Coronation Street will look back at its memorable moments and iconic characters whilst Emmerdale will revisit three generations of its most popular families. All three shows have been carefully curated to take viewers on a trip down memory lane.

This is a new 4 x 30 series narrated by Sally Lindsay looking back at some of the iconic characters who have walked the cobbles over the years.
We'll celebrate some of the longest serving much loved cast members and chart their character's journey and find out what the actors themselves think of their time on the street.
The four iconic characters are Ken Barlow (played by William Roache), Sally Metcalfe (played by Sally Dynevor), Liz McDonald (played by Beverley Callard) and Roy Cropper (played by David Neilson).
The episodes will contain archive footage and new talking heads by cast members past and present.
Coronation Street Icons: Ken Barlow
William Roache reveals just what life was like for the original cast of Coronation Street and why Violet Carson was the natural leader. He admits his love for an on screen punch up where he always tries to play it as real as possible. Bill also likens his current role as the head of the Barlows as that of a mafia boss, surrounded by his henchman.
Coronation Street Icons: Sally Metcalfe
Sally Dynevor tells the story of how she nearly messed up her role on Coronation Street on her very first day. She reveals the real off-screen relationship with her on screen daughters Rosie and Sophie, and speaks frankly about how a hard-hitting breast cancer storyline coincided with her own battle with the illness.
Coronation Street Icons: Liz McDonald
Beverley Callard reveals Liz's racy wardrobe secrets and how she often buys some of the more outrageous outfits herself. She also talks about the off-screen mother/son relationship that she has with Simon Gregson who plays her on screen son Steve.
Coronation Street Icons: Roy Cropper
David Neilson talks about how his own Mum influenced Roy Cropper's mannerisms, and how a conversation at a party turned into one of his most memorable storylines when Tracy Barlow lured Roy into bed for a bet.
Emmerdale Family Trees
A new 4 x 30 series narrated by Gaynor Faye looking back at different generations of three of the soap's most loved families - The Tates, The Sugdens and The Dingles.
The series will be a mixture of archive footage and new talking heads by cast members past and present.
The Sugdens
This episode will look at the farming family that's been at the heart of the soap since it launched in 1972 with Annie Sugden at the helm. Over almost 5 decades they've endured heartbreak, feuds and sibling rivalry like no other.
We hear from Alyson Sprio who married into the Sugden family as Jacks wife Sarah who quickly became embroiled in some of the families biggest storyline up to her dramatic death in a Barn Fire. Frazer Hines, who played Joe Sugden, looks back at his time as the son of Annie and shares stories about becoming part of the soaps most famous farming family.
The Tates
In the late 80's the Tates burst on the scene, bringing glamour, money and power to the farming community. Alongside Frank, his wife Kim and his children Chris and Zoe, they quickly became embroiled in some of the soaps most memorable storylines; from the plane crash that left Chris paralysed to the paternity battle over Kim's son Jamie.
