Hi all.
Just watching tonights edition of Coronation St.
On the juke box in the background of the Rovers Return, i couldn't believe it. They were playing SOS.
I started jumping around the room like a madman.
Cheers BBB

BBB 8),you beat me to it ;) ;)
all that you could hear in my house was ssshhhhhhh,whats that on the jukebox :o :o
I was actually in the Rovers a few years ago - I dont think they do the tours of the set anymore though.
Hey,we must be two sad gits to be watching Coronation Street on a Friday evening ::) ;)
BDW,did you see Eastenders tonight :P :P :P :P
-
To tell you the truth, i can't stand ANY of the soaps. It's only coz the wife had it on.
But my ears pricked up (like they do being a Knopfler fanatic) ;D
And like you, i was going shhhhhh shhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhh, straining to hear EVERY note. :D
Not the first time Coronation St or Eastenders for that matter has had DS or MK on in the background.
I think Eastenders had 'Boom Like' That on a few years back.
I took the Street tour at Granada Studios about 15 yrs ago. It was GREAT to walk on the cobbles.!
Cheers BBB.

Yeah right Rollergirl.!!!!!!!!!!!! You're right. ;)
My whole life revolves around the soaps. Infact i spend so much time watching them nowadays, that i'm considering giving up my love of Mark Knopfler, and becoming a full time soap addict. :)
What do you think.!!?? :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers BBB ;D

I think it's about time you came out! ;D
Well done, we are all proud of you!!! ;D

I spotted Sultans too, but did nobody else notice that "Love Over Gold" was playing in the Rovers just 5 minutes earlier in that same episode?! Someone is obviously a fan!

They should re-name Coronation St.
They should call it.....Telegraph Rd. ;D

On the second episode of Coronation Street last Friday they were playing Lady Writer in the Rovers! I was listening to the song so intently that I have no idea what on earth happened during the last few minutes of the show. For all I know, Emily Bishop admitted to a lesbian affair with Betty and then announced that everyone's drinks were poisoned (for the record, I think that would make a great storyline).

I only watch for the music...honest.
That's three DS songs they've played in the space of 2 weeks; I can only assume that Coronation Street is lining MK up for a guest spot in the show. Maybe he could play Ken Barlow's long lost brother...who just happens to play guitar!
-
"Twisting by the Pool" was played in the Rovers on Sunday's episode.
Summat is definitely going on here.
-
I'm pretty sure the performing rights law would ensure that MK would get some cash every time one of his songs is played, even in the background, so this could be a nice little earner.
Maybe somebody from Coronation Street reads this forum? If so, could we have Walk of Life next please? :)

I'd like to offer Coronation Street this script (free of charge!):
Ken and Deirdre Barlow are in the Rovers:
Deirdre: Do you fancy a hotpot, Ken?
Ken: Shut up you stupid cow, don't you know what song this is?
Deirdre looks confused
Ken: It's "Tunnel of Love". Now be quiet and listen in silence.
They listen to the song for the final ten minutes of the episode. There is no more dialogue.
Does anyone think this wouldn't be an improvement?
-
Definitely!
-
Just heard BIA on 'Secrets of the Caribbean' with Trevor McDonald.
It was being used on the subject of the volcano erupting in Montserrat.
They played a good amount of the song. ;D
BIA was recorded in Montserrat, so probably why it was used. :)
Cheers BBB

Unfortunately I can't comment on Coronation Street, but it would be ideal for Days of our Lives, in a nice evening comfy scene between Bo and Hope. Or are they split up again?

MFN just played in Rovers. ;D Almost a minute played!!!!
Last week they played SOS (again)!!!! :o
I'd love to find out why they play DS so much.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

There must be a big DS fan working at Corrie :) good thing too, plus its only fitting that Sultans is played in the Rovers, its about a pub band.
I've just e-mailed ITV about this, and they sent back an e-mail saying they have forwarded my e-mail to the Corrie production office :) so, we'll see.

Just got this back from the Corrie people:
Thank you for your e-mail regarding the back-ground music used in Coronation Street. The Directors of the episode chooses all music and it must fit the

No problem.

Lady writer was played again last night :o :o :o
For any of you sados (including me) that might have recorded it on sky + (wifes idea just in case she misses it) it was played in the backround when Roy came into the Rovers to tell them that the young fellow had been injured in Afghanistan ::) ::)
Someone really likes DS in there - I'll bet you Pottel 8) got a job loading the jukebox :o :o
BBB 8),youve me as bad as you now ;) ;) ;)
-
I noticed it too. I think it must be Jim McDonald - he's in the army y'know!
