When did Corrie get experimental?

I haven't watched in about 20 years but just recently have been catching up (watching what's on ITVX, so from 2023) and noticed there's quite a few experimental episodes—e.g. a Todd/Theo episode where it's filmed through various cameras, a David/Shona episode that shows the same events with each of them narrating.

Is my memory wonky and they've always done this, or is it a more recent thing?

Loose tankini recommendations? (UK)

I'm a 36JJ(UK) and usually wear a Panache tankini with a built-in bra since I need the support haha. atm though I've got a broken shoulder so it's not an option.

Can anyone recommend tankinis that work for larger busts but with no/minimal support? I could probably manage to get into one of those ones with an elasticated bust area as long as it's not too tight. Looking for absolutely no padding and no designated boob cups.

Usual size is UK 20/US 16 but I'll probably go up a couple of sizes—again, the key thing is for it to be loose enough that I can pull it on and off one-handed without too much difficulty.

What's your go-to sausage?

My local butcher closed down a couple of years ago and I swear I've been through about twenty different sausages trying to find something half as good.

What's your fail safe sausage, either from a supermarket or online? Skinny sausages would be a bonus. I have a hankering for sausage and mash but can't deal with disappointment...

Looking for swimwear suggestions.

I hope this is the right place to ask this!

I'm plus-sized and my staple swimwear is usually a tankini top with built-in bra paired with swim shorts.

Unfortunately I've broken my shoulder and need to find an alternative. I was thinking men's board shorts (loose, can be pulled up/down with one hand) and a bra-sized bikini top (I've got a thingumy to put bras one one-handed). The problem is this leaves my belly exposed, which I'm uncomfortable with.

The only possible solutions I can find are the skin-tight swim shirts and swim dresses, neither of which I can get in and out of. I know I can get a cover-up for around the pool but I'd like something I can actually wear while swimming.

I guess what I'm looking for is a swim dress but only the top part so I can wear it over my board shorts and bikini top. What do I need to be searching for, if such a thing exists?

... only to realise it's already at full volume?

I feel very dissatisfied. I'll have to start singing along to fill the volume void at this rate—and nobody wants that, do they?

Bloods are suddenly off the charts despite no change in routine, and resting heart rate is 125bpm. Doc tried to send me to hospital but I've resisted.

It was always going to happen; my cirrhosis was so advanced by the time they caught it that liver failure was inevitable even if I never touched another drop.

So, if this is the beginning of the end... Chairs?

Good night's sleep. Got some decent food down. Managed to get the shitty jobs out of the way. You're getting on top of the housework. You've even learned this new fucking stupid method of long division.

Hallucinating's over. Shakes are over. Sweating's over. Puking's over. Abdominal pain's over. You've even stopped shitting blood for the first time in six months.

So you're feeling goooood and you're on track for just ten units today and nothing tomorrow. But then the sun comes out and Mr Blue Sky comes on your random playlist and you just think... What harm would another couple do, eh?

I think this was a movie, but it may possibly have been a show. 99% sure it's live action. Probably 00s at the latest, likely earlier.

A man is speaking to another guy (maybe two guys?) all amiable, "Look, just tell me what happened, no one's going to get angry." Then after they fess up, he switches and shouts, "WELL NOW I'M REALLY [FUCKING?] ANGRY!"
