Word on the street (as the saying goes) is that Coronation Street is looking for a new scriptwriter with the ability to write comedy as the show moves away from dark storylines towards a brighter and funnier future.
New producer Iain MacLeod wants lighter plots and funnier scripts following the departure of previous producer Kate Oates who recently stepped outside saying she may be gone for some time.
And how does one get to do this? Any links? Any info?
I'd rather write, and for that matter watch, Sesame Street.
It's easy to write for Corrie. You just list a bunch of clichés and overused metaphors.
Ken: It's raining cats and dogs out there
Deirdre: it's just a drop in t'ocean chuck
Steve: Chance'll be a fine thing
Gail: If I had a penny for every time someone said that.
Peggy: Get out of my pub.
No
Well I don't really know.

Before anybody points out any faults with the above address, I would like to say two things: firstly, this is a comedy forum and secondly, I bet you anything you like your letter will reach his desk.
