On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 23rd and the 27th February (Episodes #11,801 - 11,805). This week on the cobbles, the Mal storyline kicked up a gear as Bernie's unwanted admirer crossed the line from irritating nuisance to full-on physcho stalker – only to end up in intensive care after a brutal attack by an unknown assailant. In true Weatherfield fashion, Bernie is wrongfully arrested, though it's soon revealed that that it was Kit who bonked him on the head. With a tenacious colleague sniffing around the case, could DC Green's career now be hanging in the balance? Elsewhere on the street, a little more of Jodie's mysterious past comes to light when a young girl who she seemingly nannied for once show up to meet her - plus we see another item added to her secret box of trinkets... Meanwhile, Steve learns that his dad has been taken into hospital, George worries that a string of blunders at the undertaker's could damage the business's reputation, and the spark between Ollie and Lauren is swiftly extinguished following an intervention from Maggie. Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, and we weigh in on some candid comments from Maureen Lipman and Sally Ann Matthews about the state of the show at the moment, all of which is pretty timely in the wake of Iain MacLeod's interview last week! We round off the show with more of your feedback. Street Talk - 00:13:44 The Kabin - 02:38:44 Feedback - 03:00:46

We recently headed up north for another Corrie location hunt, ticking off several spots that were completely new to us. First up was The Saddleworth Hotel, seen earlier this year as the setting for Debbie's ill-fated wedding, followed by a visit to Bolton's Old Magistrates' Court – a familiar backdrop for some of Coronation Street's most explosive trials in recent years. While we were there, we also caught three former Coronation Street stars on stage at the Octagon Theatre, explored the latest additions to the MediaCity tour, and tracked down a couple of other locations that have popped up in smaller scenes over the years. It was a whirlwind trip full of cobbles-related goodness, and in this episode we share all the highlights - the sights, the surprises and, of course, plenty of Corrie chat along the way!

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI, wishes you were here to hear him discuss humour in THE AVENGERS.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on February 15th 2026.This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, is back, although this week we're going to try and get away from the Antipodean content that his recent appearances on VISION ON SOUND have tended to concentrate on, and instead focus on a subject that is almost certainly more familiar to connoisseurs of British archive television: THE AVENGERS, that latterly most quirky of 1960s television drama series.Our idea was to talk about (and hopefully appreciate) the more humorous aspects of this particular show, showing its development and evolution away from its more urban thriller and kitchen sink dramatic roots in the early 1960s, to the urbane, witty, and charming version as seen during its final season in which PATRICK MACNEE's John Steed was paired with LINDA THORSON as Tara King, and PAUL picked out a particular episode that he considered to be one of the more broadly humorous ones for us both to watch.This was WISH YOU WERE HERE, episode twenty of series six, written by TONY WILLIAMSON, and directed by DON CHAFFEY, and, whilst what follows isn't exactly an episode guide-style examination of that show, it did provide us with an excellent prompt for a conversation about humour in TV drama series that includes references to other episodes of THE AVENGERS, THE NEW AVENGERS, DOCTOR WHO, and even CORONATION STREET, and I hope that you find the next hour as entertaining as it was for us to record it, even though PAUL wasn't in the most conducive of places (technically) on the day of recording.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 9th and the 13th February (Episodes #11,790 - 11,794) This week, we meet Jodie and Shona's dad, Doug, though he's confined to his bed and certainly not in a good state of mind - though he's still lucid enough to know his youngest daughter's a wrong 'un. We're loving the mystery around this family, and Jodie's curious box of knickknacks has us wondering all sorts about what she's been up to! Also this week, Sam gets in touch with the Weatherfield drugs wizard when he hears that Ritalin can be used as a study aid - but is this a little too out of character for him? Also this week, Theo returns from his mum's, Mal proves himself to a a definite stalkery weirdo, and Debbie is assigned a prison buddy - and it's  someone we were very happy to see again! As much as we wanted to carry on with the podcast after this and discuss the cancellation of the BSAs, unfortunately Michael wasn't feeling too well at all, so we called it a day after Street Talk - so you'll just have to wait a little longer to hear our thoughts on the British Soap Awards' cancellation!

The Desert Fox legend endures, but how much of it is true?In this landmark 200th episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined once again by military historian and author Peter Caddick Adams to dismantle the enduring myths surrounding one of WWII's most famous — and most misunderstood — figures: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox.Rommel has long been painted as the daring genius of North Africa and even as a “good German” who stood against Hitler. But how much of that is reality, and how much is myth-making? Paul and Peter dig deep into the legend, the propaganda, and the politics that shaped Rommel's reputation during the war — and long after it.The Strategic Genius? Rommel's early victories in North Africa cemented his reputation, but Peter reveals the other side: his lack of staff training, his tendency to lead like a battalion commander even at army level, and how much his success relied on captured British equipment, Allied weakness, and signals intelligence.The Propaganda Machine Rommel wasn't just lucky; he was a propaganda dream. From his days as Hitler's bodyguard in Poland to his carefully staged desert photographs, he cultivated the Desert Fox image with Nazi backing.Politics and the July Plot Did Rommel oppose Hitler? Peter explains why there's no evidence he joined the July 20th plot — a post-war myth shaped by biography and politics.The Post-War Reinvention After 1945, Rommel was recast as the “clean Wehrmacht” figure NATO needed. Churchill himself called him “a daring and skilful opponent,” sealing the legend.Packed with anecdotes — from a dachshund in the classroom, to Coronation Street's “Rommel the cat” — this milestone episode strips away the myth to reveal the complex man behind the Desert Fox.

On our latest podcast, we take a look at the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 26th and the 30th January 2026 (Episodes #11,782 - 11,786). Definitely a bit of a divisive week, this one, with opinions all over the place online about Billy's funeral and Bernie's subsequent getting off her cake, as she put it. Even the pair of us felt quite differently to each other about how Wednesday's episode went down, with Gemma praising the writing and direction whilst Michael didn't think it quite did enough to honour Billy's time in the show amongst the Carl vs Theo drama. Speaking of which, we chat for quite a bit this week about who we'd prefer to ultimately see come on top there, and how much Theo is actually in control of what he's doing. One thing we both agreed on, though - which seemingly a  sizeable chunk of Corrie fans online disagreed with - was that Thursday's Bernie-centric saga was fantastic, plus we were both very chuffed to see Sam back on centre stage on Monday's episode - and think that Megan will prove to be quite a force for him to reckon with!

On our latest podcast, we have a chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 12th and the 16th January (Episodes #11,773 - 11,776). It's been the theory on everyone's lips for a few months now, but this week, it was finally revealed that Debbie is indeed Carl's mother and not his sister, as we had previously believed. Will this be a secret she takes to her grave, or is it only a matter of time before it all comes out - and does it change how we think of her and Bill Webster having lied about Carl's parentage all these years? Not only that, but does it really mean she should be taking the rap for him when it comes to Billy's death (especially when we know that John Sugden and Theo are much more to blame than either Debbie or Carl!)? Also this week, Daniel gets a shock when he thinks that he's about to become a dad again, Jodie gets her feet well under the table at Number 8, and we say bye bye to Becky, who's sentenced to twelve years in prison - but there are still more than a few questions we want answers to with this story!

I don't know about you, but I enjoyed ITV's recent Coronation Street and Emmerdale Corriedale crossover, a special episode to promote the new “power hour” of soaps broadcast every night on the channel. I haven't watched either soap regularly for years, but I tuned in because it was an event. An opportunity to see popular characters converse, and perhaps the hope of the history of both shows being honoured in some way.Excitingly, my hopes were answered. The cinematic presentation of the car crash, and the way these characters came together, was well put together for what it was. Clearly, a lot of thought had gone into the execution, and the cast delivered. For me, a throwback fan of both shows' past, the moment of WOW came when Ken Barlow and Eric Pollard shared a scene for the first time. It was a throwaway scene that didn't add much to the plot, but it was necessary. Even if you've never watched either show, you'll know of Ken and Eric. They are a constant and a route back to each show's respective origins.Bill Roache has been in Coronation Street since the first episode in 1960. Viewers have watched Ken's life unfold and shared in every piece of drama he has endured. Chris Chittell joined Emmerdale Farm in 1986, and Eric has been a man of many guises and eras. Both characters witnessed the evolution of their shows, from kitchen sink teatime fodder to today's soapy tension roundabout of secrets and murders. When I watched the episode of Emmerdale before Corriedale, I was struck by the difference in feel to the show of yesteryear. A far cry from the kitchen table of Annie Sugden.Allow me to digress a little here with Ma Sugden in mind, that I ask...What would Corriedale have looked like 40 years ago? 1986 was a time when both shows sought to reinvent themselves. The arrival of Alan Bradley in one, and the car crash death of Pat Sugden in another. What could have happened in a crossover? Perhaps a car crash could've involved the Sugdens and Barlows, with Jack, Joe and Ken at odds with one another. Perhaps Mike Baldwin has a business deal with Alan Turner? Or maybe, when thinking of the era, there was a cricket match involving Seth Armstrong and Jack Duckworth, what would Seth have made of Vera, Rita, Mavis or Ivy Tilsley? Such scenarios are only reserved for fan fiction, as we ponder what Amos Brearly and Henry Wilkes would've made of Bet Lynch's Rovers Return.The other thing that makes the whole thing pure fantasy is that such a crossover would've never happened because of the logistics of that time. Emmerdale Farm, as it was then, was mostly a daytime or early evening show that began to go primetime in the late 80s. Corrie was made by Granada, Emmerdale by Yorkshire Television, two different regional companies. They could've worked together, but it was unlikely. Both shows had different styles and approaches, each coming from different roots. I would argue it was only possible now because while each show has an identity, the gap isn't as wide as it used to be.I'm sure there are many critics for the crossover that did happen, but I was fairly impressed. There may have been other times it would've been excellent, such as during the era of the Tates in the early 90s, but they chose to do it at the right time. It was event television that is sorely needed in the age of declining viewership of linear television. It was an intriguing proposition to bring two titans of British soap together, and do so with drama and a hint of nostalgia. It may not be the golden years for either show, but there was enough of both DNA through the prescience of Barlows, Sugdens, Platts, Websters and Dingles to make any longtime soap fan cry with joy. Ken and Pollard? The icing on the cake.So what else is there to say? I've said enough. If you have anything to say about the shows mentioned in this podcast, you can email Jamie@OldTimeReview.co.uk, tweet @OldTimeReview on Twitter or check out the Facebook page, Old Time Review.

Earlier this evening, Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans across the UK were united in anticipation as the ultimate soap crossover finally exploded onto our screens. Two worlds collided in a spectacular stunt that saw Billy tragically meet his maker (and, we assume, enjoy a heavenly rave-up with Paul), while Carl's fate - and the survival of Shona's baby - remain agonisingly up in the air. There was absolutely no chance we were waiting until the weekend to unpack this one, so here are our immediate reactions: what we loved, what we might have liked to have seen but didn't, and just what on earth we think might happen next after one of the most talked about nights in soap for years.

On our festive edition of the podcast, we have a good old chat about Christmas week in Weatherfield, covering the episodes of Corrie shown between the 22nd and the 26th December (Episodes #11,753 - 11,758). Christmas time is here, and you know what? It just wouldn't be the same without erratic broadcast schedules, cheesy opening music montages and a big old dollop of misery splatting down onto pretty much everyone unfortunate enough to live on Coronation Street. This year saw the showrunners putting most of their rotten eggs in the Driscolls' basket, with a family meal for the Street's newest residents turning pungent thanks to the mean-spirited machinations of manipulative Maggie. Meanwhile, Carla's having a pretty rubbish Christmas too after being kidnapped by Becky, who takes the opportunity to seduce Lisa into bed in her partner's absence - is it all over for Swarla? Also this week, Abi makes a shocking discovery about Carl and James, Sally gives Joanine and Shanice a Christmas Eve to remember and the Platts get a festive message from Gail. Unsurprisingly, there's not really been anything worth reporting on in terms of Corrie news this week, but we've still had plenty of feedback from listeners, so we round off the podcast with that.

Whilst Kit's earlier this year felt like more of a bigger production, though, this week's look into Maggie's past was far more low key - though the revelation at the end that she's been covering up her involvement in Ben's father's death for all these years has certainly had many viewers looking at her in a different light now! And speaking of non-linear storytelling, was it just us, or did Carla and Lisa's break up on Friday's episode smack of déjà vu?

Well what a joyous trip to Weatherfield that was on Monday! Debbie has been the shining star of Coronation Street this year, and between her empowering speech, her boozed up revelries with her mates and her antics in the Fresco trolley, that really was among her best moments. Meanwhile, things certainly aren't looking quite so colourful in the Corner Shop flat, but does Todd's setting up of surveillance cameras hint that he's a bit more aware of what he's going through than we might have previously believed? Also this week, Megan gets a job at Weathy High, Becky comes close to permanently silencing Costello and Dee-Dee announces she's becoming the latest in a long line of Corrie characters this year to up sticks and emigrate - but how will James take the news?

Fifteen years ago this month, Coronation Street reinvented what a soap event week could be, sending a speeding tram hurtling off the viaduct and straight into the Corner Shop, its tail end crashing down on The Kabin. We honestly don't know how they could have gone bigger to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary, and even now, that spectacular week still stands as one of Corrie's greatest achievements. And yet, despite all that, we'd never rewatched those episodes… until now. So, to mark a decade and a half since John clobbered Charlotte with a hammer, since Sally left Molly beneath the rubble, and since Rita was bombarded with a barrage of bonbons, we've finally revisited the tram crash week in all its explosive glory. In this episode of the podcast, we talk through our reactions. Did it live up to our memories? Which moments had slipped our minds altogether? And is it still a must-watch for newer cobbles converts? We dig into all this and more in a packed, high-voltage discussion!

On this week's podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 10th and the 14th November (Episodes #11,711 - 11,716). This week, we were treated to another Kate Brooks patented 'event episode' of Corrie, with all the funny camera effects and timey-wimey shenanigans that they so often entail. This time, it's David and Shona who were under the spotlight, with a half-episode that told the story of their tragic trip to the hospital told directly through the characters' eyes - internal commentary and all. We've seen mixed opinions on this since it aired, and had plenty to say about the format ourselves! Another focus this week was Will's story - when we said that we wanted the Rovers at the heart of Corrie, was a teenage grooming story the sort of thing we were asking for? Not at all, but are we enjoying it nonetheless? Also this week, Fizz bubbles over at work after struggling to run the household with minimal support from wheelchair-bound Tyrone, Kevin nearly loses his car in a game of poker and Joni returns to the Metcalf household - though Tim seems far more occupied with what's going on on Tricia's Insta... Not a whole lot in the way of news to discuss this week - although we do make the time to offer a somewhat cynical look at this week's Corriedale viewer vote - and we round off the show with more of your listener feedback.

Hi, it's Natalie here. This episode is an emotional and important one. I'm joined by Tim Royal, a television director known for his work on Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and EastEnders, who reached out to me to share the story behind his short film "It's the Hope That Kills You."If you've been listening for a while, you'll know that male factor infertility was part of my own fertility story. And this month on the podcast, we're shining the spotlight on male infertility and men's experiences, which often go unheard. Tim's story speaks to that silence and the emotional toll that fertility treatment can have on men.What we talk about:How Tim felt marginalised and overlooked throughout the IVF processThe emotional weight of never being called by name or offered therapyThe pressure of “sample day” and why language matters in the clinicThe cumulative trauma of repeated failed transfers and insensitive staff questionsA powerful idea: colour-coded patient folders to avoid retraumatising questionsThe stark contrast between treatment at St Mary's Hospital and CARE FertilityTim's experience of debilitating anxiety and his journey to seek therapyThe importance of recognising and challenging intrusive thoughtsHow IVF reshaped his relationships, identity, and day-to-day mental healthTim's reflection on IVF as a team effort, and how he supported his wifeThe impact of working on scripts about fertility while living through treatmentChoosing to use film as a tool for honesty, empathy, and social changeHow hope can both carry and crush us during infertilityThe moment everything changed: a final transfer, a fertility stone, and holding on to the “1 percent”About the filmIt's the Hope That Kills You is a 13-minute short film written and directed by Tim, based on his and his wife's seven-year fertility journey. It is raw, authentic, and quietly devastating, capturing the micro-aggressions, emotional weight, and relationship strain of infertility.Tim self-funded the film and created it to spark conversations and help others feel seen. It's especially powerful for those trying to support loved ones but unsure how.The film will be available to watch for free on YouTube on 30 November.It has a Christmas element and was inspired by their 11th and final transfer, which took place on Christmas Eve.You can follow the film's Instagram page for updates: @itsthehopethatkillsyoufilmSupport for Men and Mental HealthAs Tim shares, his anxiety became life-altering and the lack of support for men in the fertility space made it worse.

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited to the press day at Coronation Street, where we got a sneak preview of an upcoming episode, sat in on an interview with producer Kate Brooks and had an access all areas tour of the set, where we investigated every nook and cranny of the main outdoor area (including having a look at what was behind closed doors!) and the main studios themselves, where we got a close up look at sets including the Platt house, the police station and the Rovers Return. In this episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience (don't worry - no big spoilers about upcoming scenes!) and on the YouTube version, share tonnes of photos and footage of the day. https://youtu.be/eJByctS5zjU
