I am surprised they got away with some of the scenes pre-watershed, but Sophie Thompson has been good.

Yes, the nipple tweaking scene was a bit close to the knuckle.

When they showed that programme about how they did the 'drowning' scene, it was obvious that the actor is very different from the character he plays - he was laughing and joking all the time. By the way, what's happened to Steven? Have I missed something?

Steven went to New Zealand to live with his real dad about four or five years back!

What is Phil's atrraction to women and why does he have permanent laryngitis?
Why didn't Michelle or Vicky come home for Pauline's funeral?
AND, why when the vast majority of people are cremated in real life, do most funerals on TV feature a burial??

Are any of Ian's children actually his own? And how does such an annoying, pedantic little man manage to attract so many wives?Steven is not Ians but the twins and Bobby are. I think the women are enticed by his chips.What is Phil's atrraction to women and why does he have permanent laryngitis?They are after his money and he gargles alcohol and smokes 50 a day.Why didn't Michelle or Vicky come home for Pauline's funeral?Maybe they knew she had left everything to Martin.AND, why when the vast majority of people are cremated in real life, do most funerals on TV feature a burial??To stop catholics getting upset ?

What money? Did you ever see him do a day's work? How does the arches make any money when Minty and Gary change a wheel between them then have a break, change some oil, then shut up for the day?
Come to think of it, no one in the square ever does a full day's work and none of them do jobs that would earn them much more than the minimum wage. Perhaps that's why none of them own a washing machine.

As for Ian, I think we're supposed to believe woman are attracted to his relaible, 'good dad' side. I wish they'd make him a bit less whiney sometimes.
I hadn't really thought about the burials before - I suppose it means in years to come we can have scenes with characters sitting mournfully at the grave of their lost loved one. A scene sitting with a pot of ash isn't quite the same!

Have you seen Ian get interviewed. He is just as whiney in real life.
He was in a show where my husband was working and was apparently totally obnoxious - demanding this and that every five minutes and he wasn't the 'big star' he is now.
Conversely, my brother-in-law knew Anna Wing (Lou Beale) quite well and said that she was an incredible old lady - really friendly and down-to-earth.
