No episode Fri 8th due to Rugby World Cup.
Episode shown at 2100 on Thu 7th.
Due to concussion protocol, most teams are playing once a week at
weekends, so the tounament takes nearly 2mths
Therefore expect major Friday disruption for Sep and Oct

Times change I guess :( When I worked at CBC in the mid to late 70s
they loathed to alter the sked for Corrie because the switchboard lit
up like a Christmas tree!
Nowadays it is easier to contact them via the net, there are no
switchboards anymore, so who cares?
Have to admit I watch Corrie a day late, streaming it without ads,
perfection :)
Sorry for all those affected by the RWC :-©

I think it's a case of when you hate ads, you really hate them :) For
me that's the case and a half hour Corrie has two ad breaks in it if
watched live. I find that too disruptive and these days we have
choices thank goodness!
