Corrie's 50th - Corrie Uncovered: Live Review

I'm glad they put this kind of show on after such an event. It was definitely needed. Stephen Mulhern presented the show on ITV2 which gave viewers the chance to voice their opinions of the Tram Crash that had just took place. 


There were interviews with the cast including Anthony Cotton (Sean), Alan Hasall (Tyrone), Samia Smith (Maria), Jack P. Shepard (David) and Michelle Keegan (Tina) as well as producer and mastermind behind the crash Phil Collinson. 


It was an interesting show to watch, especially how the tram crash was created and filmed. It was nice to see what other fans of the show thought about it and what the stars of the show thought too. A nice addition to the celebration.

Corrie's 50th - More Explosive Behind The Scene's From Corrie's Tram Crash

I've just discovered these spectacular pictures from the Daily Mail.

Wow. These explosions are when the tram comes of the rails and goes crashing into the street! The look immense! 


Here's what series producer Phil Collinson had to say on the the disaster:

"We've had a significant amount of extra money from ITV for this stunt. It's the most money we've ever spent in the show's history; it's going to be a spectacular set of episodes. The stunt would dwarf the June explosion at the Underworld knicker factory, which killed fugitive Tony Gordon, but from which hostage Carla Connor escaped. 

To give you some idea, we usually film five episodes in 12 days. But for the 50th we will be filming five episodes in ten weeks. It's basically the pace of a big drama. It's huge. The episodes would be like 'nothing we've ever seen on Coronation Street.' He added: 'I can't tell you how excited I am."

Both flats above both shop are totally destroyed in the crash!

The storyline will see many characters killed off and nobody will know who until it's aired. Check out this ariel view of the street. 

The show which is celebrating it's 50th year, just made it into the Guinness Book of Records for being The World's Longest Running Soap! These scenes will air in early December!
