Bob gets yet another mention...

Charlie to Maria 'get Bob Geldof on the phone right now'
Maria 'why?'
Charlie 'I can't think of any reason not to like Mondays'...

Someone amongst the scriptwriters or crew is a fan of Bob Geldof

I have emailed them to ask. Might as well know once and for all.

I think that Charlie might be a Boomtown Rat.  A few months ago Rattrap was playing in his office.  i thought it was the radio at the time but possibly a cd or tape!!!!  Now with this mention of Mondays I'm starting to wonder.  as he's a builder i'm sure that he would have had a bit of paste lying around to have pasted that Bob Geldof poster up on the wall.  Age-wise I'd guess he's about 36-38 so would be of the age range to have done the Rat.

No the song was playing in the garage too, so it was a radio. How sad am I?

Hi Irene
Thank you for your e-mail. I've asked around to see if there is a concerted plan to promote the Boomtown Rats on Coronation Street and the answer seems to be no! It just happens to a string of happy coincidents!
Best wishes

Someone MUST like them, even if it is a 'subconscious' act. They wouldn't keep having them on there so frequently if not! More of it, I say.

Maybe its because WE like Bob so much we keep picking up on it I LOVE Corrie but I'm not impressed with the Jamie/Frankie storyline

That story is a bit sick, I have to agree. Even though there isn't a huge age difference between them she's brought them up as though they were her own. It's sick.

I did reply to him, suggesting we could have Bob drinking in the Rovers one night. We know he watches Corrie, as he has mentioned it a couple of times on stage. Well, they have had Status Quo and Cliff Richard, so why not Bob?

He could be calling by to have a pint after his talk in Manchester, thought he might not get spotted in a back street pub, but...

I seem to recall something from Is That It? - about you know you're really famous when you are mentioned on Coronation Street. Is that right? Did he say that? Well he knows he's really, really, really famous now then.

Yes he did say that in his book. I remember when I read it it made me smile

All the soaps seem to be playing Razorlight at the minute. Good choice

The piece that Bob refers to in his book I vaguely remember.  It was probably from the very early eighties.  Rita Sullivan was looking after a foster child (from what I can remember) and I think there was a reference to the Boomtown Rats playing a concert somewhere locally that evening.


I know that I definitely saw the episode as started watching Coronation Street and listening to the Rats around the same sort of time (October/November 1978).
