Leonard Cohen on Coronation Street!

[ScottM]

The Tipsy Wife was watching Coronation Street tonight. The ITV soap opera character Peter Barlow was having second thoughts about his wedding tomorrow and having a heart to heart with his new love interest...(why am I even admitting to knowing this?). Anyway,playing in the background was "Night comes on". Might have to pay more attention to the soaps....

LOL... that's great, Scott!

I saw that too and Peter said he was listening to his favourite music! I thought I was hearing things at first, but it goes to show what a cultured programme it really is and I'm proud to watch it

My mum said so! Amazing really. I wonder whose choice it was.

Yes, I couldn't believe it, either. I've read that Chris has spent some time in a Buddhist retreat in Scotland and is going to quit the street because of the stress. Perhaps that's where he got aquainted with our lovely Leonard.

I thought I could hear Leonard in the background thought I was hearing things!

We'd need the name of the episode (or number) for the soundtrack listing at
www.leonardcohenfiles.com/filmo.html
Anybody?

[Goldin]

The number of the episode is #1.8270 (yes, officially it's the 8270th episode of the 1st season, shown just a few days before the 53rd anniversary of Coronation Street).
