This week, Coronation Street,the longest running soap opera on British television celebrates
it's 50th Anniversary. Affectionately referred to by fans as "Corrie", the series first started
on ITV on the 9th December 1960. The character Ken Barlow, was in the very first episode
and is still a major character, and still played by the same actor, William Roache.

The makers of the show decided to mark the event in an ever so dramatic way you wouldn't
expect in most soaps. I won't go into detail, but it was quite spectactular. I've uploaded a
videoclip of the last 3mins 10secs of Monday night's second episode, taken from it's first
showing on the UK's main commercial TV channel ITV1.


Coronation Street - 06/12/2010 - The dramatic last few minutes! (Embedded video)

Direct YouTube link if the first one (on my Opera Unite server) doesn't work.



BTW ... before anyone asks after they've seen the clip ... it's not a train, it's a tram!

DJGM,

You might have to check the link, both Safari and Firefox can't find the link.

That's odd, it works for me. The page is hosted on my main PC with the Opera Unite web server application,
but the video is uploaded to YouTube. I've added a second link for anyone else having the same problem.

Wow! What a great clip.

Question: is that a screen shot of SeaMonkey? Looks more like Safari.

It's Safari ... illustrated because of the link problem Antony had mentioned.

DJGM,

I just tried again, and I got the same message like previous:



Did you happen to have your computer off? or the network/firewall blocking incoming traffic?

The direct link works. Thanks for the cliff-hanger.
