The Corrie Years - The Headline Makers

Plot
Narrated by David Morrissey, "The Corrie Years" takes a nostalgic look at some of the best loved storylines from the 50 year history of Coronation Street featuring previously unseen footage, cast interviews from both past and present stars and classic highlights from the show. The series celebrates and provides a closer look at how the show has continually made headlines and courted controversy, broken new ground in television drama, challenged taboos and reflected the seismic changes in society which have occurred since the very beginning of the soap in 1960. This week's episode, titled "The Firsts", focuses on how Coronation Street has broken new ground with storylines such as the first transsexual character and the live episode for the 40th anniversary of the soap, which is something soaps and most non-news programs stopped doing decades before.
