few years back. You'll need to know the early characters and plot lines to appreciate how brilliant it is.

Kate Ford the actress who plays her is a wonderful, caring person.

I agree Capt F

Since Tracy B started sexing things up in her black stockinged legs I've been watching regularly. Even Liz M will have to up her game at this rate. No wonder Tony had dabbled away from home.

Is Liz M the one that looks like three week old cheap mince left out in a heatwave?

How very dare you. Cap'n F and I have fought duels over her.

One day my dream is to set up a little house in Cannibal Farm, Liverpool with Tracy Barlow and Janine from 'Deadenders'. That pair can then dominate me all day and invite girlfriends such as Liz M and Sir Rocco F's niece around for tea.

It's set in Mancland. The mussy's have 12 built in wardrobes to every terraceed house..

Cannibal Farm has been called Stockbridge Village for some considerable time, Alun.. Tis still a dump btw. They should have amalgamated it with it's neighbour Knowsley Safari Park. I would however fear for the safety of the latters inhabitants..

LOL, that's great news Guinness. Sadly I am once again behind the times. Great to see the Non-Gentrification of Cannibal Farm has reached such dizzying heights !
