INSIDE TV TUESDAY 8 November ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG IN SOUTH KOREAChannel 5 9PM Hi, Alexander! Why did you choose to travel to South Korea? It struck me as the perfect oddity for a travel show in that it’s a very modern culture – one that’s gaining worldwide relevance across film, music, TV and tech. Yet compared to, say, Japan or China, we know remarkably little about it. You’re continuing to explore the capital of Seoul: what did you make of it there? Seoul offers up some extraordinary backdrops, from its 10-lane highways and its huge tech boulevards to its bustling backstreets full of restaurants, cafés and boutiques. The place thrums with frantic energy. I found it exhilarating and exhausting in equal measure. What’s your takeaway about the country from…

Here’s a little implement-related poser to whet your appetite: why wouldn’t the frog lend the mushroom his hammer? Because it’s a toad’s tool! Oh, fine, suit yourselves. Joining Alan on the panel and hoping not to hear the sound of alarm bells are the far funnier Joe Lycett, Holly Walsh…

One of the many great things about the Platts is that no one family member is ever in the shade. Street stalwarts Helen Worth and Sue Nicholls – who play Gail and Audrey, respectively – have been with Corrie since the 70s, and are just as central to the drama as they ever were. “The Platts don’t always get on, but actually when push comes to shove, they cling together,” muses Sue, reflecting on the clan’s popularity with viewers. “David can be so rude and we send up poor Gail – but that’s what happens in families. We’re seeing the real side and not just everyone hugging and kissing. Although, that can be nice, too!” “Thank you to everyone who voted for the Platt family at the Inside Soap Awards,”…
