I keep seeing tantalising glimpses of interesting pump clips in Corra's Rovers Return and can't make up my mind whether they're from Pictish or Beartown or somewhere else. Has anyone here been sufficiently intrigued to record an episode and study a frame in detail?

I can't say I've been up to the telly with a magnifying glass but I'm sure I saw a Rooster a few months ago.
Roosters appear in the pub in "Echo Beach" btw.
A few years ago, Corrie had a cross-promotion with J.W. Lees, a real family-owned brewery in Manchester, and one pump had a clip for their "John Willie's" Premium Bitter. (The other pump has always been Newton & Ridley.) Lees must have dropped their sponsorship, because it was replaced by "Booster", not Rooster, although it took me a long time to make it out. About 3 or 4 months ago, a new clip appeared but I couldn't read it at first because of the lettering style. But I have a big-screen TV, and it suddenly became clear - it's "Nuttall's", from the brewery not 100 yards away on Victoria Street, just down past Streetcars and Jerry's Kebab place. All these years, and it's the first time I've seen it displayed in The Rovers.
