Exiting Coronation Street boss Steve Frost has admitted that he would have loved to flood Weatherfield.
Frost, who is leaving the soap to become head of continuing series at ITV, said he regretted missing the chance to bring a natural disaster to Corrie.
In an interview with ITV.com, Frost said: "I would love to have flooded the Street. It would have been great to see a natural weather disaster on the Street.
"We keep touching on it, thinking, 'can we tank the Street, can we fill it with water?' I really fell in love with the idea of somebody in a rowing boat coming round the corner by the Rovers - people climbing out of the top floor of the Rovers into rowing boats.
"It would have been a view of the Street never seen before and probably never seen again, but it proved a little bit difficult to pull off. One day, though, I think it will happen because it would be marvellous."
Kim Crowther, a former script and series editor on Coronation Street, was announced as the new producer last year.
I don't think Corrie has had a flood before. ?
It has had almost everything else. ;D
