I’m not a big TV watcher and rarely commit to a series as I find the formula approach boring. That said, I have to confess to recently stumbling across Coronation Street on UK TV and, well, I’m now a regular of six week standing. Hey, it’s only 30 minutes a night. What I find interesting is that The Kabin is a focal point on the show. It’s the local newsagency. Every couple of episodes there is a reference to newsagency specific issues. Friday it was scratch tickets and magazine returns. I’d much rather see stories around goings on in a newsagency than a mass merchant focus in a TV soap.
