Colson SmithHOST
Soap equivalent.
Colson SmithHOST
The year before they had fucking Craig Tinker, year after they've got David Platt.
Jack P. ShepherdHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Jack P. ShepherdHOST
And I suppose Lacey is...
AliHOST
That's why it's insidious.
BillyHOST
Yeah, it's quite creepy, isn't it? Like I said, I have been fast-forwarding those scenes, which is a shame because someone like David Platt has funny moments and you're like, that's what I tune into Coronation Street for, the lesbians and the funny.
AliHOST
Exactly.
BillyHOST
Is this because this is what people want to see? No,
GemmaHOST
[upbeat music] Today on the podcast, I'm joined by the man who you might know for playing David Platt, or maybe Carl Webster, Blanche Hunt, or even sometimes Ken Barlow himself.
GemmaHOST
Yes, over the past few years, Jamie Aston has made a bit of a name for himself online with his amazing Coronation Street skits.
GemmaHOST
Also, recently, he joined the team at the Coronation Street Experience as one of their tour guides.
Jamie AstonGUEST
I started on Instagram with maybe 400 followers, and then Christmas last year, it just blew up out of nowhere because I was posting new characters.
GemmaHOST
Mm.
Jamie AstonGUEST
I brought in a lot of David Platt skits, a lot of, again, controversially, EastEnders skits, and it all just skyrocketed.
Jamie AstonGUEST
It skyrocketed more on TikTok first, and then Instagram found me, and Instagram's just really been nurturing me with, like, views and with comments and likes, and I have found my people.
Jamie AstonGUEST
And hopefully, those people will stay.

GemmaHOST
No.

MichaelHOST
And I, and I said on the, on the short, didn't I? It just felt like we were seeing the same scenes, but pretty much every story-
GemmaHOST
Yeah
MichaelHOST
... that we'd seen play out a million times before, with Jodie getting her claws into David.

Yesterday's episode...
MichaelHOST
I mean, that was a very, very, that was a very, very Bobbins episode.
MichaelHOST
And I said on the short, didn't I? It just felt like we were seeing the same scenes, but pretty much every story that we'd seen play out a million times before with Jodie getting her claws into David, Sam looking a bit like, ooh, what have I done wrong now? And, you know, all that stuff.
MichaelHOST
But today was better.
Colson SmithHOST
If we-
Jack P. ShepherdHOST
I got, "I'd rather be a Dingle than a Platt."
Colson SmithHOST
That's good.
Jack P. ShepherdHOST
That was, that was at a Leeds game.
Colson SmithHOST

On my three, two, one, each of you will give a letter of the alphabet.
Colson SmithHOST
And then between you, it's the first person who can name an actor or a film or TV character with the two initials we're given.
Colson SmithHOST
Okay? So, for example, if we were to go D&P, it could be David Platt.
Ben PriceHOST
Yeah?
Miles SmithHOST
Not compulsory, but it would be nice.
Miles SmithHOST
David Platt, if you're out there, you want to do a wrestling match? Come to Future Shock.
