Coronation Street Symbolism

Received the following e-mail from a friend of mine from South Manchester.  I don't actually watch much TV and especially not soaps, but this missive from Mise is very interesting and well worth looking into.

Dear Sam


I have been noticing some interesting things with Coronation Street recently. I'm aware that much of you blog deals with symbolism, and I'm aware that quite a bit of this symbolism is Egyptian in origin.

If you watch Coronation St you will notice a large picture of an Egyptian Goddess (not sure which one) in the backroom of the Rovers Returns. This picture is often in the background (close-up) of a lot of the scenes which take place in this room.

I recently passed the entrance gates of Granada Studios in Manchester (makers of Coronation St) and was amazed of the degree of Egyptian and illuminati symbolism on the entrance facade. It's worth getting a few photos on your blog of this. Unfortunately I did not have my camera at the time and was on a sponsored walk so I have no idea what street this is on. The whole entrance looks like the entrance to an Egyptian tomb.

More disturbingly, when watching this weeks 'tram crash' episodes I noticed something very interesting on Monday night (6th December). In the second episode of the night (8:30pm) there are the scenes of gas explosion at the bar under the viaduct. At 18mins 57secs in to this episode (you can probably view on line or on catch-up TV if you have digital) the character Kieran is standing up after been blown to the floor from the explosion. As he stands up, surrounding by flames and rubble, in front of him on a triangle shaped bit of broken wood is a skull with horns on it. The camera pans passed it for a few seconds. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I've double checked a few times on the 'catch-up TV' and it's definitely there. Immediately the mythological figure of Molloch came to mind. This is worth checking out if you can.

Trafford Centre extras...

Yet another pride of Lions lining one of the exits to the TC. This is Sun symbolism again, but why they should have the male lions at the front entrance and females towards the rear is anyone's guess...mark my words, there'll be a reason for it though.
