Who Stole Derek Wilton’s Gnome?
Arthur's Gone!
In 1995 Derek Wilton was the proud owner of two garden gnomes, Arthur and Guinevere, but was mystified when Arthur went missing and sent him postcards from his travels.
Ransom Demand
Derek was then sent a severed gnome's ear along with a ransom note for fifty chocolate coins. He lay in wait for the culprit but was arrested by the police on suspicion of being a peeping Tom.

“Good Looks Are a Curse”
Blanche Hunt was one of Coronation Street's iconic characters. She was an old battle-axe who rarely had a kind word to say to, or about, anybody. Yet she became one of the most loved characters on the show.
One of Blanche's most memorable quotes has been immortalized on this 50th Anniversary commemorative mug:
"Good looks are a curse Deirdre. You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky."
Corrie fans everywhere are buying this mug, and other Corrie famous quote mugs, to forever remember the Corrie characters who have touched our hearts over the decades.

Issue #0037 Canadians Created Corrie
Canadians Created Corrie Canadian fans be proud – be very, very proud. When ITV’s Granada Studio was created in 1956, network executives wanted to be very different to rival network the BBC.
