Coronation St

[tearinghair]

Have just read that the music played for Jack Duckworth's last moments tonight is Matt Monro singing 'Softly as I leave you', my favourite song of all time. Worth watching the programme for that alone.

[Dris]

Reminded me of the scene from Ghosts -I am so glad they didnt over egg it.It was perfect.

[4getmenot]

yes bobbi I heard it in rovers just as he left

[Bobbisox]

it was himself singing it as far as I know

[chrissa1]

I shed a tear or two. Beautifully done.

[Bobbisox]

yep it was I agree chrissa

[alexanderd]

I didnt cry half as much as when them lot beat us 5-1!!!!

[Bobbisox]

dry those tears alex, Corrie is far more important..lol

[LoftyLottie]

Good old Corrie. Beautifully done and not over the top. Eastenders and Emmerdale just can't compete. It was Tyrone at the end that made me shed a tear. An excellent piece of acting from him. I shall miss Jack!!

[Bobbisox]

oohhh LL I do like Emerdale tho' mind you, if thats what living in a hamlet in the Dales is like, give me Newcastle any time..ha-ha

[LoftyLottie]

Never could stand Eastenders Bobbi - too loud and over the top. Emmerdale is just too silly for words in my opinion. I only watch Corrie as far as the soaps go.

[oscarina]

Yes it was a fitting end for Jack, meeting up with Vera, very poignant moment with Tyrone!

[Bobbisox]

there is more happens in that tiny village than anywhere ..lol
murders, incest, affairs, drugs,plane disasters, fires...

it's worse than Midsomer, theres 3 murders a week there!!

[tearinghair]

sorry, pressed a wrong button just now - didn't mean to do a 'best answer' at all. But Matt Monro was the best singer of that type of song.

[Bobbisox]

tearinghair I am listening to him as we 'type'

[trt]

I was disappointed with the scene of Vera a appearing, I thought they should have used the technology available to make her look like an apparition/ghost, as in the movie Ghost, and when they danced they should have shown him through the lounge mirror dancing on his own..

[tearinghair]

What a loss, wasn't he - Matt Monro, that is! - but I do also think it's sad that so many of the early Corrie characters are leaving/dying. Who will take over their roles as light relief?

[Bobbisox]

theres always fresh young faces coming along, Kevein was a tad naughty, he's looking old now, I remember him with the moustache..ha-ha
