TV'S FAVOURITE STREET
Coronation Street (or affectionately called Coro) is a longrunning UK soap opera, first broadcast on 9th December
1960.
It was created by Tony Warren, pitched as a kitchen sink
drama serial about the domestic lives of the working class
in the north of England, specifically the residents of the
Coronation Street in the fictional town of Weatherfield
in Greater Manchester. Since 1960, it has been produced
by Granada Television and for most of that time it has
been one of the UK's highest rated shows. It has been one
of the most financially lucrative programmes on British
commercial television, underpinning the success of the
Granada Television franchise and the broadcaster ITV.
Coronation Street is noted for its depiction of a downto-earth working class community combined with lighthearted humour and strong characters. In a 2005 poll
marking ITV's 50th anniversary, Coronation Street was
voted the greatest ITV show of all time
