On 9th December 1990, "Coronation Street" celebrates 30 years as the longest-running drama serial in the history of British television. "Coronation Street: 30 years", is an account of all that has happened - both fact and fiction - since Granada Television brought this soap opera to the screen three decades ago. It is a catalogue of magic moments - some happy, some sad - from the TV programme that has a 23 million strong audience. The book contains exclusive interviews with 30 famous "Street" actors - past and present, and a month by month detailed 30 year diary of the storyline.
