For corrie watchers, Wendy Crozier is in it to!
Has anyone watched the recent ones? Who's the girl at school with Damon, I know her from somewhere but can't think where!

Is it in the sky channels?It will be on stv player from 1st February, going right back to the start.
I can’t wait, used to love watching it with my mum. After Laura died from switching on a light I was scared to touch a light switch for months
Sinbad was my favourite until tinhead came along and I fell in love with Philip Olivier.
Will anyone else be watching?

I am! Up in the frozen north. I used to watch River City religiously but I haven’t seen it in years (if it’s even still on). That was a cracking soap!Ah you're a Scotty! Love hearing where folks are from!

and the woman who played Alan’s mum was Nana Moon in Eastenders in the 00s (Alfie & Spencer’s nan)Ah that's another I've 'seen' before, loving rewatching this and trying to remember what they've been in!
I recognised her Lovie!!!and the woman who played Alan’s mum was Nana Moon in Eastenders in the 00s (Alfie & Spencer’s nan)
She even spoke in the same voice. I thought her Nana Moon voice was slightly put on but apparently notI recognised her Lovie!!!
Ahhhh yessss i couldnt place her. Thanks for that!and the woman who played Alan’s mum was Nana Moon in Eastenders in the 00s (Alfie & Spencer’s nan)
I really liked her, felt like a lovely granny, but must admit did get abit boring after a while!She even spoke in the same voice. I thought her Nana Moon voice was slightly put on but apparently not
There’s never any change to Alan’s voice, like he’s reading a long text message with no punctuation! I’m not sure what the point in the character is.I am watching every episode - and am still finding the Alan Partridge character quite ridiculous.
I felt exactly the same when I watched it first time, around 40 years ago!
Damon’s girlfriend being called Pat. This didn’t seem that odd back then (though Patricia’s that I went to school with - were usually shortened to Trish).
Pat seems such an old name for a teenager
I don’t think you missed anything, she just disappeared never to be mentioned againThere’s never any change to Alan’s voice, like he’s reading a long text message with no punctuation! I’m not sure what the point in the character is.
I must’ve missed an episode but what happened to the girl Barry picked up hitch hiking who pretended she couldn’t speak English? One minute she was living with Alan and Paul was chasing her around the garden and the next she’d gone. (I probably answered my own question there, being chased by Paul would make anyone pack up and leave pretty sharpish)
They were definitely still finding their feet in the early days!I don’t think you missed anything, she just disappeared never to be mentioned again
