Is it me or does Corrie seem to be prefixed by a "scenes some viewers may find upsetting" almost every episode now?

Viewers aren't allowed to have emotions now.

And of course almost every episode concludes with an ‘If you have been affected by the issues raised...’ announcement, including recently, the sepsis storyline.

Personally if I was concerned that I, or a member of my family, had a potentially fatal condition requiring urgent medical attention, I don’t think I’d bother with the ITV website advice page.

Still getting the old blue Granada endcap on most episodes even though we're now in late October, nearly 2 months after the generic look came in. I'm starting to wonder if ITV3 are themselves placing it on the episodes to cover up the old ITV logo.

I wonder if they are linking the endcap to the production date rather than the first broadcast date. These episodes will have been produced before the new endcaps came into use.


ITV3 don't normally have an issue using old-style endcaps. The 'ITV Productions' endcap with the old (Lambie Nairn) logo is often seen after dramas.

Is it possible Granada had different versions for broadcast on ITV and for episodes for resale (both international and hence, in the future when onsold as archive programming).

I'm not sure if Corrie were filming that far ahead were they? Today's episodes were from the 20th and 23rd October and the generic look came in on the 1st September- that's 7 weeks. Then again I guess it's possible they might have been filming further ahead than normal to help prepare for the going to 3 times a week.

I assume tonight's was down to Johnny raising a fist to Jenny, which, yes, could be upsetting to some viewers. But with the warning being so vague, and with it being used so much these days, how is it really going to help? If they felt it was worthy of a warning at all, which is debatable, they should have said "scenes of domestic violence."

The Maconald's made their first appearance on the second itv3 episode this afternoon.

Working it out, we'll be seeing Alan dive head first into a tram on the 30th, and we'll enter 1990 on the 6th August. The same day EastEnders starts on Drama.

Was around to watch Classic Corrie today - the copyright notice is on the end of the credits rather than the endcap so surely if they wanted to they'd just cut off the endcap rather than going to the trouble of editing in a different one.
