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.

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.
