Coronation Street Blog: Iain MacLeod teases plans for Corrie's 60th anniversary

This year on December 9th, Coronation Street will celebrate its 60th anniversary. And in an interview with Inside Soap magazine, in the shops today, Corrie producer Iain MacLeod teases a little about what might be in store for this special year of our favourite soap.

Iain tells Inside Soap: "It's an astonishing landmark - and at the start of the year, we have our 10,000th episode that we are intending to mark with something 'classic Corrie' that has a comedic and character-driven vibe.

"The 60th is likely to be something more explosive.

"The expectation from the audience now with anniversaries isn't necessarily death and destruction, but that a spectacle is attached to it. We have some fairly novel ideas that we are exploring at the moment, so that should be exciting!"
