Can you pinpoint the exact second you realised that last night’s Coronation Street was going to be the best soap episode ever?

For us, it was when we realised that Richard planned to gas himself, Gail and the kids to death to a soundtrack of the You And Me Song by (wait for it) The Wannadies.

And how brilliant was that underwater stuff? Awards all round, we think.

The TV drama was shocking enough, but there was much more to come this morning, as anyone who bought the Daily Star will know.

If anyone had told you this time last year that topless pictures of Helen Worth, alias Gail, would be splashed across two pages of a tabloid newspaper, you would probably have laughed in their face, and then been sick.

But there they were, in full glorious colour. We will never see their like again (hopefully).

lowculture has had a smashing day going round the office flashing the pictures at people and watching the look of horror spread across their faces – that’s got to be worth 25p of anyone’s money.

Monday’s Coronation Street double-whammy was every bit as fantastic as we had hoped, but there’s one little thing that’s bothering us.

The producers are adamant that they’ve filmed four possible endings to the Richard Hillman story.

Yeah, right. We get this load of old toss every single time there’s a major soap storyline in the offing, and after the episodes in question have been aired, the mysterious ‘other endings’ are never mentioned again.

If that fancy people carrier isn’t spashing into the Weatherfield canal come Monday, March 12, we’ll eat our hat (and to do that, we would actually have to go out and buy a hat).
