An understandably wobbly and emotional introduction but how good is Gary Davies? Fits the slot perfectly. Steve would surely be proud.

People will disagree but I still don’t think Jade was racist. Uneducated and ignorant yes and from a completely different background. Not that it was excusable but at the end of the day, she was a vulnerable woman in a new style media storm.

Has Coronation Street had its day? I would certainly say it has moved on for a new generation. We were lucky we had the old guard for so long but things move on. I think it’s exhausted itself. Cut the episodes and farcical storylines.
Maggie Jones and Anne Kirkbride would’ve been 90 and 70 today respectively. They had the best comedy moments over the years but this heart to heart before Deirdre remarried Ken saw Blanche was always a softy really. Time obviously moves on but
#Corrie
is just not the same now.
I do NOT need the likes of Gobshite Collins and several other z-listers working on behalf of a government campaign telling me to stay at home! If being in lockdown & just existing isn't depressing enough, this is the last thing we want! THIS ORWELLIAN CRAP HAS TO END! SOD OFF!!!!
Derek Thompson is one of those old-school actors who has been on our screens for years, does the job, does the job well, doesn’t court publicity for doing it. EastEnders Steve McFadden is probably another. They’re a rare breed now.

Paul James O’Grady MBE DL
Funny. No nonsense. Friendly. Caring. Outspoken. One of the nicest entertainers in our lifetime. He’s gone but his legacy will surely live on forever.
“See you on life’s highway.” 👋
RIP Paul.
#PaulOGrady
The end of a great radio era and a great partnership. Loved the moments, especially the lockdown shows when Paul would say he was stuck in the linen cupboard amongst some old TV tat and an old BBC mic hanging on a string. Moments like that just made it all real. God bless him.
#SaturdayNightTakeway
already trending. Although it’ll have no audience in the studio, tonight’s show could ironically have its biggest viewing audience ever and ITV’s biggest Saturday night audience for decades. No pressure guys! 😆
I presume the producers wanted more of her friends to take part in this documentary with their stories but they declined out of respect. I can see why. That said, it’s brought her back into discussion- she is so missed. What a tragic tale.
#Paula
It couldn’t end without Barry Crocker’s theme, great to hear it again. And the appearance of Doug Willis, Madge and Philip Martin!
So err, Neighbours continues on Monday right? 😉

Noel Edmonds is now 75, the same age as Bob Monkhouse was when he passed away. He’s divided opinion over the years but my goodness, did he know how to do light entertainment, they both did.
#NoelsHouseParty
Seriously though, you youngsters will underestimate how BIG this show was in the 1990s. This alongside Driving School, Vets In Practice, Airport… Massive appointment to watch stuff! ☺️

Graham is an actor. Kyle is an actor. The guests unfortunately weren’t actors but vulnerable people. The production team weren’t actors either but had to turn the cogs like mice. What a horrid disgusting manipulative show.

#DeathOnDaytime
Well I for one am gutted Noel has gone. He might be completely nuts and full of ego but he’s a bloody good television entertainer and has entertained generations. Never thought he’d ever do this but he did. You young voters eh! Tsk!

#KathyBurke
for telling it like it is “I’ve been rich since I was 25”. Refreshingly honest. Not one of those celebs pretending she’s working class and just like the average joe.

So how did 2022 end?
Well we all sat at home and watched a musical about Prince Andrew whilst Pele and Vivienne Westwood passed away.

This is literally like how Chris Evans interview with Beatles producer Giles Martin went the other day. “What’s your favourite Beatles song? Go on you must have one?” “You see I like these…” etc
It’s coming, still going, probably twice the price of last years and full of adverts for Haven holidays and stairlifts, I’ll buy it and read about one page of it and just have it sitting in my living room as a Christmas table decoration but “it’s tradition”
@imshanereaction
I think the best we can expect is a 30 second VT from Björn saying how “50 years was a long time ago and we had great fun”. Followed by other Swedish artists maybe Loreen singing Waterloo in tribute.
Loved this show. Proper 90s sitcom. Ended the same year as Noel’s House Party with a Millennium special and due to Gary Olsen’s untimely death, further series were sadly never commissioned.
We moan Ant & Dec are on TV too much and get all the awards but they know live TV and are the last link to that old-school ITV era still going.
#SaturdayNightTakeaway
Ok but it is a big huge “WHY?” What are you reporting on? Were there ITV cameras present? I’m not comfortable with a national mourning becoming the subject of sensationalism just so that you can fill content for your morning show. They knew people who could get them in. End of.
