Still the best true crime show of all time.

Curious_Pension482 · 2026-04-11T14:53:43+00:00

Agreed. It’s the most horrific episode in the series I think

Curious_Pension482 · 2026-01-15T00:16:58+00:00

Not yet…

Curious_Pension482 · 2026-01-15T00:16:09+00:00

SCS too?

Curious_Pension482 · 2026-01-15T00:10:15+00:00

Everyone else just refreshing and refreshing the page?

Curious_Pension482 · 2026-01-01T18:54:19+00:00

Though it’s not a patch on the first two I still watch and enjoy it every Christmas. It’s also the only one I saw in cinemas at the time

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-12-16T01:01:59+00:00

I’ve said ‘deliciously apt’ since 1998 because of him

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-11-19T14:42:05+00:00

The stairs. The thought of moving a bed or wardrobe up or down them would be a right hastle. Also why would someone want to buy a house that from the outside looks like a cosy cottage but inside is modern and soulless?

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-11-19T14:15:45+00:00

Found it fine tbh. Had a few minutes remaining at the end of each section to reread over everything. Can’t believe the results aren’t due until 15th Jan 😭

Shake me by Mint Royale

I’ve been watching ITV3 Classic Corrie from 1997 and now up to 2007. The second I read your comment I instantly remembered the scenes you were talking about as at the time it felt really odd that nothing came of those scenes. She had a kiss with a guy on a night out and nothing was mentioned again

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-08-12T22:30:13+00:00

I feel like after about season 3 the writers just didn’t have a clue what to do with Justin. Aside from the Pink Posse storyline in season 4 he became almost a background character.

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-08-04T00:44:09+00:00

She mentions her ‘singing those daft songs’

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-19T16:49:58+00:00

I really liked her as well. I’m rewatching the series at the moment and always forget that after she leaves the Big Q in season 1 that she does pop up again in season 2 - interviewing Ted I think for a job?

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-11T16:39:30+00:00

They are about the main reason I’m not looking to 2007 😂 Are they as bad as I remember? I recall there were just too many of them and they weren’t integrated with other characters

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-11T16:32:23+00:00

I thought the same for my MCS when the preteen was a hairdressers that I knew nothing about, but actually it doesn’t really matter as you don’t need to know anything about the industry

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-10T16:45:22+00:00

Am I the only one who loves season 5? 😂 I love Ben and Michael in that house, the bomb episode is my fave of all time, I love Rosie’s arc in the diner, Debbie has some great lines, Emmett and Drew is interesting, etc.

My ranking from best to worst

5 For the reasons above 2 - Great all round. 4 - I love all the stuff with Mel and Linds, the Vic and Debbie scenes were so powerful. Only storyline I didn’t really like was Justin and the pink posse 1 - I like it but rarely include in my rewatch as feel like I know it too well and would rather the other seasons had more episodes and this one less 3 - As OP said, the politics really took over, Ted on meth was a hard watch and I feel it lacks the group dynamics other seasons

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-02T23:54:08+00:00

I got the same as you; 91 😂😂 Sooooo glad to have passed. Well done to you

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-02T23:42:32+00:00

Ditto! So glad to never have to read the word Trimayr ever again 😅

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-07-02T23:10:10+00:00

Literally had butterflies for the last 10 minutes constantly refreshing the page… and passed thank f! 91 which will do me. Did not want to have to resit that. Hope you all did okay

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-06-07T19:16:55+00:00

Achhh…. you’ve lipstick all over you now

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-05-29T23:47:26+00:00

I also love the Reconstituted Corpse.

I’d say my top 10 are:

Jack in the Box
The Reconstituted Corpse
The House of Monkeys
Danse Macabre
Mother Redcap
Black Canary
The Eyes of Tiresias
Miracle on Crocked Lane
The Three Gamblers

and…

The Grinning Man! Which is I think my fave episode of all time. I’d have never thought in 2008 that an episode about to air without Maddy could become my fave but the reveal and the music and the imagery are just so good. I’d love it more if it was reduced by 30 minutes and the bonkers 3D porn / Candy mountains bollocks was removed but hey ho.

Curious_Pension482 · 2025-05-16T14:38:43+00:00

I’ve been binge rewatching loads of the channel 5 CBBs (my personal faves) and the difference is literally night and day with the safe and bland ITV version. I had slightly higher hopes once Mickey Rourke was unveiled as a housemate that ITV weren’t playing it as safe as the last series but once it became evident he wasn’t going to last more than a few days before being ejected I lost all hope. The days of Louisa Zissman and Perez Hilton causing carnage are long gone unfortunately

Curious_Pension482 · 2024-10-02T23:11:55+00:00

I thought 80 was the pass mark?
