So when Emmerdale is on before Corrie and that is 22 minutes long, that makes for 17 minutes in the 7pm to 8pm timeslot. They probably get away with it as they also advertise their own tv shows which more than likely doesn't count as advertising.

Not an advert in sight
That was a really great race, even with the ads

Hey - all this talk of Corrie. I don't think I've ever watched Corrie.

I do have a childhood memory of my grandmother having it on the box...and seeing some opening credits...some streets and the roofs of houses... and a ginger cat...the scene then flicked to some old dears complaining about something....

that is my sum total of knowledge on the enigma that is 'Corrie'..

That's pretty much what it is from what I've heard - pasty northerners having a whinge. Quite reflective of life in the grim north.

You can take the pasty northerner out of the north but not the north out of the pasty northerner

I have watched Coronation Street since I was 5 years old, never ever missed an episode. I wasn't about to start just because I moved to the arse end of nowhere

Have you tried Stuffed Crust TV ?
I was just told about it by James and I can watch it on a pretty poor connection without a proxy on my iPad. Last night I watched Saturday night TV!
