Coronation Street - Fiz escapes John and heads for Africa in pictures
Tuesday, 11 November 2008
Corrie fans are going to be in for a treat when a special Coronation Street DVD 'Out of Africa' is released on November 10th.
Fans of the cobbles will see the return of mother from hell Cilla Battersby-Brown as she aspires to hit the big time in the sun kissed climes of Sun City, South Africa.
There's only one problem; she needs her family on hand if she's to stand any chance of pulling off the most audacious of scams!
Chesney and Kirk are delighted to be reunited with Cilla, but it's not long before Ches smells a rat and Cilla is forced to explain to her gutted son why they have really been brought half way round the world.
Cilla eventually drops the bomb she has entered them in a prize to find the 'Sunshine Family Of South Africa' – and has been rather ambitious with the truth about her kids back in Manchester.
Duping them into joining her out there won't be enough for Cilla, though. It's not long before forlorn Fiz, fresh from more heartbreak from John Stape, dashes out to Africa too.
Others have their eye on the main prize of $500,000 too and if she's going to get her grubby mitts on the dosh – she's going to have to bring down the opposition first.
Things are unlikely to run smoothly, however, as Ches' head is turned by the enemy, Fiz finds love, and Cilla's latest beau is exposed to her scheming ways as they run the gauntlet of the South African bush - complete with lions, snakes and crocodiles!
At times both touching and hilarious, this 100 minute spin-off will make you laugh and cry in equal measures.
Only time will tell if the motley crew of Cilla, Ches, Fiz and Kirk will land the unlikely title of Sunshine Family and walk away with more money than they could dream of...
