I don't have britbox though, don't even have a way to stream it through my TV as it isn't on Virgin or Roku, and I'm not watching things through a computer or phone screen.

Unlucky, I have a Roku stick for my second TV and I was a bit gutted that BritBox wasn’t on there. But regardless of that I’ve been pleased to see some different older episodes on ITV3 this week.

Just watching the 1980 episodes, looks like the first episode was the original, but the second was a Granada Plus edit. These G+ edits are going to keep cropping up, aren't they?

Funnily enough we've never had any G+ edits of Emmerdale on ITV3...

Should we set up a Yuletide fundraiser for a long HDMI cable?

Can you not Chromecast or ScreenShare the BritBox app to the Roku or Virgin set top box?

What looks like a VidFired Episode 1 of Corrie has appeared on Youtube.


That has been done exceptionally well! You could almost believe someone had discovered a videotape of the first episode.

Who’s to say I didn’t? Seriously, thanks though. I’d have liked to have put the original Granada captions back on and cut some dodgy mixes, but it was done quickly and couldn’t edit 50fps in iMovie.

What did you use for the framerate conversion? It's very good.

1. How can I Chromecast to something which isn't a Chromecast?

2. I've tried screensharing content to Roku before, from the laptop it's horribly jerky with dropouts (so the laptop clearly isn't up to it), and I can't get it to work from my desktop at all, even after re-installing everything from scratch, so presumably it doesn't support it.

ITV has announced that Argos is to become the new headline sponsor of Coronation Street from the beginning of 2021.

It will be interesting to see what the Argos sponsorship idents will be like from a creative perspective.

What do people think of the new announced sponsor?

Off topic - Used a suite called Film9, a frontend for multiple Avisynth filters to stabilise the film, remove film noise, dirt and scratches, adjust colour, and interpolate the frames.

Gigantic cue dots going into the breaks.

Interesting who wasn’t in this live episode - no Gail, Sally, Kevin

Peter’s first appearance, Dev looks so young, David’s about 2 feet tall but still cheeky


No Betty, Fred or Alma either. And I dont think Betty and Gail appeared in the 2010 live episode.

I cant believe how young Dev and Peter both looked.
