James Bailey (played by Nathan Graham) and Michael are targeted in Coronation Street tonight (ITV, 7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

In tonight’s first episode of the ITV soap, Michael and James Bailey test drive a sports car after James is offered 30k for his tell-all interview. A police car pulls them over and when James questions the officer as to why he stopped them, he arrests James for obstruction and handcuffs him.  James trips and injures his leg just as Craig rounds the corner to see him in agony and Michael convinced they’re victims of an unprovoked racist attack. In the hospital, James is sure his career is over.
