Re-release cover (2011)

Coronation Street: 1970-1979 was a ten-disc DVD boxset featuring 80 Coronation Street episodes originally broadcast in the UK in the 1970s. Each disc contained eight episodes from a year between 1970 and 1979.

The set was the first of five Coronation Street DVD boxsets released by Network DVD, each focusing on a specific decade. In its original release on 25th July 2005, the boxset was comprised of ten individual DVD cases inside an outer box. These were also released separately. It was re-issued in a slimmer ten-disc case at a lower retail price on 5th September 2011.

There were no listed special features but the original studio countdown clocks, complete with the voice of the floor manager were included as easter eggs for most episodes.
