Coronation Street: The Big 50 - Billed as the ultimate Coronation Street quiz, cast members and 'celebrity superfans' will be pitted against each other in a test of their knowledge of the past 50 years of Corrie. There are no details yet of who will be taking part but I'm concerned that this will end up with too much inane celebrity banter and not enough (tricky) questions.
We are assured that there will also be plenty of surprises and treats for Corrie fans along the way, though if this ends up as just a few old clips like the embarrassingly awful water bed sketch, then this Corrie fan will be a bit disappointed. I'll be watching it in the hope that my misgivings are unfounded though I'll be keeping a tight hold of the remote control in case Amanda Holden shows her face.
Coronation Street: 50 Years, 50 Moments - 2 hour-long shows telling the stories behind the 50 iconic storylines that have helped define the contribution that Coronation Street has made to British television. The 50 moments have been selected by a distinguished panel, including Tony Warren and Bill Roache.
There'll be comedy classics, murders, love afairs, dramatic exits and the real life issues that grabbed the headlines. Cast, past and present and the writers, directors and producers will provide some insight into how these moments came to our screens. Furthermore, ITV will be giving fans the chance to vote to determine the order of the top 50. We will be bringing you details of how to do that nearer the time.
