Millions follow Coronation Street and millions of
computer widows watch it while their husbands are playing with their
Atari but here is a chance to bring everyone together with a mint
adventure and lots of trivia info concerning the show. Let's start with
the trivia which comes in three sections. In the first you have the
complete cast of the series since 1960 with all the characters and the
actors who have played them. See how many you can remember. The next
section shows you who lived where and when with potted histories of the
houses, shops and pubs. Bet you cart remember all of the bar maids in
the Rovers Return? There is also a summary of the residents who have
been in trouble with the law over the years. The final section has
street maps of Weatherfield so you can identify exactly where everyone
lives and where they go to work and play. The mini adventure is called
Stan's Dilemma, set in 1983, on a rare occasion when Stan pulls himself
away from the Rovers Return. Your good wife, Hilda, has won a food
voucher in a competition and intends to use it to pay off her debts at
the corner shop. Trouble is Stan's a bit skint at the moment and the
Rovers is just about to open. All he needs is the price of a pint but
Hilda's gone and spent all the money on silly things like food and rent!
Still there is the voucher and if he can get it without Hilda noticing
maybe he can exchange it for some cash. But who is going to cash it for
him? Your job is to help Stan cash the voucher, while avoiding Hilda who
is on the warpath. Can you get down the Rovers before closing time to
meet your mates? Several years watching the series will be of great help
in this adventure!
