Some sensitive and nuanced acting by Daniel and Sinead . Beth too .
Surprised to see that Harvey Weinstein is still getting work but Michelle saw through his dastardly plan . And possibly his dressing gown , or 'robe' as Michelle so irritatingly termed it. . Which is fine in Alberquerque or Abilene , but not Weatherfield

He's there so much I'm amazed even I haven't seen him heading down the A500
Sorry I must have missed why Robert keeps "going to Stoke". I know Michelle is thick but even she must need a reason he is always going there. Must be a crap journey in a van. Why doesn't he put some miles on the "Corrie DB7"?iandc said:

IIRC it's some sort of offender rehab centre he pretends to visit ... other folks he's supposed to be helping like he did with Tyler.iandc said:

Why doesn't he put some miles on the "Corrie DB7"?Robert isn't going to Stoke. It's a cover story which supposes he's attending to young offenders' problems. He's actually shacking up with Vicky.
My TV guide has annoyed me by revealing a new plotline. Yet again the writers are being all "on trend" and indeed the plot will be about something which is big news at the moment. However, I'd rather not have known. Thanks a bunch.

My iPad’s ‘news’ section has revealed spoilers too. ![mad](/inc/images/mad.gif)

Exactly lol. We'd all miss it and for all its many faults, at least it's not eastenders..
+1 Its also means this is one of the best threads on PH. The moans and checks on continuity etc. are a real laugh. I really don't think many of us think it is a docudrama or has any relationship whatsoever with real life. Time to chill!coppice said:

In September 1966 Triumph upgraded the engine to 1998 cc, in line with the new Triumph GT6 coupé, and relaunched the car as the Vitesse 2-Litre. Power was increased to 95 bhp (71 kW), endowing the new car with a claimed 0–60 mph time of just under 12 s, and lifting top speed to 104 mph. (The 2-Litre was advertised by Triumph as "The Two Seater Beater"). The performance increase was welcome, but it highlighted the deficiencies of the rear suspension. Other detail modifications for the 2-litre, included a stronger clutch, all synchromesh gearbox, larger front brakes (still without a servo), and a stronger differential with a slightly higher 3.89:1 ratio. Wider & stronger 4.5-inch wheel rims were fitted, but radial-ply tyres were still optional, at extra cost. There was a satin silver anodised aluminium-alloy cowling above the new reversing light, and badges on the side of the bonnet and in the centre of the grille read 2 litre. The Vitesse boot badge was retained as italic script but lost the 6 of the earlier model - replacing that with the rectangular 2 litre badge and with a chrome strip underlining the Vitesse badge. Cars with overdrive had a separate badge on the cowling above the number plate/reversing light. Inside the car, the seats were greatly improved, with softer (more plush) covering and a better back-rest shape which slightly improved rear-seat knee-room. A new leather-covered three-spoke steering wheel was also added.
