The Road to Weatherfield
DID YOU HEAR about the theatrical digs landlady who thought the best way to prepare fillet steak was to boil it? Or the local rep company who put on Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as a Christmas treat for its loyal audience with a cast of eight? Both are featured in The Road to Weatherfield by former Coronation Street scriptwriter Barry Hill Granada Television, one of the pioneers of independent television broadcasting in this country, had occupied its Quay Street studios in Manchester for almost 60 years before its move to new purpose-built, state of the art headquarters at Media City, Salford. The Road to Weatherfield recalls the entertainment scene over the previous six decades from the beginning of the 20th century when music hall reigned and at the world of the entertainers who made their name through radio, film, variety and rep.

And the author’s own experiences over almost three decades of writing for Corrie, the world’s most successful television drama serial.
Epic / everyday
An exciting new strand in The Television Series, the ‘Moments in Television’ collections celebrate the power and artistry of television, whilst interrogating key critical concepts in television scholarship. Each ‘Moments’ book is organised around a provocative binary theme. Epic / everyday explores the presence within television of the epic and the everyday.

Sustained, detailed programme analyses are sensitively framed within historical, technological, institutional, cultural, creative and art-historical contexts.

Not a Day Goes By
John “Basil” Henderson has always played the field, both as a professional football player and as an equal opportunity lover. After retiring his jersey for a career as a sports agent, the dashing playboy is surprising everyone—including himself—by deciding to settle down and commit to his new love, Yancey Harrington Braxton. A fiercely driven Broadway star on the rise, blessed with beauty, charm, and a fondness for the finer things in life, she appears to be his ideal mate. A lavish wedding is planned, but just before the nuptials, fate and a little comeuppance threaten the happy couple’s future. Charged with narrative exuberance and sumptuous detail, Not a Day Goes By proves that nobody spins a sexy urban love story like E. Lynn Harris.
