Coronation Street has always presented quality programming, and that didn't change at the beginning of the 00s. However, there is definitely a change in the show. Episodes in this boxset are much more action packed, maybe even too action packed. There's a heck of a lot of explosions and fires which can be slightly draining, although still entertaining nevertheless. Compared to the previous 4 boxsets, it's got to be said that this one just simply isn't as good. It's entertaining stuff, don't get me wrong, particularly in terms of nostalgia, but the influx of terrible characters/actors in the 2000s increased. Sean and Tracy spring to mind, but there are many more. Of course there are some fabulous characters, such as Richard Hillman and Shelley, but to me this boxset stands out as the weakest of the 5. However, it's still worth a watch, but with no subtitles or extras, £42 is slightly a high amount to pay.

I have all of the Coro boxsets now, but have to agree with other reviewers, now I have seen right through the years, the 2000's aren't as good as the 70's , 80's and 90's. When you watch them from decade to decade it is really obvious the stories are just trying to be too dramatic, which I suppose is keeping up with the times. Also, there were far too many 'to be continued', most frustratingly 2007 when Tracy whacked Charlie over the head with the statuette. Instead of showing the outcome (which we all know) the next one was a boring episode from 2 months later, featuring just Tracy and Deirdre, talking about Tracy's upcoming court case for the murder. So boring, infact,that my daughter and I fast forwarded it, something we have never done in the history of all our Coro boxsets! I really dont know how or why they have chosen some of the 2000's episodes, but disappointingly have missed some really good ones out. (I never thought I would give a negative comment to Coro, I am a life long fan! Sorry)
