On British Soaps, the Poor and the Jobless
CORONATION STREET, one of Britains most popular soap operas, begins with an aerial shot of the working-class neighborhood in which it takes place, one much like any other in Manchester. The camera then swoops in on the street, with row after row of small, dark houses, their laundry hanging out to dry. It is a far cry, sociologically as well as geographically, from a place like Pine Valley, the ritzy setting for the American soap opera classic All My Children, whose residents would probably rather starve than let the neighbors see their laundry. But the downscale setting is de rigueur for British soap operas, part of a long tradition of socially realistic drama that very much reflects Britains often skeptical attitudes (well before Labor recaptured the Government with Prime Minister Tony Blairs election last month) toward money, class and the prospects for social mobility..

Britains Second City Sandblasts Its Image
GREATER Manchester has Britains second-largest urban population -- 2.5 million people living under 10 local authorities -- but the city is often glossed over by guidebooks, if not completely ignored. The oversight may have something to do with the citys image as the Pittsburgh of England, a vestige of the Industrial Revolution straight out of Dickens, who might have modeled Coketown in Hard Times on the city. (That dubious honor belongs instead to Preston, Lancashire, although Dickens is believed to have drawn his inspiration for Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol and the Cheeryble brothers in Nicholas Nickleby from Mancunians.) Just as Pittsburgh has come up in the world in recent years, so has Manchester. The city has not overcome its image so much as learned how to capitalize on it. Factory equipment has been turned into museum exhibits; once-dilapidated warehouses are now hotels and galleries. Gems of Victorian architecture, like the 1871 Barton Arcade and the 1877 Town Hall, have begun showing their true faces as a centurys dirt has been sandblasted away. In the process, a certain rough-edged urban charm has emerged.
