ITV is producing a one-off special TV show to celebrate the 90th birthday of Barbara Knox, who plays Rita.
Barbara will join Bradley Walsh (who played Corrie's Danny Baldwin) as she looks back on the highlights of her television and theatre career.
“It’s easy to throw the words ‘legend’ and ‘icon’ around, but Barbara Knox really does embody both of those terms,” said Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV.
“It’s a privilege to tell the story of one of British television’s most enduring stars as she celebrates a very special birthday.”
It will also feature interviews will stars, past and present, as well as looking back on some of the biggest storylines.

About time too. I love Rita - her kindness, wit, and the fact that the scriptwriters have never turned her into a "little old lady".
