Oh dear. What has happened with the writing on Coronation Street. It used to be so well written, well observed and genuinely funny.

Now the police are involved in every other episode and violence is the order of the day. It’s almost like East Enders.

Plots either occur way too fast, (Ashley’s vasectomy operation was fixed up in an afternoon without any counseling – I truly hope that is not possible in the real world) or way too slow -surely someone would have realised that David Platt is a psychopath by now?
