How could one be subjugated to a soap?
If one is anything like my wife, she's submissive, almost enslaved, if you will, to the whims, trials and tribulations of the good people of <wherever Coronation Street's set>.
I went there on a school trip once. It was very boring (cheer)
Was there a waxwork of Bill Roache?
No British Soaps but the wife does watch "Days of our Lives". I've noticed that you can skip years and still know what's going on with that show. What rubbish!
I remember something similar happening with the Cosby show - the story lines stayed the same, the only way you could distinguish between the series was the age of the child actors.
Yes, well, one friend studied there and one grew up there (both British) and they say it that way.
Bill Roache /is/ the waxwork of Bill Roache! :Y
