Conversation Street

It's Listener Question time again! This time, we're chatting about two topics very dear to our hearts: Gladiators and Coronation Street beating EastEnders. Well, maybe not beating them per se, more like completely ripping them off in the hope that Corrie will get some of the buzz that the women of Walford got at the height of The Six storyline last year, as we try and pick half a dozen Corrie ladies who we'd want to put front and centre of the show in 2023 in their very own murder mystery plot. And as for the Gladiators part? Well that's just us having fun trying to come up with Gladiator names that we'd give our favourite Corrie characters if they were to don a spandex leotard for an evening and bash each other about with a pugil stick - or at least a roll of fabric from the factory. We reckon we actually came up with some good ideas for that one, but as always, we'd love to hear your own suggestions, so do write in and let us know if you have any!
