Hope springs eternal for revenge on murder
IN TONIGHT’S CORONATION STREET (VIRGIN MEDIA ONE, 8PM) Hope confides in Sam how she intends to have her revenge for Cilla’s murder and needs his help.
In the factory, Beth tells Fiz she’s sorry about Cilla, but at the end of the day, she was only a posh rat.
Fiz is incensed and Carla has to step in before a fight breaks out.
Meanwhile, on Hope’s instructions, Sam reluctantly cons Maria into handing over wedding through her social marketing.
At Daisy’s request, Daniel calls at Preston’s Petals and asks Tracy if she’ll provide the wedding flowers free of charge.
Tracy’s seriously unimpressed. As is Christina when Daisy shows her a photo of the freebie wedding dress she’s managed to bag herself.
When Daisy receives several messages on her phone from Justin asking why she blocked him she deletes them, clearly worried.
in which humanity appears utterly powerless before the might of an extraterrestrial attack.
Can one man keep his family safe against all the odds?
Ray Ferrier (Cruise) works a crane at the docks, spending his days looking down at freight containers in the same way that, the spoken prologue informs us, vast alien intelligences have been looking down at the Earth for centuries.
Ray’s pretty irresponsible. He drives a muscle car dangerously home from work to turn up 30 minutes late for his kids, who are coming to stay with him.

He mocks their stepfather’s car for being safe. So that’s Ray.
His kids are Rachel (Fanning) and Robbie (Justin Chatwin).
Then aliens start coming down from the sky in lightning bolts and taking their positions in humongous tripod machines that they buried around our planet centuries before.
It’s an invasion. A global catastrophe that threatens humanity’s grip over the world. But can Ray keep his kids safe?
