Product Description

When it comes to appalling and disgraceful behavior and TV taboo-breaking controversies, Wisteria Lane, Southfork, Pine Valley, the O.C., nor any location in the soap universe have nothing on England's Coronation Street. The world's longest-running primetime drama is an international obsession. For longtime viewers or recent arrivals to the Street, this two-disc set is a fun video scrapbook of treasured memories as well as an essential primer to major characters and shocking storylines. Disc 1 contains two nearly-hour-long specials. "Corrie Bad Girls" is a tip of the hat to the women Corronation Street viewers love to hate, including Kate Ford's "high priestess of havoc," Tracy Barlow, and Wendi Peters' (God)Cilla, who one observer rightly calls "the worst mother on the telly." "Corrie Controversies" recalls the storylines that rocked Coronation Street, including the pregnancy of 13-year-old Louise Platt, and Todd Grimshaw's affair with male nurse Karl Foster. The second disc contains three more behind-the-scenes specials. "Nightmare on Coronation Street" recalls the "soap psychos" that have terrorized Weatherly residents. "Farewell Karen" is a fond look at one of Coronation Street's most popular characters, who catapulted actress Suranne Jones from obscurity to national fame. "Coronation Street Family Album--The Barlows" looks back at Coronation Street's longest-surviving, and certainly most dysfunctional, family. For those who live and die by Coronation Street, these behind-the-scenes specials, featuring rare footage, classic scenes, and interviews with cast, crew, and TV critics, will hit you where you live. --Donald Liebenson

This review is from: Coronation Street: Secrets (DVD)
I got this DVD for Christmas and had thoroughly enjoyed watching the little bit of it I have. It's divded into 4 DVDs, each with 3 45-minute segments. The segments have titles like "Barmaids," "Births & Deaths," "Villains," etc. They're all REALLY well done, featuring both clips from the show and interviews with current and former actors, as well as directors and writers. They also feature "behind the scenes" looks and neat little facts. An absolute must for all devoted CS fans!

This review is from: Coronation Street: Secrets (DVD)
I ordered this dvd before it was released in November. I still have not received it as it is backordered. Amazon never sent me notification and didn't change the estimated delivery date until after i complained. I've seen some of the specials from the dvd on CBC and they were very well done so i expect the rest of them will be too. If i can find it in a retail store before Amazon gets their finger out, i'll be cancelling it.
