Nine and a half years younger than me, and the world's longest-running TV soap opera.

The first episode is as good a piece of starting a show as I have ever seen.

I remember seeing it, years ago. It was almost all exposition, as far as I recall, so you knew who was who and what was what from then on. Two women in the cormer shop gossiping about their neighbours, as I recall.

It's catching up with me! I was 59 in April.

I've watched Coronation Street since I was a child with some gaps after which I pick it up again. Also saw the drama/doc about Tony Warren who kicked it all off. Good stuff.

Yep I loved that. I don't watch any soaps now but it was a part of my childhood.

And this is just brilliant

If you did watch it now you'd witness murders, rape, trafficking of young women and other dastardly deeds.
