Happy anniversary “Coronation Street”

This evening, “Coronation Street” – the world’s long-running television soap – marked 50 years of broadcasting in a dramatic special episode.

The show is based on Manchester, the city where I grew up [my notes here] and, three years ago, I was able to visit the set of the television series [my blog posting here].

So well done to everyone involved in such a special look at working class life.
