Drop Dead Fred (oops, spoiler...)

WED! Coronation Street, ITV1, 7.30pm & 8.30pm

In the immortal words of Melanie C, "I couldn't live without my phone, but you don't even have a home." Whoops - sorry, wrong song. That should have read: "Things will never be the same again." Why? Because one of Weatherfield's best-loved characters (well, we've always been fond of him, anyway) is heading for the big butcher's shop in the sky, I say, the big butcher's shop in the sky. We'd worry about spoilers, but the whole darn thing's been all over the press for ages, so we are not even remotely botherd. Sorry.

As we believe we've mentioned many times on this very site, soap weddings must never go smoothly. It is actual soap law, or something. So in the whirlwind of Fred attempting to marry Bev, Audrey's got a case of the collywobbles and decided that she wishes she'd never turned down the portly butcher's amorous advances. And while the fact that Fred carps it on his wedding day is no great shock, the thing that's being kept under wraps for now is that he'll tell one lady that he loves her before he goes: but will it be Audrey or Bev? Our money's on the former Mrs Alf, but we could be wrong.

Elsewhere on the Street...actually, nothing's happening elsewhere. It's all about the wedding. But really, isn't that enough? I say, isn't that enough?

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
