Morrissey was a huge fan of Coronation Street and sent in a script for consideration, back in the day.
In his autobiography just released, he says this about sending in the script to Corrie:
"I
whip off a word-slinger's delight wherein young take on old as a jukebox is
tested in the Rovers Return. Swords cross, heads bump and horns lock, and the
episode fades with Violet Carson addressing the camera, one eyebrow arched,
with, 'Do I really look like a fan of X-Ray Spex?'"
The script was not filmed.
But he did interview Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner).

I can think of one very good reason it was rejected. He's a smug, self-important prat (IMHO, of course)
Hear, hear!
