Visiting an elderly relative. I’m definitely not tripping, but I swear I just saw Vic Reeves on Coronation Street. I’ve not seen this program since the early 90s so maybe it’s turned into some kind of comedy farce… or has Vic Reeve’s career taken a nosedive?

What gives?

Trying to reinvent himself under the name Jim Moir…

Cash money probably!

Trying to reinvent himself under the name Jim Moir…

Well it is his name 🙂

Same reason as Bradley Walsh, Nigel Havers, Roy Hudd, Ian McKellen, etc etc etc.

Well I never. Not had a TV since 2002. I just assumed the only people who watch this shite are a dwindling congregation of pensioners. And thus, no money in it. A far cry from the heady days when 80 million people tuned in to watch Dirty Den shoot Alf Ramsey or whatever. Still popular then these soaps? My Nan says they’re not as good cos there’s ‘too many gays and drugs’ so…

Whoaah…! Had ya gob young un! 😆

Why are you watching Corrie?

Well I’m not. I’m dicking around on STW whilst my nan watches it. There was just a smoking hot girl on it though so I might just start watching 😀

They should rename it Ceranution Street.

They should rename the pub the Ruvavurs Return

You wouldn’t let it lie!

You lying get !

Shooting Stars has aged very, very badly. If it was ever funny!

At least he’s only touching his own knees…

Ipswich!

Donkey.

It’s really had its day Corrie, so too Benders’.

What happened to Enemadale?

I reckon they’ll shift more C list shlebs in for bit part roles, then it’ll become a Celebrity Corrie/Benders and then get hoofed off to C5.

He fell into the part…

What happened to Enemadale?

I saw what turned out to be the last five minutes of it by accident* yesterday afternoon.It looked like David Lynch is directing it..spooky music and flash backs…
*honest.

That’s freaky! I left the telly on when I popped to the shops last night and when I got in there was Vic Reeves on the screen! I asked someone why Vic Reeves was in Corrie too. Then just got the predictable, “Oh so you watch Corrie?” reply. Hmph.
Some of Shooting Stars is still very funny…

His role in Hebburn included some straight acting, so it’s not a huge leap.

He went by Rod Moir at secondary school; Roderick is his middle name.

I found his book ‘Me, Moir’ absolutely hilarious!

Donkey.

:lol:Uncle Peter

I’ve not seen him on it… But is he sat at the bar in the Rovers, crying into his pint about how Celebrity Juice has completely ripped him off.

Mr Boombastic, telefantastic

😆

Charlie Chuck! Whatever happened to…

I drove Leicester from London to see Charlie chuck back in the day.
Princess Charlotte I think.
Very funny .& scary.

Was on James Whale first wasn’t he?

Was on James Whale first wasn’t he?

Drummer with The Small Faces apparently.

Who knew!?

I assume the smoking hot girl you’re referring to is Helen Flanagan.

She is fit as.

Saw Charlie Chuck headline a newly set-up comedy night in WGC 20-odd years ago.

Never seen anyone bomb so badly, only me and a couple of pals “got” him and felt compelled to go and offer some words of reassurance afterwards. He was quite stoic about it IIRC.

Thinking about it now, it was a terrible bit of booking.

*furiously googles ‘Helen Flanagan’*

Yep.

What time is Coronation Street on?
