Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 The plane crash was/is Emmerdale's defining moment. Surprised to see it there. And The Dog Fire was epic for Hollyoaks, surprised to see that too. I think this person has a hatred for those shows. Not surprised they used something from 2004 from EastEnders and late 70's for Corrie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I don't think the word "worst" implies a bad review in this particular case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm not sure worst applies to the horrid writing, but more like biggest disasters kind of thing. Dunno. Looking at these, two things: the Vic fire will be collecting dust in two days and Bryan Kirkwood should be banned from doing fires for the rest of his career.

Members DRW50 Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 The Vic fire was actually pretty different from the Dog fire. Fires are very common -- they go back to Crossroads in 1981 or so. Then Corrie and the Rovers being torched by bad wiring (1986 or so). Hollyoaks is having another one later this month. Emmerdale's plane crash was a huge game-changer and devastated many lives with consequences that went on for years and years. It was also very stark -- I still remember scenes like Kim Tate watching in despair as her beloved horses were burned alive. One Emmerdale disaster which doesn't get as much attention but was pretty good was the 2004 storm which killed Tricia Dingle and injured several others. Poor Ashley almost bleeding to death in his car... Corrie's tram crash in 1968 was riveting. They didn't actually kill any characters that viewers knew, but by letting us see the reactions of the main characters and the grieving of those who had lost their loved ones, they made us care.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I didn't read the article, just read what they listed. EastEnders had to get rid of the Vic to rebuild it for the transition to HD, hence why it was burnt. The circumstances were completely different from the pub fire on Hollyoaks.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I wonder how that looked with 1968 production values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I know, but if we see a third fire, it'll just be too much. Think of something else, BK. It was a very good fire, but one can't say there were no other ways to dismantle it. I wonder how old Carl is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well, it also served as a catalyst to get Peggy Mitchell to leave the show. All her memories and the thing she loved the most were gone and there's nothing left for her in her mind. I don't think they'll be doing another fire anytime soon. I think Carl just does his research very thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 The clips are out there of some 60s Corrie. The production values weren't great but then I find a lot of drama of that time is effective no matter what the budget. Sometimes less money means more focus on emotions and atmosphere. It's one of the reasons I am enthralled by the early Hartnell stories on Doctor Who). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 10, 2010 Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 Another Corrie disaster was the 1969 coach crash. This was supposed to be broadcast in color, but it was too complicated, so the lovely tour of the countryside and the crash were filmed in black and white, and the hospital scenes the next day were shown in color.

Members Sylph Posted September 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2010 I thought so too, but then he mentioned the emotions and I was like: He must've seen it then. How I never thought of YouTube is beyond me... And there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dion Posted September 11, 2010 Members Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yeah such a shame the location shoot in colour didn't work out and the first ever Corrie scene in colour endedup being Hilda Ogden walking around the hospital all bloody and bruised!
