Talk:Coronation Street Live (2010 episode)

Anniversay Week?
I think the page should be on the 50TH Anniversay Week! Since the main action happened around the whole week not just this episodes. I take this for Eastenders wikipedia page "Queen Vic Fire Week" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.136.82 (talk) 07:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * User:Frickative was working on an article for the entire week in her userspace but since this was created she kind of gave up. It even has a name "Four Funerals and a Wedding". Anemone  Projectors  12:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * She shouldn't abandon it. I found this article by chance and expanded it because I'd written one for the 40th anniversary last year, but an article covering the whole week would be useful since there were several events to mark the anniversary. I don't really watch the series much these days, so am not overly familiar with everything, but I hope someone works on it. Cheers. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

First computer generated imagery on live television
If this is considered to be dubious, I suppose the way around it might be to say something like "According to Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy the episode was the first live television to feature computer generated imagery". What do others think? TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes that would be better. Anemone  Projectors  21:29, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool, I'll leave it for a day or two then I might make some slight adjustments to it over the weekend. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:25, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Phil Collinson also made the first claim in that video on itv.com. Thinking about it, though, news and weather have had live CGI for years. The author/producer perhaps should have mentioned "first in a drama". I wonder if a reviewer picked up on the distinction? The JPS talk to me  19:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant to take a look at this, but have been away for the past week for personal reasons. I haven't forgotten it though so will attempt to reword it if it hasn't been done. TheRetroGuy (talk) 16:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Not the first time EastEnders has paid tribute to The Street
That actually happened on Christmas Day 1987 at Pete Beale's flat. Several of the characters are playing charades when Den Watts calls to offer everyone Season's Greetings. He is persuaded to join in and chooses a television programme, which turns out to be Coronatio Street. If we could find a reference to back this up then it might be interesting to add it.

 * Found this which makes reference to it. As Hilda Ogden left The Street at that time I'm guessing it was by way of tribute to her, but am really not certain. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a reliable source though since the blog is written by fans and that particular information comes from an anonymous person in the comments. – Anemone Projectors – 21:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I don't see what relevance it has to the article. It was only a small reference rather than a tribute. Corrie could also have been mentioned again after that, but it's been missed because it was in a less prominent episode. Ooh, Fruity   @  Ooh, Chatty  21:56, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * It could be relevant if we can determine how often something like that happens. I have a feeling it's quite rare, particularly as they're produced for rival channels. Certainly it's not a common occurrance. It's a pity the ref prvided doesn't link to the Guardian website as that might provide more information. I might go searching for it tomorrow. Meanwhile, I've asked the refdesk for information on the 1987 stuff, more out of curiosity than anything else. TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Updated thoughts on this. Not sure it has relevance to the article itself, as stated above, but it may be worth mentioning somewhere within the Coronation Street pages. It would have been quite unusual in 1987 for a BBC programme to pay tribute to one from a rival network, so if there is a reference out there, great stuff. If it was a tribute to Hilda Ogden it could even be mentioned at 1987 in British television. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:05, 24 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Just Googled it, but nothing jumps out at me. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:13, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
