Granada Studios Tours

...took a visit to the Granada Studios Coronation Street Experience and it was an experience in itself. I watch Coronation street on and off depending on what th estory line is at the present time. I would not say I was an avid fan but do tend to get involved with the stories now and again. The studio visit is a must see and although you can wander around the studio on your own there are parts which are guided. The inside, the make up department and ...
...look through the letterboxes and the rovers return is open for a drink, although the interior of this rovers return is not the one actually used for filming th eoutside is! Not open on mondays, as this is the day they do the outside filming. There are usually one or two, sometimes more if you are lucky of the sets stars walking around for a picture take and autograph signing. On the day we went we met Liz, Ken and Reg!!! 2 of these characters have ...

Review of Granada Studios Tours

Granada Studios is advertised as a top attraction and appears to be very popular if the number of people who go there are anything to judge by. But the numbers are swollen by coachloads of day trippers who, presumably, buy a packaged day out. But does it provide good value for money? It certainly is very expensive if you are taking a family and no doubt many are attracted to the site solely because they want to see Coronation Street at first hand. ...
...greatly disappointed because it is quite small and the Rovers Return is not quite what it seems. There are other exhibits but I did not feel they matched up to the hype of the 'tour'. As a day out I felt it was OK and perhaps there was something for adults and children but I came away disappointed. I think it boiled down to cost. Very pricey for what you get but if you can get hold of some cheap tickets, which are on offer from time to time, then ...

Review of Granada Studios Tours

...on a school trip to Granada Studios. Between 1989 and 1999 you could visit the set. In 1999 the exterior set was extended and updated to include more of Rosamund Street. The majority of the interior scenes are shot in a purpose-built studio (you used to be able to see this aswell) Corrie is on on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday night at 7.30 (there is also another episode on usually at 8.30 Monday) Programme --------------- I have grown up watching ...
...on TV. The cast and stroylines are second to none. There must be at least 50 times more laughs per programme than Eastenders and Emmerdale put together. Characters ------------- My favourite characters are Becky and Ashley as the have some very funny lines. All the characters are excellent actors and are well scripted and chosen. ...

Review of Granada Studios Tours

...Manchester is also home to Granada Television, and perhaps one of the most popular attractions is the Granada studios tour, where you can have a look through the Rovers Return amongst other things. A mini version of Universal studios in America if you like. Other attractions include the G-Mex centre for exhibitions and the impressive Bridgewater Hall used for conferences and musical events. All very exciting in this fast changing city. ...
