Doctor Who Vs. Coronation Street @ 65, Part 13: 2004-2006

Walsh was announced as Graham
O'Brien in October 2017

The Street's producer Kieran

Roberts bowed out in early 2004,

and was replaced by Tony Wood,

whilst Carolyn Reynolds remained executive producer. Roberts returned (as new exec) in early 2006 when Steve Frost took over

 from Wood.

Schedule changes due to cover-

age of Euro 2004 matches

resulted in the broadcast of

three episodes of the soap on

the same day for the first time

in May. In late November that

 year, eight instalments were

shown over five consecutive

nights. 2004 also saw the

closure of ITV's cable channel, Granada Plus which had repeated vintage

Corrie. By the end of 2005, the show had enjoyed its best viewing figures

since 1993.
