It starts off with actress "Jessie Wallace" portraying "Pat Phoenix" running down a corridor looking for tony warren for his support 7min's before first transmission.Then it cut's back to the past day's which show's tony's extremely hard work to get his feet under the table at Granada television which he fail's to do on the acting side.Then one of the producers mentions about someone upstairs looking for young,northern writer's to nurture which turns out to be Canadian harry Elton..Without droning on to much it's a really good plot line of how one of Britain's best loved soap operas very nearly became a pile of papers on the hearth.And how the bigwig's at Granada didn't even want it commissioned in the first place..I gave it 10 out of 10 and throughly enjoy it so much so i have seen it 3time's..I write this review after just seeing for the 3rd time and also today's day is coronation street's official 50th birthday not bad for a show that was only commissioned for 13 episodes.
