Canadian Corrie fans - keep your eyes peeled for our blogger Diane (aka Tvor) who'll appear in the One Hour Television Special on Thursday, December 9 at 8 PM (8:30 NT) on CBC-TV.
The special is hosted by Canadian television host, design guru and Coronation Street fan, Debbie Travis.
"I know the loyalty and devotion of Corrie fans may seem crazy to those who don’t watch the show, but like millions of Canadians, I’ve always been ‘Corrie Crazy’,” said Travis, who hails from the part of England in which the show is set. “It was an incredible experience to travel home to Manchester to talk to the people who make and star in the program.”
To explore the Canadian cultural phenomenon of Coronation Street, Travis talks to fans, media watchers, broadcast executives, and even academics who help explain the show’s overwhelming success.
“What we learn about the power and appeal of this so-called ‘soap opera’ will surprise fans and non-fans alike,” explained Travis.
In fact, even after almost 40 years on Canadian television, the show continues to attract and gain fans. Last season on CBC, Coronation Street reached more than 13.5 million Canadians, and so far this season, one in five Canadians have already tuned into Coronation Street on weekday evenings at 6:30 p.m.
