CORONATION STREET
I grew up watching this show LOL, back in the days of Stan and Hilda Hogdon, Ena Sharples, Bette Lynch. I would not know the characters now haven't watched it in twenty years. It was funny back then. How is it now?

LOL, for some crazy reason I recall an X-Files episode where a farmer answers the door to find FBI agents Skully and Mulder on his porch. Skully identifies herself as "Special Agent for the FBI" and the farmer asks, "is that the Jehovah's Witnesses?" to which she replies, "No, Sir, we are with the FBI." Mulder immediately reaches into his suit blazer pocket as he quips with a hint of sarcasm, "but I can offer you a free issue of the Watchtower."

I was 13 when Coronation Street was first broadcast. My parents had given much prayerful consideration back then as to whether to buy a telly or not, TV was, at the time, considered to be for only weak witnesses.
I switched it on and here's what I saw:
Are these 3 beauties still the main stars?

Fizz (the plump girl with the ginger hair) tells her friend Toya Battersby that her mum used to tell them they were Jehovahs Witnesses so she didn't have to but them Christmas and Birthday presents.
Awww! So they are getting more negative publicity in which it is showing (accurately mind you if you are aware of JW practices and beliefs) that they are CHEAP and PARTY-POOPERS who dont get presents and have parties like everyone else.
Such public service announcements (chuckle) are sure to send kids flocking to the Kingdumb Hall in droves.
