The latest buzz in the soap world is all about the new addition to ITVX's streaming service. Yes, you guessed it, a plethora of classic Coronation Street episodes have been added for our viewing pleasure. This exciting news means that fans can now binge-watch episodes from the very beginning, all the way up to the present day. Not only that, but highlights from each decade of the show's life are also included. So, get ready to witness some of the most iconic moments in the show's history.
Starting from 2005, the episodes are being added in chronological order. This means that viewers can follow the show's journey from the very start, including Ken Barlow's first appearance, the loves of Elsie Tanner, and even the collapse of No. 7 and a train crashing off the viaduct. And that's not all, there's also the fun-filled Majorca trip for the Street ladies in the 70s, Mike Baldwin's arrival, and Gail Potter's first engagement.
If you're feeling nostalgic, you can even go back to the early days and relive Gail's wedding to Martin. And for those who can't get enough drama, there's plenty to choose from as well. Deirdre Barlow's scandalous affair with Mike, a tragic fire at the Rovers Return, and Hilda Ogden's final episode in the 80s are just some of the highlights.
Moving on to the 90s, we have Gail's wedding to Martin (yes, she's been married more than once!), Reg Holdsworth's leaky water bed, and who can forget Bet Lynch's blazing row with Rita Sullivan? It's safe to say that the drama never ends on Coronation Street.
But wait, there's more! The 00s brought us some of the most memorable moments in the show's history. King Charles' first soap appearance in the live 40th anniversary episode, Richard Hillman's reign of terror, and Tracy Barlow's shocking murder of Charlie Stubbs are all included in this decade's episodes.
Now, for the fan favorites. The historic first episode, No. 7 Coronation Street collapsing, a train crashing off the viaduct, and Ken learning about his brother and nephew's deaths in Australia are just a few of the must-watch episodes on the list. And let's not forget the ladies' holiday in Majorca, Audrey Roberts' arrival, and Deirdre becoming Mrs. Barlow. These are the episodes that started it all.
For those who love a good soap opera wedding, Gail's marriage to Martin and Bet learning that Rita won't invest in the pub are some of the most memorable moments from the 90s. And who could forget the arrival of the Battersby clan and the infamous "Free the Weatherfield One" storyline?
To celebrate the upcoming 60th anniversary, BritBox has added over 100 classic episodes of Coronation Street this year. Along with these episodes, fans can also enjoy a variety of documentaries and dramas surrounding the show. And for those who can't get enough, there are also episodes of Coronation Street Compilations, a series narrated by Jason Manford that looks back at the last 60 years, and special documentaries celebrating key characters.
It's worth noting that many of these episodes were previously only available through a paid BritBox subscription but are now available for free. So, if you've been wanting to relive some of your favorite Coronation Street moments, now is your chance.
