It's not hijack CZ, it's just slippage.
I did watch modern Corrie tonight because it was a landmark moment.
Was gutted that I watched the first 30 minutes though - no death, no disaster, no trams! I came back down to watch the second episode though, and wasn't disappointed. I didn't bother with the Olden Days Corrie
as I'm not a Corrie fan, but Mum has been for years, and Dad pretends he isn't but will not stir from his seat when it's on, except in the advert breaks.
I'll probably watch on Thursday anyway, because there's always a slight frisson about live episodes (a la Quatermass!)
