Fully endorsed by ITV, Corrie! is a funny and affectionate tribute to five decades of life on the Street.
Following the fortunes of two of Weatherfield’s finest families, the Barlows and the Platts, the show features favourites past and present like Ena Sharples, Hilda Ogden, Hayley and Roy, Jack Duckworth and Bet Lynch.
Coronation Street favourite, Gaynor Faye, who played Judy Mallett in the soap from 1995 to 1999 will narrate the show.
