Coronation Street's Siege Week apparently set producers back a total of over £1m, a report claims.
According to the News of the World, the special episodes - following evil Tony Gordon's escape from prison - have left a hole in the show's budget for the rest of the year.
Reported costs include £280,000 for the factory explosion, with £150,000 used to repair subsequent damage, and £120,000 on special effects.
"We wanted Tony to leave with a bang. We'll wipe the floor with the BBC," an insider claimed.
Siege Week begins tomorrow at 7pm, with the following episodes airing at 9pm daily around the Britain's Got Talent live shows.
