Have you ever wondered what Coronation Street would look like after The Event?

Well, thanks to artist Jim'll Paint It, we've got a good idea of how the post-apocalyptic cobbles might appear.

And as everyone knows, the only thing that can survive a nuclear disaster is a roach, but in this case it's William Roache, also known as Ken Barlow!

Of course, you can't have Ken without Dierdre, who has been re-imagined as the most fashionable robot of all time.

The picture, made in Microsoft Paint, also shows a destroyed Rovers Return, a sweet looking weapon and, yes, Ken is open-shirted.

Ken is currently at the centre of a whodunit in Corrie, as he was found unconscious at the bottom of the stairs earlier in the week.

Ten characters are suspected of shoving him down said stairs in a case of attempted murder, but who could it be?

Last night's (March 31) episode crossed one character off the list, as Phelan was shown to be working at the builders' yard flat when the incident took place. It's probably the one crime he hasn't committed.

Whoever the guilty party is, we don't think they'd like to meet this gun-toting version of Ken in a dark alley anytime soon...

Coronation Street continues on Monday (April 3) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
