Former Doctor Who series producer Phil Collinson is to join ITV Studios as the new producer of Coronation Street. Collinson, who takes up the post in March, replaces Kim Crowther (pictured), who is leaving after two and a half years on the soap.
Speaking about the opportunity to join ITV he told The Stage: "I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Corrie. It goes without saying that it's a tremendous honour to be entrusted with building on Coronation Street's success and creating the must-see storylines for 2012 and beyond."
I cannot think of anyone better to be the new producer! Phil is a highly talented bloke and I am confident he will lead the show well into the next decade! Fantasic news!
It'll be great to see what's in store, especially with a new producer, corrie has had a great year - a few ups and downs, but that's the way all soaps go, looking forward to what#s ahead.
Ok it's been on tv for awhile but my sister is mad to get a wire zig zag necklace like Liz mcdonalds any help??
