Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-90-tim-jonesPodcast episode #90 is the first of our Manchester special and features the charming and uber-talented Tim Jones. Tim has an incredible track record when it comes to OOH, both from his time at BBC Creative and more recently at Meanwhile, the agency he set up with long term creative partner James Cross and Al Marchant.Meanwhile have enjoyed great success since launch in 2022, thanks not just to their creative work, but savvy association with Bez of the Happy Mondays, himself an icon of the North West. It's no surprise Meanwhile were Campaign's Start Up Agency of 2023.We discussed Tim's extensive OOH portfolio, including the 7m tapestry for the BBC World Cup in Russia which formed the centre pice of the History Will Be Made campaign and was meant to have an additional segment, allowing for the next bit of history. Tim told us how he was prepping the new piece to incorporate Harry Kane lifting the trophy. Oh Lord. How many years of hurt?! Too much. Anyway, it wasn't meant to be, but a brilliant story about what goes on behind the tapestry.Then there was the Netflix Diamond Heist and how Meanwhile placed a 9-carat diamond onto the side of a billboard.Next Travel Supermarket with a vertical stack of inflatables in a shopping trolley on the side of a building. How will they stay up? What happens if a member of the public throws darts at them? And a million and one other daft questions that have to be answered in order to get creative work to run.On and on the stories went, the Manchester tram that toots the theme tune of Coronation Street, the BAFTA winning work for BBC Tokyo Olympics, the award-winning launch work for Chester Zoo, the iconic Park Run work for Mental health Day.Thank you Tim. It was a total pleasure. We can't wait to see what you and Meanwhile do next.

Jill Halfpenny has been an actor since the age of 10, first coming to our screens in Byker Grove in 1989, and most recently appearing in the Channel 5 drama The Feud. She has also appeared in Coronation Street, Eastenders, numerous TV dramas, on the West End stage and in Strictly Come Dancing.We shared our thoughts on dealing with downtime as performers, which has its challenges even in a busy career.Jill has a son Harvey who is nearly 17, and they clearly have a close relationship, based on honesty and openness, including during difficult times such as when her partner Matt died suddenly 8 years ago, in circumtances similar to how she lost her Dad aged 4. Sadly they both had unexpected heart attacks. Jill has recently written a beautiful memoir 'A Life Reimagined', which touches on both these deaths.Finally, I tried out Jill's Agony Aunt skills as she has a podcast 'Dear Jill' where she answers listeners' questions, from her Newcastle studio. I can now tell you that I am either on the right tracks as a mum or Jill was being extremely kind to me!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the last week and a bit of Coronation Street, covering the 16th to the 23rd May (Episodes #11,571 - 11,578) It actually worked out quite well that we didn't get to watch Corrie's big flashback episode until this week – sharing our thoughts on it now makes for a nice lead-in to everything that's happening in the present day. We ended up having some pretty different takes on the episodes too – from whether the flashbacks were even necessary to how Craig's death was handled. But one thing we did agree on – and sorry if this sounds like a bit of a cliché – is that this felt like one of the furthest departures from ‘proper Corrie' we've ever seen, with its intense focus on police action and a main cast made up mostly of relatively new characters. There's a lot to unpack this week, and we hope you enjoy the discussion (even if some of it does veer into a bit of a whinge!). Up next on the podcast it's the news segment, where we check out who from Corrie has found themselves on the longest for the annual National Television Awards, and we round off the show with some more listener feedback.

This week, ITV officially announced a special, hour-long crossover between Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and we just couldn't wait to talk about it! We take a look at what's been teased so far about the episode and share our hopes and fears about how it will turn out.
In this week's bonus episode, we pay tribute to Coronation Street legend Dennis Tanner, following the sad news of actor Philip Lowrie's recent passing. We look back at Lowrie's remarkable life and career, and reflect on the character he so memorably brought to life as part of Corrie's original line-up in Episode 1. From his beginnings as the Street's original bad boy to his record-breaking return after 43 years away, we revisit Dennis's most iconic moments and discuss how he became one of our all-time favourite characters.

Guest post by Gary Beckwith, author of How to Make A Million in Business I never saw my dad. When I was eight years old, he left the family home. He never called, never visited; he just checked out of the whole 'being a parent thing'. As I grew older, though, I was determined to have some sort of relationship with him, anything. So I kept showing up at his workplace on the River Thames, where he was an engineer on the tugs and barges. The longer I spent there, the more we had to talk about, and by the time I was 16, we were not only much closer, we were colleagues. Running a Family Business, How to Make A Million I guess that's why I have such a complex view of the 'work family balance'. For me, business has always been about family. Long before I ever ran one myself. Besides, what's the alternative? I've seen wonderful, committed couples become like passing ships in the night as their jobs dictated their schedules, locations, and, often, what they did in their spare time. I've witnessed wonderful people become parents who work so hard for their kids that they never actually see them. When I started my first business, I was always conscious of not following in my father's footsteps, but if I was ever going to succeed, I knew I'd need to work every hour I could. There was only one answer: bring the family on the journey with me. When I first met my wife, Rita, she worked in publishing and loved it. Meanwhile, I was run off my feet operating a fuel barge, and desperate for an extra pair of hands. The paperwork alone was burying me, and my dyslexia didn't help. At the end of each week, I'd grab all the papers, dump them in a shopping basket, and take them home to Rita. Slowly but surely, I wore her down, and she gave up the job she loved to come and work on a barge that had no toilets and not enough customers. I guess she saw it even then. The relationship or the business: it was all in or all out. We have two children together, Matthew and Lucy, and both have experienced the positives and negatives that come with a lifetime in the family business. Every meal time becomes a boardroom meeting. You get to a stage where all you talk about is business. Who phoned in sick today? What are we going to do about this new legislation? How's the new boat coming along? A company becomes your own little Coronation Street; you get so tangled up in the stories of people's lives. They need to transcend the family name. If you believe in succession planning as much as I do, you'll know you can't give your kids special treatment. If anything, you need to work them harder than everybody else. They need to earn the respect of their peers. My son Matthew started working with us when he was 12 years old. He went from stocking cupboards to serving snacks, to doing the commentary on our site setting ships. He trained to be a captain, worked in engineering, took over HR, and did years of management training. He worked across every department, and by the time we had 500 staff, Matthew knew all their names, their kids' names, and where they were going on holiday together. It's hard work, and at times they won't see your vision for them, but without this preparation, everything you've built could fall apart within a generation (and that will be your fault, not theirs). Sometimes they'll be left out. My daughter Lucy had a huge part to play in City Cruises, but as she grew older, she wanted to do her own thing. Matthew, Rita and I were still entrenched in the business, but Lucy wasn't a board member, so she had zero control over any decisions. It's hard to be an employee sometimes, but when the business is so intertwined with your family, it can leave you feeling ostracised from both. Lucy understood that she couldn't be on the board without experience, and deep down, it wasn't what she wanted, but knowing all this didn't make it any easier. Maybe they had shorter childhoods than some kids, but I wonder how many parents get to see their children every day...
On our latest episode of the podcast, we ramble on about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 31st March and the 3rd April (Episodes #11,531 - 11,536). Everyone loves a good hospital scene on Corrie, right? Right...? Oh well, this week, we got a whole bunch of them in any case, with Dee-Dee's traumatic experience as baby Laila comes a little earlier than planned coming front and centre. Will Dee-Dee be able to give her little bundle of joy up, though? And have James' dreams of a loving family unit been cruelly dashed? Meanwhile, Kevin starts his chemotherapy this week, just in case the Bailey story didn't deliver enough medical drama, but at least we also got the delightful scenes with Todd and Theo to fall back on for a bit of levity! Also this week, Christina's back at the Rovers and she's baying for Jenny's blood, Debbie takes a mysterious tumble in the ginnel, and Chesney finally catches up with the viewers by figuring out the identity of the mysterious silver van man. Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, and we share the newly released details about this year's British Soap Awards, as well as our thoughts on Corrie legend Thelma Barlow's new short film, Sleepless in Settle. We round off the podcast with a bit of feedback - including a plug from one listener for Calum Lill's first post-Corrie project! Street Talk - 00:14:25 The Kabin - 02:24:33 Feedback - 02:43:32

For this week's bonus podcast, we do a classic character profile, taking a look back at the characters of Angela and Tommy Harris. Arriving on the cobbles in 2003 under the alias Nelson as part of a witness protection scheme, the Harris family brought plenty of drama to Coronation Street over a three year period. From Tommy's tough love parenting and Angela's struggle to keep their family together, to Katy's shocking affair with Martin Platt and the tragic events that followed, the Harrises had a short but unforgettable stint on the show. Was Tommy too controlling? Did Angela make the right choices? And do the Harrises deserve to be remembered more than they now are? We discuss all this and more in this week's episode!

He also opens up about his early days navigating the industry, his unexpected stint as a radio researcher for Jimmy Young — where he landed Margaret Thatcher's first radio interview — and why, after a lifetime of stories, he's finally ready to tell them all on his brand new tour: Talking B*ll*cks.You can catch Talking B*ll*cks live across the UK until the end of May, tickets available here!For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Join us for Hammer's Hands of the Ripper, a 1971 British horror film released as the second half of a double feature with Twins of Evil. Directed by Peter Sasdy, produced by Aida Young, and written by L.W. Davidson from a story by Edward Spencer Shew. Making good use of the large Baker Street set at Pinewood Studios—left over from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes—the production was denied permission to film its final scenes at St. Paul's Cathedral, so a replica was constructed instead. If the Pritchards' home and staircase look familiar, it's because Hammer's ever-resourceful set designers reused elements from The Curse of Frankenstein years earlier (see episode 2 of our podcast for more on that classic). Director Peter Sasdy, who cited Hands of the Ripper as his favourite film, also directed the original Adrian Mole TV series (both The Secret Diary and The Growing Pains), three episodes of Hammer House of Horror, and two other Hammer features: Countess Dracula and Taste the Blood of Dracula (the latter coming to the podcast later this year, hopefully). Most monumentally, he directed the legendary BBC sci-fi thriller The Stone Tape (definitely check General Witchfinders number 5—our third most popular episode to date!). Eric Porter stars as Doctor Pritchard. Renowned for his work in film, television, and theatre, he famously played Professor Moriarty opposite Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes and Soames Forsyte in The Forsyte Saga. Angharad Rees plays Anna, the daughter of the Ripper. She appeared in Boon (take a drink), starred as Demelza in 28 episodes of Poldark, and, the year after Hands of the Ripper, featured in Under Milk Wood alongside Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, and Elizabeth Taylor. She was made a Fellow of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, had a pub named after her in Pontypridd (sadly now a card shop), and founded a Knightsbridge jewellery company, Angharad. Pieces she designed were featured in Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Wikipedia also notes she was once in a relationship with Alan Bates, which we mention only to plug episode 35, where we talked about The Shout.Lynda "Nurse Gladys Emmanuel" Baron appears as Long Liz—a curious name choice considering Long Liz was an actual canonical Ripper victim. Here, she's depicted alive and well (at least initially), years after Saucy Jack's supposed demise. Baron appeared as a recurring character in both Coronation Street and EastEnders, and played three different characters in Doctor Who across three Doctors.Dora Bryan turns up as Mrs Golding, one of two clairvoyants in the film. You may know her from 50 episodes of Last of the Summer Wine, Boon (drink), or as Helen in A Taste of Honey (written by Jon's mum's mate Shelagh Delaney). She (Dora, not Shelagh) also appeared in both a Carry On and a St Trinian's.Lastly, Norman Bird pops up as the Police Inspector. If he looks familiar, it's because he had over 200 TV and 60 film roles. He was in Spywatch (as Mr Jenkins), Boon (drink), Woof!, Whack-O!, and Help! (with Stephen Mangan). He also did a stint in Jim Davidson's Up the Elephant and Round the Castle—only mentioned because Ross was convinced it was alongside Marina Sirtis, but IMDb says she was in just one episode?Anyway, back to Norman Bird. He appeared in The Adventure Game, Whistle Down the Wind, Steptoe and Son, Fawlty Towers, Please Sir!, and The Medusa Touch (on our long list since day one). He was Mr Braithwaite, the farmer, in Worzel Gummidge and voiced Bilbo in the 1978 Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings.

It seems like quite a while since we've done a listener question segment, but thanks to some recent submissions from some of you guys, we thought now was the time to bring it back again. This time, we begin by tackling Tom's question relating to the 1961 Equity Actors' strike, which saw the Corrie cast reduced to just 14 core characters for a number of months. If that happened today, which characters would we choose to keep the programme running? After that, we pondeR Jon's question about the term 'classic Corrie'. People are always saying whether this or that feels like classic Coronation Street, but what does that mean to us?
On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 24th and the 27th February 2024 (Episodes #11,501 - 11,506). It was a bit of a barm cake of a week this week, with a fantastic visit to Weatherfield on Wednesday sandwiched between two episodes that really did leave a bit of a bitter taste in our mouths. To learn that such a chirpy, positive character as Julie has returned to the Street after ten years not to inject a ray of sunshine into the sometimes quite bleak world of Weatherfield but to reveal she has stage 4 cancer is one thing, but to then have Kevin be told that his own procedure last week was only partially successful really is a tough pill to swallow. Fortunately, there were still moments in the week we really enjoyed too - Ken's unveiling of Cassie's scheme was really fun to watch, and as much as we can't back Jenny's encouraging Daisy to lie about her baby's father, we couldn't help but get caught up in all the drama there too. So all in all, a very mixed bag this week, but still a lot of fun to chat about! Next up on the podcast, we take a trip to The Kabin, where the author and setting of the new Coronation Street interactive novel are revealed (good news on both counts, in our book!), and we round off the show with all your thoughts on the latest Weatherfield goings on in the feedback section.

On our latest podcast, we take a look at the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 3rd and the 5th February (Episodes #11,483 - 11,488). Although Corrie had to tie up the 'What happened to Amy?' thread and of course throw in a few Carla scenes to appease the hungry fans, the vast majority of the action centred around the fire at the Platts' house this week. If you enjoyed last year's Whodunnits centred around Lauren and Joel, you're in luck because Corrie has dipped into the same well again this week by presenting a number of suspects for the arson - did Abi torch the house to cover her tracks? Leanne to get revenge on her boyfriend-stealing sister? David to claim on the insurance? Or maybe the culprit is a character we may not be supposed to suspect at this point - someone who hasn't yet had the chance to explain their movements in the minutes before that match was tossed through the letterbox... After exhausting our thoughts and theories about the week's episodes, we take a trip to The Kabin, where we celebrate Corrie's win at the Broadcast Awards, then we hear some listeners' thoughts on the fire in the feedback section.

For such a small location, Coronation Street has certainly seen its fair share of blazes over the past 65 years! In this week's bonus episode, we take a fiery trip down memory lane, reliving Corrie's most unforgettable infernos -from flaming fast food vans and blazing bureaus to the Rovers going up in smoke and even an entire block of flats set ablaze! But what's been the biggest cause of these disasters - tragic accidents or something more sinister? How many beloved (and not-so-beloved) characters have met a fiery fate? And who are the unluckiest - or perhaps most suspicious -residents who always seem to be lurking when flames start to rise? Tune in to find out!

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 6th and the 10th January (Episodes #11,461 - 11,466). Wow, what an incredible week that was! After the all-too perfect happy ending that was being built up for Mason last week, we had a feeling that he might not be making it out of Monday's episode alive, but we weren't expecting an episode quite like that. In a sequence that was part dream, part parallel universe, Corrie showed us what might have happened had Dylan not bought that zombie knife a few months back, before ultimately revealing how it actually led to Mason's tragic end. There were powerhouse performances all round as characters reacted to the news of the stabbing, and plenty of discussion was generated relating to who was ultimately responsible for 2024's first death on the cobbles. Not only that, but we also said a fond (and hopefully temporary) farewell to Evelyn as she headed off to university, whilst over at the prison, Bobby has a big request for a familiar face from the past... Next up on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we take a look at the non-spoilery Corrie news of the week, and we finish things off with more of your fantastic feedback.

In this week's bonus episode, we take a deep dive into all things Coronation Street in 2024 - a year where the drama behind the scenes often rivalled what was playing out on screen! From the departure of producer Iain Macleod and the early releases on ITVX, to a wave of concerning press articles about the state of our beloved soap, it was certainly a bit of a challenging year to be a Corrie fan. But as always, there were plenty of moments that stood out for the right reasons. For every misstep - like the George and Glenda feud - there were episodes, stories, and characters that captured our imagination, including Paul's heartbreaking journey with MND and the chaotic antics at the Institute. We also had the multiple twists of the Joel and Lauren saga, the credulity-stretching reveal of Toyah's baby, the undeniable charm of Dorin, and of course... #Swarla. In this episode, we'll unpack everything we loved, everything that didn't quite hit the mark, and everything in between. We hope you enjoy the ride!
This week on the pod we're diving into the archives and revisiting a classic episode. Rob is joined by comedian, actor and resident QI panellist, Alan Davies, to chat about a variety of topics including the 1970s US cop show Starsky and Hutch, Coronation Street's Vera Duckworth, and how he's starting to write a novel. The ‘Jonathan Creek' star also discusses a particularly difficult stand-up experience, and how his comedy was inspired by the alternative 80s sitcom, ‘The Young Ones'.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dame Maureen Lipman has been a fixture of stage and screen for over five decades. She has been a member of Laurence Olivier's National Theatre company and the Royal Shakespeare Company; she is well known for her roles in acclaimed films like Educating Rita and The Pianist; and most recently she has had an award-winning run in soap Coronation Street. For a generation she will always be 'Beattie': the grandmother from the BT adverts. On the podcast, Maureen talks to Katy Balls about her journey from 'the cobbler of Kazimierz Dolny to the cobbles of Corrie'. They discuss selling comedy as a commodity, whether you can separate art from the artist and her most recent role in a Christmas panto. Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Photo credit: Jay Brooks.

The overwhelming success of Gavin and Stacey is proof that the BBC no longer needs the outdated and unfair licence fee. I discuss why the revival of this James Corden and Ruth Jones comedy highlights the BBC's ability to attract commercial sponsors and generate revenue without forcing UK households to pay a compulsory poll tax. If shows like Coronation Street can thrive on ITV with sponsorship, why can't the BBC adapt? The licence fee is an archaic system introduced in a pre-digital age. With the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube, it's time to rethink compulsory funding for public broadcasting. Sports coverage, popular dramas, and even BBC radio could survive—and thrive—in a competitive, commercial market. Selling off BBC radio would level the playing field for commercial stations, ensuring fair competition and media diversity. Join the debate as I examine the future of British broadcasting, the fairness of the licence fee, and the pressing need for reform.

On our latest podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd November (Episodes #11,417 - 11,422). It's the aftermath of the big whodunnit week, and Max is behind bars again after confessing to the murder to protect Lauren. Unfortunately for him, when David and Shona find out about what he's done, David's happy to throw Lauren under the bus - but did he do the right thing? Meanwhile, there are some saucy Swain and Connor scenes this week, as the latter decides to Swarla her pride after weeks of hesitancy and jump between the sheets with the undercover detective. Also this week, Mason's brothers are on the prowl, Dee-Dee finds out she's up the duff-duff, and Cassie resorts to desperate measures to keep her job as Ken's carer. In The Kabin, we celebrate Corrie's recent wins at the RTS NW Awards, and we finish things off with some lovely feedback. Street Talk - 00:10:52 The Kabin - 02:25:07 Feedback - 02:34:59
Following last week's big reveal of who killed Joel, our latest bonus podcast dives into Coronation Street's rich history with whodunnits. Our favourite soap has been keeping viewers guessing about killers' identities as far back as the 1960s, with some of the most iconic examples including the murder of Frank Foster and, of course, the tragic death of Rana Habeeb in the Underworld roof collapse. But it's not just murders we discuss - we also revisit times Corrie gave us suspect lists for other crimes, like when Ken was pushed down the stairs and when Adam was bludgeoned in the Bistro. So, what makes a great soap whodunnit? And which ones are our absolute favourites? That's exactly what we explore in this week's episode!
Recently, we were lucky enough to be invited to a press day at Coronation Street, where as well as being able to schmooze with the stars at the recently refurbished Chariot Square hotel, we had the chance to explore the treasure trove that is the Corrie Prop store, meet new producer Kate Brooks, and even team up with a pair of cast members to take part in a pub quiz - held in the Rovers Return and hosted by Sally Ann Matthews!
