List of Coronation Street home video releases

Many selected episodes, specially produced episodes, and feature length spin-offs of the British television soap opera Coronation Street have been released on video and DVD.

1980s

The Magic of Coronation Street

In 1982, a VHS video entitled The Magic of Coronation Street - Distant Memories 1960 -1964 was released by Granada Video. Its running time was 172 minutes and it featured six episodes of the programme, together with specially shot sequences featuring Annie Walker, Elsie Tanner and Len Fairclough. Later, The Magic of Coronation Street was released as two separate packages, each containing three episodes, by Vestron Video.

Episodes featured:

Part one: Episode 1 (9 December 1960); Gas Main Leak (9 February 1961); Christmas Day 1961

Part two: Elsie discovers that Bill Gregory is married (11 July 1962); This is Your Life (12 December 1962); Cinderella (23 December 1964)

The Jubilee Years

In 1985, to celebrate the serial's 25th anniversary, two video tapes were released (again on Vestron Video), entitled The Jubilee Years - Part One and The Jubilee Years - Part Two. These featured a previously unseen character Alice Hughes revisiting the Street to recall characters like Ena and Elsie and catch up on 'current happenings' with Ken and Deirdre Barlow, Betty Turpin and Hilda Ogden.

The Life and Loves of Elsie Tanner

In 1987, The Life and Loves of Elsie Tanner was released, with the characters of Mike Baldwin, Emily Bishop and Elsie's daughter, Linda, recalling Elsie's time on the Street. In this production it is hinted that Elsie has died, an event not referred to in the series proper until 2011, when her son Dennis Tanner said she and her husband Bill Gregory died in 2004 after a car crash in Portugal (Emily tells Linda that she was "sorry to hear about her mother"). Pat Phoenix, who played Elsie, had died the previous year. So many may imply that this one off special is not at all a part of the series canon.

1990s

30th-anniversary set

In 1990, as a celebration for the serial's 30th anniversary, 10 video tapes were released by Windsong Video Productions, each featuring four episodes from a specific year and introduced by someone who was close to the stories that year (for example, Betty Turpin's husband Cyril died in 1974, therefore Betty Driver hosted the 1974 tape). These tapes were initially distributed by Granada Video for viewing in the UK only, but were reissued on NTSC tape (a year later) for viewing in the US and Canada.

The Cruise

In 1995, Coronation Street - The Cruise was released on VHS to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the show. The Cruise was the first straight-to-video tape, released in 1995 and featured a storyline aboard the QE2. The spin-off proved controversial as although the cover claimed that the special was exclusive-to-video, only a few months after it was released it was shown on ITV on 24 March 1996. This provoked many complaints which resulted in Granada (who had not sanctioned the airing of the special but were overruled by ITV) being ordered by the Independent Television Commission to make a public apology as well as sending a letter of apology along with a free paperback book as a gesture of goodwill to each complainant. Subsequent releases have included carefully worded statements concerning future television broadcasting.[1]

Viva Las Vegas

A United States-set special, Coronation Street: Viva Las Vegas! follows Jack and Vera and other characters to America. It was released on VHS in 1999 and screened on ITV the following year. Written by Russell T Davies, the special featured a guest cameo by actor Neville Buswell, who was then living in America, who briefly reprised his role as Ray Langton.[2]

Time-Life releases

Many VHS tapes were made in the 1990s for the British market, from mail-order company Time-Life Distribution, with each tape consisting of a compilation of footage featuring a particular character (for example, Gail, Rita, the Duckworths). They were made only in PAL format and not distributed in the United States or Canada.

2000s

This Is Coronation Street (2003)

In 2003, a special DVD set called This is Coronation Street was released on Region 1 DVD. On the two-disc set is the 40 Years on Coronation Street one-off special as well as the first five episodes of the programme. In 2004, a Coronation Street: Secrets DVD box set of televised specials was released in Canada, but not in the United States, despite both being in region 1.[3]

Out of Africa

On 10 November 2008, a DVD titled Coronation Street: Out of Africa was released.
