Nightmare on Coronation Street

Corrie's record collecting cab driver Lloyd is in big trouble. He is known to be a soul fan, with references to northern soul classics by the likes of Gene Chandler in previous episodes. But now his valuable collection is under threat from his ex, Rover's Return landlady Liz, who is upset by his latest liaison with the Street slag Teresa. First, Liz puts a pile of Lloyd's precious singles in his oven and they bend and warp. Then, while he is in the street outside the pub, she starts throwing his records out of the upstairs window: Buddy Ace, Archie Bell and the Drells... And the programme ends with Lloyd in even more trouble - on his knees as though he is proposing to Teresa while Liz looks on. Lloyd's record collection is worth a lot more to him than any woman, so he had better be ready for the worst that life can bring.
