Street of shame

I made the mistake of watching Coronation Street on Friday, 5 January and was appalled by the unnecessary levels of violence shown prewatershed; this included the use of a firearm.

What once was a brilliant soap featuring good Northern working-class humour for all the family has now turned into a disgrace not suitable for younger viewers. This is not the first time in recent weeks a number of complaints have been raised. Are producers stone deaf when it comes to viewers’ opinions being voiced very loudly over social media?
