    How far behind is Canada (in the Corrie viewing sense, not in general!)
    so I can discuss this week's events?

    Last night (I'm up to date) I saw the one where Kelly told Abbie that
    she is paying for the lawyer and Abbie told her she gave the man money
    but didn't get drugs from him.

    And we know she didn't because we saw the transaction. But it has set in train a set of unfortunate events. Enjoy.:-)


    Fine by me if you put SNUK

    BTW has anyone heard anything about or from David?

    Not a peep.

    No. Contacted him directly on both email addresses that I have for him but nothing.

    And given what week it is, I think he'd have been in touch if he was
    capable.

    I remember how delighted he was when I sent him a scanned copy of a deed
    signed by HM (she was selling a piece of land for housing, and personally signed the planning agreement)

    Yes, I gathered he was in a care home, he said he had a patch where he
    missed some Corrie because he wasn't organised when he first went in.
    Hopefully it's just that he can't do usenet anymore.

    In the late 1990's I used to play online bridge at MSN Zone, then
    Gates bought it and cut the Zone. He had just learned to play and was
    putting a new system online.

    Some of us were very upset, we had become friends etc. I was
    particularly friendly with a person in Edmonton, Alberta and knew she
    was in a nursing home etc. She suddenly died but I had an email from
    her lawyer saying she wanted me to be informed if the worst happened
    and to say good bye! I thought it made a lot of sense so my
    daughters know in my address book there is a folder marked to tell
    people in it if I croak. They are all people my kids don't know, so
    it will just take a quick one liner and copy all!

    Being spiteful, I was very pleased when Gates hired a top player to
    play with him at the Montreal tournament and they came last :)

    That's a good idea. Years ago I was posting in a newsgroup tied atthe ime to a particular broadband provider, and we posters were close too. One disappeared. As it happened I had exchanged the odd email with her over time and I emailed both the addresses I had for her. It was some time later but I received a reply
    from her partner eventually saying she had died. It is better to know, isn't it.

    LOL!

    As of June 3 we are 19 episodes behind - more than three weeks!
    The CBC has been lax in keeping up with the extra episodes ITV throws in every now and then.
    If anyone at the CBC reads this - how about a few weeks of 10 episodes a week so we can catch up?
    It would be great to be only one week behind. Please!

    Marvin Kaplansky

    Have you tried phoning your local CBC? I know CBC always felt it was
    a pain to jiggle Corrie as the switchboard, back then, would like up.
    Now they are beginning to think that at last they can ignore Corrie,
    so call, so they know we Corrie followers are still there, I always
    do!! Let them know we haven't all died off :-)

    Last week was 5 half hour episodes rather than 3 hour long ones. That might help
    the catch up a little.

    Reading what Marvin said, again, how to they show it? A few weeks ago we had a schedule change and instead of 6 half hour shows, shown as 2 on 3 days with a half our break in between ( with sometimes, one day running them together), we now have 3 hour long ones. Three weeks behind would only be 11 episodes now - 6
    hour long for 2 weeks, and 5 half hours for BGT week.

    That might complicate things one way or another.

    I'm in NS and times could vary across the country, we normally have
    one half hour Mon/Thrs and 1 hour on Fridays. All episodes are rerun
    early Sunday morning.

    At the moment it's hockey playoff time so they show it at 2 in the
    afternoon and I simply stream it at the normal time for me, after the
    six o'clock news :)

    Have you tried phoning your local CBC? I know CBC always felt it was
    a pain to jiggle Corrie as the switchboard, back then, would like up.
    Now they are beginning to think that at last they can ignore Corrie,
    so call, so they know we Corrie followers are still there, I always
    do!! Let them know we haven't all died off :-)

    Reading what Marvin said, again, how to they show it? A few weeks ago we had a
    schedule change and instead of 6 half hour shows, shown as 2 on 3 days with a
    half our break in between ( with sometimes, one day running them together), we
    now have 3 hour long ones. Three weeks behind would only be 11 episodes now - 6
    hour long for 2 weeks, and 5 half hours for BGT week.

    That might complicate things one way or another.

    I'm in NS and times could vary across the country, we normally have
    one half hour Mon/Thrs and 1 hour on Fridays. All episodes are rerun
    early Sunday morning.

    At the moment it's hockey playoff time so they show it at 2 in the
    afternoon and I simply stream it at the normal time for me, after the
    six o'clock news :)

    *Ice* hockey. :-)

    Lol now come on, you KNOW there is only ice hockey in Canada lol

    As of June 3 we are 19 episodes behind - more than three weeks!
    The CBC has been lax in keeping up with the extra episodes ITV throws in every now and then.
    If anyone at the CBC reads this - how about a few weeks of 10 episodes a week so we can catch up?

    I wonder - do they split the hour long episodes in half now? Sunday will be fine.:-) On the other hand - when you get to our last week there won't be enough
    for an hour on Friday!

    I'm not sure, but I think they introduced the hour on Friday in order
    to try and catch up a bit. I watch half an hour then the other half
    either Saturday or Sunday to break up the weekend :) Presumably if
    we did catch up, they'd drop the extra half hour.

    Couldn't resist! It's a long-running gag that goes way back to the days
    when this group was frequented by the likes of Enzo Matrix, Josef from
    Germany, Mary-Sue and RKatherine from Canada and Kiwi Gill - I forget
    where she was from! Lost touch with all of them except the Canadian
    ladies who are on Facebook.

    No - the CBC moved to six episodes at the same time ITV moved to six
    episodes in order to maintain roughly the same distance.

    The CBC will NEVER "catch up", nor should they. But they should get
    a bit closer, as they are now about three weeks behind. Being one
    week behind is likely as close as they can get for practical purposes.

    Since ITV broadcasts two half-hour episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the CBC broadcasts one from Monday to Thursday plus two on Fridays, there must be a little buffer room for schedule changes that
    come up on ITV. Such changes would have the CBC get closer by an episode
    or two for a short period and then slip back to where they were when
    ITV makes up for the changes.

    Which reminds me, will ITV be airing a "make up" episode for the BGT
    week a couple of weeks ago when they only ran five half-hour episodes?
    For now, that has made the CBC one episode closer to ITV airngs (small difference, but it is one episode).

    There was a point in the past year where the CBC was exactly one week
    behind the ITV broadcasts, which is possibly as close as they can get
    since the CBC airs single half hours on Mondays to Thursdays and two
    on Fridays. Any closer and the CBC risks not having an episode to air
    on the occasion when ITV changes their schedule around for other
    programming, such as the BGT finals a couple of weeks ago.

    That explains it, I thought I remembered them 'catching up' at some
    point.

    On the webpage I manage to provide the latest episodes for those in
    Canada who don't want to wait, I maintain episodes from the most recent
    ITV airing all the way to what the CBC aired one week ago. As of today
    (June 11) that means ITV broadcasts from May 11 to June 10. The May 11 >episode Just aired on the CBC on June 3 (a week ago), and the June 10
    episode won't air on the CBC until July 1 (second episode) and July 4,
    unless something changes with the CBC's schedule and I have to update
    the airing dates on the site.

    Anyone wanting the URL of the site can send me an email, as I don't
    post it. If you missed an earlier episode, I can restore it to the
    site for a few days.

    It's a kind offer thank you but I simply stream the episodes on Gem as
    they happen - during the hockey they air Corrie at 2pm so I simply
    pick it up as usual at 7pm. Worked well during this, seems overly
    long, hockey play off :(

    FWIW it's a one-hour episode each time, not two half-hours with a break

    Nor is it 2 half hour episodes with no break ( other than ads ).

    Yes, though the CBC broadcasts on Mondays to Thursdays are done as
    if they are half-hour episodes with an opening and closing credits.

    My site indicates that ITV usually broadcasts three hour-long episodes
    per week (unless otherwise noted as with the week of five half-hour
    episodes).
