Coronation Street, 2009

Context:
Ken is showing off his kimono at a dinner party to Deirdre, Liz, Lloyd and Blanche.

Blanche:
Oh, for the love of God!

Ken Barlow (William Roache):
OK. Come on. Let's have it. You've got a problem with this, I should imagine?

Blanche:
A grown man, dressed as a Giesha? Have you gone stark staring mad?

Ken:
It is no different to a dressing gown. I mean what. Is there a rule? "Thou shalt wear terry towelling in the North West of England"?

Blanche:
There should be.

Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles):
Oh come on, Blanche. If a man can't indulge his eccentricities at home, where can he indulge them?

Deirdre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride):
I wouldn't mind if he didn't indulge them in front of guests.

Ken:
Look it's not eccentric, it's Japanese and it makes me feel comfortable.

Liz MacDonald (Beverley Callard):
Well I'm with the boys. I mean Lloyd wears all manner of weird and wonderful things.

Blanche:
Well that's understandable. (Turns back to Ken) But Ken! Always got to be different. Always sniffing out controversy. Does Tennessee Williams wear kimono?

Ken:
Tennessee Williams is dead!

Blanche:
I'm not surprised!

Context:
Becky Granger has thrown away Michelle's ring.

Blanche Hunt (to Steve MacDonald):
That's the second fiance to chuck that ring away. You'd be better off buying a boomerang!

Tony (to Luke about about Rosie):
The only thing lower than that daft lass' neckline is her IQ.
