As the Coronation Street TV Serial is reputedly based on everyday life in Salford, its treatment of the family is of interest.
So far, it has done us reasonably well - in the form of a reference to Detective Sergeant Shorrocks (1963). I'm not completely sure though whether grandfather Harry Shorrocks was on the same side of the law!
Incidentally, the Nadine Street house with the purple door is the one that Harry left around 1905!
Coronation Street: Mon 29 Apr, 1963 - EPISODE SYNOPSIS
Det. Sgt. Shorrocks of the CID interviews Emily and Doreen. They are reluctant to give a description of the good looking robber. Ken suspects Frank of being up to something. Mavis calls at No.11 to visit Dennis' grandmother. Elsie plays along as the cleaner. Papagopolous is pleased that the stock was stolen as it was old stock that couldn't sell and was insured. Elsie demands that Dennis tells Mavis the truth. Frank tells Ken he plans to leave the GPO and buy a DIY shop. Dennis can't bring himself to tell Mavis.
