The character of Jim McDonald was vile. He was a brute, a bully, a drunk, a wife beater, and loathsome through and through. Glad Corrie are killing him off. Without a doubt my least favourite character ever.

Thrilled to get West End Girl on CD!

From Paris to Berlin really is that banger.

God bless EastEnders for showing off Zack's very peachy butt 🍑

There's a seller on eBay who has been listing tons of Warner Archive DVD releases, and I'm constantly amazed at the amount they have. All range from £10 to £13 which is reasonable given the rarity of all of them.

#OnThisDay 40 years ago - 28 January 1986 Following the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, Children's BBC's Newsround wins a behind the scenes battle to be the first to break the news on BBC1. Schedules are cleared for Peter Snow on BBC2 and Carol Barnes has the story over at ITN

Corrie has been awful tonight. Not surprised with one of the worst writers on the show, and some of the worst characters featured.

I've been on a 2006 music nostalgia fest and there were SO many fantastic songs released that year. It really doesn't feel like it was 20 years ago.

#OnThisDay 25 January 1995 Gretchen Franklin, known to millions as Ethel in #EastEnders, receives the This Is Your Life treatment. No sign of little Willy, but Roly the dog puts in an appearance, alongside #JuneBrown, #CliveDunn and Anna Wing.

Yes, I'm thinking about Jack this morning. 🍑 #TheTraitors

They absolute deserved that win! Rachel and Stephen played a blinder. What a final! #TheTraitors

Part of me thinks Rachel and/or Stephen are going all the way. It's gonna go either way at this point. #TheTraitors

Nice view of Jack just now 🍑 #TheTraitors

Saw Hamnet at the cinema earlier today, and it was brilliant. Jessie Buckley was phenomenal and deserves all the praise. Paul Mescal was equally excellent - they are both class acts.

I know it's just a trend, but why are people so nostalgic for 2016? It was a horrible year.

Violet Carson was heartbreaking during this story.

Had to get my all time favourite film, Sunset Boulevard, on 4k Blu-ray 😍 Masterpiece!

The TV Times from January to March 1961 has some brilliant letters/feedback from viewers on the very early days of Coronation Street. #Corrie

I still enjoy Call the Midwife, but I think its had its day. It's the Heartbeat of the past 13 years.

From January 2009 Ahead of the DVD release of British gangster movie The Crew, one of its stars, former #Brookside regular #PhilipOlivier explains how in the film "there is totally rudeness, more than I've ever had to do . . ."

Matthew certainly came, didn't he! #TheTraitors #OohErMissus

Beautiful piece of television. #TheTraitors

I won't be shedding tears over Billy the hypocritical vicar. #Corriedale

Coronation Street - written by H.V. Kershaw (4th January 1984). Elsie leaves the Street for the last time.

Yes, I am in love with Sam and Stephen. #TheTraitors

If anyone knows if Sam or Stephen from the new series of The Traitors are on Insta please let me know 😍

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!! 🥂 x

Whenever I watch Midsomer Murders on ITV, it's always a pleasure to see Nick Hendrix in a tight suit.

Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas 🎄

Will miss Tess and Claud. #Strictly

Good morning. Thinking about Oliver Jackson Cohen's hairy chest. 🔥

Acquired a genuine Coronation Street rehearsal script from March 1983 😍 So many icons in this episode! One moment featuring Hilda and Bet caught my eye. Will treasure this!

Randomly watching Countdown, and because I’m so used to watching Richard and Carol eps on YouTube, the current version feels alien to me! It’s soulless. Twice nightly Whiteley all the way!

Rewatched this 40 Years on Coronation Street documentary tonight - it was shown 25 years ago today (gulp). In retrospect, and when you see the show in its current state, the talking heads commentary is like watching a different programme. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSg7...

Heated Rivalry looks like it's lived up to its hype. Jesus so so hot.

Declan Rice, yes please 😈

Cannot wait to see Jane McDonald next September!!! First time I'm seeing her 🤩

Seeing as its now banned, and we have it on a VHS from a 2000 repeat, I watched Princess Diana's Panorama interview as it was shown 30 years ago tonight. Extraordinary to watch, especially given the appalling circumstances it came about. Nearly 23 million people watched it.

In 3 weeks time, it's Coronation Street's 65th anniversary, and to mark their Sapphire Jubilee, I wanted to do a countdown of my 65 favourite characters. It was a joy to put this together! 🧱🍺🐈 #Corrie #Corrie65 #Corrie65Countdown

Delighted by a spoiler for a certain BBC One big entertainment show.

The Emmerdale Rewind account finally got around to uploading Michael and Eric's fight. Eric head-butting Michael was cut from the ITV3 showing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IATi...

Sometimes I think Betty from Corrie was the serial killer they never had. The amount of times she flounced out of the Rovers in a huff, when she could've done someone in, or countless opportunities to poison someone's hotpot she didn't like.

Declan Rice, John Stones and Jordan Pickford playing tonight in the England game 🤤🤤🤤

Before and after. Baked my Christmas cake today and it was a success!

Tom Hiddleston is still filth 🤤 Gorgeous, gorgeous man. Can't wait for new Night Manager next year. Better get his kit off.

The live versions of A Sky of Honey from Kate Bush's Before the Dawn are really just something else. The original album is so lush sounding, but the live versions give it an extra dimension. How lucky was I to see it in person. Tree crashing through the piano and all!

I'm reminded that London Spy was shown 10 (!) years ago today, and my mind instantly goes back to that scene with Ben Whishaw and Edward Holcroft. Hot isn't the word. 🥵

I think its a Jonathan Bailey kind of day

Carla has been utterly ruined by the Swarla nonsense. Sick of them, and they are dragging the show down. #corrie
