Anyone else fed up with Coronation Street being shown twice on Mondays
 

is anyone else fed up with Coro being shown twice every Monday now.. Well when i say twice it's on once and then another episode that actually only lasts about 15 minutes and ends early.. it really annoys me now that it fills up so much of the ITV schedule.. Tonight it's on 3 times :Yikes:

the other week it was on twice on a Monday and twice on Friday as well

It least can just watch it when it is shown twice and avoid it the rest of the week..

I think that's why the stories are so weak and boring now it's on so much that the storyline is over in a week and they have to move onto the next sensational storyline.. is there really any point to getting this over with in one night rather than spread over several weeks like they used to be..

I watched one episode where Karen gave Tracey a good hiding, that was pure class, haven't watched it since. (I can't believe I know two of the characters names)

There's an off button on TV's?

Re: Anyone else fed up with Coronation Street being shown twice on Mondays
 

apparently, although I've yet to find it :D More useful than an off switch, I have found, is the realisation that there are many channels other than ITV, which is possibly the least watched 'mainstream' channel in our house. I don't know what's happened to it lately, over the past couple of years ITV has become complete and utter pap.

I'm waiting for News at 10 to be sponsored by McVities Chocolate Hobnobs.

I reckon they'll actually get Chris morris to present the news soon, it gets more and more like the Day Today and Brass Eye by the second.

Couldn't agree more Towny. Most of what they show is dire. (So I don't watch it.:D )

Yes!

That's true both episdoes are quite short so it seems the rest of the time must be filled up with yet more adverts for things we don't want to buy and shows we don't want to watch.
I know! Three! :disturbd: Why can't they just show a long episode and be done with it?

Re: Anyone else fed up with Coronation Street being shown twice on Mondays
 

Yes.

and all the other soaps as well .......

i think what the producers are realising is that before we were on the edge of our seats when a drametic storyline was happening and you had to watch Eastenders \ Coro \ etc for several weeks to find something out..

Now you can just watch it when it's one twice and ignore it for the rest of the week..

The storylines are rubbish at the moment as well. Todd gave up University to be with Sarah even though he was really clever and decided to stack shelves and work in a hospital even though we was clever.. didn't have the sense to go for an office juniour or anything.. or even have some idea of what he wanted to do.. He's already been out with Candice as well and now they've made him gay.. his reason for doing this is "I don't know".. it's hardley well written or anything.. if they had worked this out over a longer perioud from when he first came into the show and evolve the character over a period of time and then you could have said "we should have known" about the character rather than waking up one morning after the producer says we need a new sesnational storyline we threw a dart for the gay character and it landed on Tod..

Not much else on tv on a monday so I dont mind it being on twice :)

Re: Anyone else fed up with Coronation Street being shown twice on Mondays
 

It is getting a bit annoying now! I'm not bothered if they're good episodes but they are starting to draw things out too long over two episodes now. :(

Re: Anyone else fed up with Coronation Street being shown twice on Mondays
 

yes both the other epidsodes on last were short as well.. wonder if we can complain to the ITC about that.. i'm meant to be watching it twice on a Monday not 1.7 times because they have no other programs to show so back in a short version with loads of adverts..
