CORONATION STREET

Tweet

'Coronation Street' is probably the most famous show in British TV history - to British television audiences anyway.

This Tony Warren Northern soap began with pretty humble expectations when it first appeared in 1960, but has broken all records by being, comfortably, the longest-running drama in the history of British television.
