In the second of our special episodes marking Corrie’s legendary tram crash disaster, we head behind the scenes to explore exactly how this unforgettable week came to life. From the first spark of the idea in the writing room, to the movie level special effects and the full-throttle promotion of the show’s 50th anniversary, we leave no piece of rubble unturned, and also take a closer look at how the landmark live episode was pulled off. With insights from writer Jan McVerry and memories from cast members including Vicky Binns, Sally Dynevor and Becky Hindley, this deep dive serves up everything you ever wanted to know about making one of Coronation Street’s biggest and boldest weeks ever.
