  1. Award for Coronation Street creator

    Coronation Street creator Tony Warren was on home turf and on fine form when he received an award at the Salford International Media Festival last night.

    Warren, now 79, created the soap 55 years ago. After clips of its early years were shown, he joked that he had been "haunted by those characters" for 50 years.

    After being presented with the conference's inaugural achievement award trophy, he said the character that haunts him the most is Ena Sharples.

    I'm left wondering just what Ena would have made of this. She'd say, 'Oh yes, yes, very nice, very nice. One more ornament to dust. Not much dusting done in your house anyway.'

    It puts me in mind of one thing and one thing only. I bet it's not occurred to you but it's occurred to me. This could be the last monument you see before the actual gravestone.

    Ena would surely tell him not to be so daft.

  2. Adele takes it to church

    With only three days to go before Adele's new album, 25, hits the shelves, she has released a second song from the record.

    When We Were Young was recently described in The Guardian as the album's "centrepiece" and "a standard in the making".

    It has the same combination of hope and melancholy that made Someone Like You a worldwide hit, without sounding like a facsimilie of that song.

    The video, uploaded to YouTube this morning, sees Adele perform the track live at London's Church studios, where some of 25 was recorded.

    Stick around to the end for a quintessential Adele moment...
