Incidental music during next week's Corrie
Published Wednesday, Aug 26 2009, 15:30 BST | By Kris Green | 9 comments

On Monday, Norris (Malcolm Hebden) hears the shock news that his half-brother Ramsay (Andrew Sachs) died on his flight home to Australia. Emily (Eileen Derbyshire), who had taken a keen liking to Ramsay, is absolutely devastated when she hears.
During the final few minutes of the second episode of the week, Emily takes out an 'Australian Favourites' CD with a note stuck to it from Ramsay which reads: 'I hope you enjoy these and think of me sometimes. With gratitude and affection, Ramsay.'
It's a touching moment as Emily turns on the stereo and Alex Hook's version of the Aussie classic 'Waltzing Matilda' plays over the end of the ep.
Meanwhile, during next Friday's first episode, Take That's 'Said It All' is used over a scene with Becky (Katherine Kelly) drinking a cocktail after hearing Liz (Beverley Callard) mouthing off to Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) about her.
Last month, the producers chose to use Lily Allen's 'LDN' and The Smiths' 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want' in the episodes which led to the peak of Joe McIntrye's pill addiction story.
Prior to that, the most notable use of incidental music was back in December for Carla (Alison King) and Tony's (Gray O'Brien) wedding, during which they used the extremely effective Green Day song 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)'.
What are your thoughts on Corrie's use of incidental music? Too much or just right?
