VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

Since its debut in 1960, "Coronation Street" – or "Corrie" as it's lovingly called by millions of loyal viewers – has become the longest running soap opera in history, and one of the most popular. Outlining the day-to-day lives of the population of a fictional town in Greater Manchester called Weatherfield, the show is an icon in its native Britain – in fact, it's rare to even find a Brit who doesn't have some passing knowledge of characters like Ken Barlow, Hilda Ogden or Elsie Tanner.
