CORONATION STREET
Rita Littlewood: [about Norris's secret book] The hero of his novel has got himself caught up in a menage-a-trois!
Emily Nugent: Oh, really!

Emily Nugent: I most certainly do!
Rita Littlewood: Oh. Well, the two women involved in this...
Emily Nugent: Love triangle?
Rita Littlewood: Yes. Are a mild-mannered church-goer called Emilia...
Emily Nugent: [subtly shocked] Oh.
Rita Littlewood: ...and a racy, Titian temptress called Reeba.
Emily Nugent: [suspicious] Oh.
Rita Littlewood: [reading from the novel] "Norris jumped out of the moped as Emilia and Reeba alighted the side-car...”
Emily Nugent: That's a big side-car!
Rita Littlewood: "... and hand in hand, the three of them ran barefoot through Chester Zoo. Atop the souvenir kiosk, Reeba belts out a quick rendition of "Paper Moon", whilst Emilia chose this moment - for some solemn prayer."
Emily Nugent: It's not really a page-turner, is it?
Rita Littlewood: You wait till you hear what happens in the meercat enclosure!
Emily Nugent: I like meercats... I've a tea towel with some on - Norris knows that!

The Office, a show where really it takes the mick out of office workers and how they might live there day to dat lives, the above names are programs which has been shown to the public, we can see that they have covered a more wide range of event for a normal drama show, the office purely focuses on comedy whereas Coronation street is a more dramatic show which trys to focus on realistic everts happening in the world. topics like how gay people are treated in the world? Also deals with the basic idea of love trianlges, the only way we could compare theses two shows are if we look at the comedy side to both , which we would be lacking evidence of comedy when it comes to Coronation, only minour amount of comedy and thats based on private jokes for people living in that kind of surrounding.
