If he's a Doctor Who fan and he hates The Sweeney, what does he think of Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes, which have time-travel elements? Dolmance (talk) 22:56, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Stepping down
OK, so I'm sure the various fora are full of speculation about why Collinson is "taking a holiday", but do we have anything solid besides the official website's statement (which really does sound like they're being polite about something)? We don't want to report rumours here (unless they're repeated somewhere notable, I suppose) but it would be nice to have some more information. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * On the Love & Monsters commentary, he says that Leggat is doing two episodes while he goes on holiday to New York around December time. Angmering 10:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
I can't help but notice that the section criticizing Collinson's use of gay issues in Coronation Street relies entirely on references to conservative Christian groups and the Daily Mail - both sources that are, shall we say, prone to whipping up a moral panic on minimal evidence. Surely there are people who like Collinson's tenure on Coronation Street that can be inserted to counterbalance two agenda-driven sources. 108.213.200.251 (talk) 18:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Clear bias against Collinson's gay-themed storylines on Coronation Street
The only source given for claims that Coronation Street's ratings suffered due to 'too many' gay characters and storylines was two separate Daily Mail articles, one of which was an opinion piece from Brian Sewell - possibly the most notoriously self-loathing homosexual piublic figure of recent years, writing in a famously right-wing, 'political correctness gone MAD!' tabloid. These are clearly biased sources (and the Sewell piece also seems to think that Damon Rochefort, a writer on the show, was a) in charge of casting and b) wrote every single script). I've attempted to bring some sanity to this section. Smurfmeister (talk) 11:38, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
