Doctor Who Vs. Coronation Street @ 65, Part 9: 1983-1989

The Street's longest-serving producer, Bill Podmore,

stood down in late 1982, just as

the new edgy, soap opera Brookside launched

on the fledgling Channel 4. Although the rival

show never matched Corrie in popularity or

ratings, the Liverpool-based series did make 

the Street appear dated again.

Mervyn Watson's producership would result

in much behind-the-scenes turmoil, but the

Deirdre Barlow and Mike Baldwin affair story-

line proved to be the most successful to date.

By 1985, many of the programme's core cast

had left, including all of the original cast (bar

William Roache), then the BBC launched its

own flagship serial drama, the twice-weekly

EastEnders. Despite retaining its audience,

Corrie was accused of being old fashioned

yet again, and another new producer, John

Temple, oversaw a makeover.

The return of Podmore for a third and final 

stint as producer in 1987 led to even more 

changes, and the most significant additions to the show came in 1989

with the introduction of a third episode then an omnibus edition. As

the decade ended, Corrie was back at its peak with viewers and critics

alike. The death of Alan Bradley (Mark Eden) in December 1989 was

seen by almost 27 million viewers, the highest ever figure for the

soap, and still the ninth most watched UK broadcast in TV history.

These seven years on the Street featured David Brierly, and a total

of thirty-three Doctor Who cast and crew connections:

• [Robert] Micheal Bilton (Pearson) was Charles de Teligny in The Massacre, Collins in Pyramids of Mars, and Time Lord in The Deadly Assassin
