Yes I did notice the new Kitchen > Garage door which has never been seen before!

If you consider that the door actually moved 90 degrees then it does all fit into place. The door should have been on the back wall of the Kitchen not the side wall!

Anyway, more of concern is how the Rovers back room manages to be located in the middle of Rosamond Street and how people go to the toilet in Ken Barlow's kitchen!! Very Happy


If you look closely there is a small divide between the rovers and number 1 where the toilets are meant to be but it is rather small.

And yes Ii did notice that the garage door was situated in the wrong place. I knew the Hillmans had a garage but we've never seen it before!

The song was good, but got rather annoying after a while as it kept repeating. It should have changed to classical and got faster and faster on a piano towards the end.

Also, anybody notice that the Hillman garage cannot possibly exist.

He took Gail through a previously "unseen" door directly into his garage, which means that the car would have been facing directly into the living room.

Hillman didn't move the car, and it sped straight out of the doors when Audrey forced them open, so somewhere along the line there's a chunk of living room missing, the diagram below helps explain what I mean...

The position of the garage from the outside will come to the side of the kitchen going up, with the garage doors running parallel to the top of the stairs.

I've altered your plan to look like this

Therefore its only the door that was wrong, but then again, if it had have been at the back, you may have seen the fact that there wasn't really anything there!

James did you actually watch this episode?

Yes I did. However, regarding the smashed glass, if the water had got in that quickly, the glass would had to have imploded. And it doesn't seem to be getting in too quickly here either:

The windows were open in the garage - remember Richard was trying to gas them all.

Indeed they were, and indeed he was. However, not long after hurtling into the living room-- sorry, out of the garage (!) they put the windows back up.

If the windows were open Sarah-Lou would have jumped out, surely? Might hurt but probably less so than drowning.

ALL the actors did their own stunts (underwater scenes filmed at the Naval training base at Fleetwood)
Fair enough, that I didn't know. I didn't imagine they'd use that actual canal either.

Bethany was a doll (not one of the two child actresses they use for the series).
Doesn't suprise me, they wouldn't be able to risk that.

All this is fairly well known - all the actors are doing the daytime talkshow rounds.
I don't watch much daytime TV!

Said song is "You & Me Song" by the Wannadaddies.

Who actually drove the car into the actual canal though? The guy who plays Hillman can't have done that.

This is also a "double" continuity error. If you look at the top image, the door is not flat against the right wall, which in turn suggests that the kitchen too cannot exist...


Its not a continuity error, that would have been something like Richard changing his tie between rooms, its just one of those things that only proper fans notice

Really good Corrie ep on Wednesday! I think Gail will survive, and probably Sarah and David, but I'm not sure about David. He might survive, though, which means only Tricky Dicky dies!

The garage doors cannot be parallel to the top of the stairs. The garage doors are at a right angle to the front door, so that wouldn't work out either.


Sorry, I meant a right angle.

The porch door is also wrong on those diagrams, as the front door is directly in front of the lounge door.

Anyone like to do a diagram of the interior of the rovers!!

That is more like the layout and is possible

BUT

what i cant understand is where the door is between the garage and the house and how big this 'area' actually is?

No, its more like this:

http://www.hillyard22.freeserve.co.uk/corrieplattplan.jpg

The door to the Platts is not on the side of the house, and the long wall is the wall we rarely see, but is really the wall between the Platts and the Nelsons house!

Therefore its only the garage door that was wrong, all the rest of it is right!

Killing off Richard was a mistake. If Brian Capron wanted to leave, fair enough, but I'd much rather he was "permanently missing" rather than drowned allowing for the possibility of more terror down the line.

possibly, but then we wouldn't have had last nights episode!

It was such a good episode, I watched it again on Grampian TV this afternoon, when he said that he loved them all, it actually made you think that he isn't all bad after all! (well besides being a murderer!)

Anyway presumably Tommy Nelson will be a hero, and the press will be around again, will that cause problems for the Nelsons in a future storyline....
