Coronation Street February 04 - 10
Friday 3 February 2012
Carla tries to begin the week as she would like things to be - by insisting that it's business as usual and she heads off to a client meeting. She returns to the factory triumphant that she has a new contract in the bag however she gets a nasty shock at Underworld.
Meanwhile Peter has his own problems when he learns that Simon has been acting up at school. When he hears what Carla has been going through, he suggests that they all pack up and leave Coronation Street for good.
Tempted as she is, Carla isn't quite ready to give up without a fight. After a demanding first day back in the office though, she's ready to hit the wine bottle but calls over to Peter for a chat and a snuggle. Simon goes berserk when he sees them both together and they've a battle on their hands to sort it all out.
Elsewhere it's a case of War of the Roses for Tracy and Steve over at the Rovers. With Tracy refusing to move out, Steve is forced to use the bathroom in the Rovers so he retaliates by switching off her electricity so in turn, she switches off his heat as the thermostat is upstairs! As amusing (and immature) as it all is, it can't go on forever but there's plenty more shenanigans in store before anything is resolved.
Rosie is fuming over her risqué article in the Gazette, which causes her to lose her road safety campaign job. However every cloud and all that as later on her agent calls to say that as a result of all of the publicity, she's being offered an audition for a reality TV show - it's all getting a tad realistic!
Katy and Chesney are struggling to keep house and the young parents can't seem to get Joseph to sleep. They are both exhausted and fall asleep leaving the dinner to incinerate in the background!

- The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches
Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

- Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart
Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
