Harold, man and boy and girl

Re: the Roy and Hayley storyline on Coronation Street, no-one seems to have drawn a parallel with the film Harold and Maude (Hayley was after all a transgender man originally called Harold). Come on you fellows of Media Studies (there are a lot of you out there), what price a treatise on Harold and Roy v Harold and Maude. Which is best? Only one way to find out... Fight!
