Scripts for Coronation Street were found discarded in a shopping bag at a bus stop.

Warehouse worker Dave Bradshaw discovered a 60-page document close to the soap's studios in Manchester. It contained all of the scripts for the upcoming week's episodes.

"We were getting the bus home after a night out. I couldn't believe what I saw," Dave told The People. "My wife Steph read them all and thought they were brilliant but I didn't bother as I'm an Emmerdale fan."

The document has now been safely returned to producers.
