CHARLIE CONDOU - No.940

END OF AN ERA FOR THE CORRIE CAST AND CREW
'Goodbye Quay St' made by @QuarterBlueMatt chronicles a change of address for the cast and crew of Coronation Street.


December 20th 2013 marks the final day that the nation's favourite continuing drama.
Coronation Street filmed at its home on Quay Street, Manchester before moving to its new multi million pound home on Trafford Wharf Road.

Granada Studios on Quay Street has been the home of Coronation Street since its inception and first show on December 9th 1960 and has seen the show produce over 8000 episodes within its walls. The history that has taken place not only within Coronation Street but within the Granada Studios building is unparalleled with too many comedy and acting legends to mention gracing its corridors.

However, at the forefront of all of the magnificent shows coming from Granada Studios is Coronation Street. This film pays homage to the men and women behind the scenes who will never let this show stop. EVER.

53 years and 11 days......and counting.
This is not the end, it is merely the beginning.

Goodbye Quay Street.

FROM SOMEWHERE
OVER THE RAINBOW
- WITH TOM IN OZ -

TONY ABBOTT - WRECKING BALL
Love this little cartoon clip about Tony Abbott's first 100 days in Government. It ends with a shot of Rupert Murdoch hugging Tony - for those who may be wondering!


randlight: @Tom_in_Oz_ as always great
MonORCA_Gilbert: @Tom_in_Oz_ Bewdiful. Loved it. Sharing it.

CORRIE ON THE MOVE

streetworker01: For the first time in 20 years, the Granada Tower is lit up - on our last day #corrie

Confidential_CC: @streetworker01 look at it like an adventure.... and the good thing is everyone is going on the same adventure #teambuilding

ROYAL FAMILY PHONE HACKING DETAILS EMERGE
 
NB: I did not intentionally remove the colour from this photo or deliberately make the subject look like one of the living dead. This is obviously his natural pallor! But strangely enough, he doesn't seem to have a reflection in the mirrored wall directly behind the sofa.

THE SUPER SWEET MEGAMIX IS BAAAACK!
This is an alternate upload of the Super Sweet Megamix that I made in early 2013. It contains 12 songs in 15 minutes. The first version I lodged on YouTube remains blocked in many territories but this version should play worldwide.
Play loud enough to annoy your neighbours:
dannywheatley: @Confidential_CC fab
marcelliotfans: @Confidential_CC Thank you Tom x
EmilioMOfficial: @Confidential_CC Sounds great sadly the youtube version won't play here
metamesaloud: @Confidential_CC good blend of old Sweet stuff #fan
StaceyDavies30: @Confidential_CC yay!
