Phil Collinson looks back on his Corrie years

In spite of the fact that new Corrie producer, Stuart Blackburn, has been on the job for a few months now, Friday saw the last episode from Phil Collinson's era aired on our screens. Whatever you think of his legacy, he's done some interesting things as well as some decisions that most of the fans seems to disagree with .

On ITV, there's a video of Mr. C. reflecting on his tenure at the helm of Coronation Street. It's over here but for those of you that can't see it, here's a few highlights.

He says he's had the time of his life working on such a great challenge. He calls the 50th anniversary episodes "breathtaking" and is pleased everyone "stepped up to the mark" to give us an "amazing" performance.

Other of his favourite storylines include Kirsty and domestic violence,  Becky's exit, Jack Duckworth's exit, and of course the recent fire. "I got to destroy both ends" he chuckles.

He thanks the cast and crew and the fans and hands the reins over to the next guy!
