There will be a new BBC series going into production this year, a romantic comedy called Antony and Cleopatra. It's got several Coronation Street links including former Corrie actors Anne Reid (Val Barlow) and Sarah Lancashire (Raquel Watts).
It is written by ex- Corrie writer, Sally Wainwright and it is about former childhood sweethearts who meet up 60 years later and reminisce about what could have been while the lives of their children are in upheaval around them. Anne Reid's co-star is veteran actor, Derek Jacobi.
You can read more about the series here. I think this sounds like it will be worth checking out. The rest of the cast is excellent too. The series will be aired on BBC One later this year.
