00:00The sense of humour has gone out of them a little bit, you used to get more of a laugh

00:03and it's great when you're seeing things like domestic abuse getting put out there and everything

00:09and knife crime which were on Coronation Street. I'm not sure how much of an impact it'll have

00:15because I'm not sure how many people that carry a knife watch Corrie if I'm honest with you.

00:19So whereas again it's great and it's good to have it there, it shouldn't be the main theme,

00:23you've still got to lighten it up a bit, it's telly, it's entertainment.

00:26I kind of always think it's funny that whenever EastEnders is on at Christmas,

00:29I'm not sure if you're the same, but EastEnders just gets left on

00:32because it always seems to be spicier around Christmas time.

00:35If I need to up their game you know, there's always some kind of fire,

00:40there's always a fire going on, some houses burning down on a pub.

00:44I end up getting six to eight months of dialogue and you know exposition dumped on me about

00:50oh this person's talking to this person and oh well this person's gone behind this person's back

00:55and I mean a five-minute conversation could fill you on on six months worth of soaps really.
