Current Coronation Street title sequence, introduced in 2. Originally following in the style of kitchen sink dramas seen on Armchair Theatre, the series had an early surge in popularity which has endured and kept the show in production for nearly five decades. In that time, it has been a great success for ITV, progressing from two to five episodes broadcast weekly, overseen by twenty- nine producers, and won many awards in the industry. It is currently one of the most- watched programmes on British television, and is also screened in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This article is about the production history of the programme. The main Coronation Street article gives more general information about the programme. Conception. Edit"There was life before "Coronation Street", but it didn't add up to much." - Russell Harty. Granada Television logo. In 1. 96. 0, Granada Television staff writer and former child actor Tony Warren asked producer Harry Elton in desperation to be taken off his staff- writer duties for their series of adaptations of the Biggles adventure stories by W. E. Johns, a task that he loathed. Part of Warren's dislike of the series was that he knew little about the world in which the books were set and Elton enquired what Warren did know enough about which would make a good series. Warren gave two answers: showbusiness and North of England. This latter interest stemmed from childhood memories of his grandmother's neighbourhood in inner Salford. While working at the BBC in 1. Warren had submitted a script entitled Our Street to his bosses, which was adapted from his first draft Where No Birds Sing. The setting of both was a northern backstreet similar to the ones he remembered. The BBC never replied to Warren's pitch, but Elton liked his idea and gave Warren just one day to come up with an idea that would "take Britain by storm". Rather than begin work on a new script, Warren adapted Our Street for Granada under the title Florizel Street, set in Weatherfield, a fictional suburb of Greater Manchester. The script would eventually become the first episode of Coronation Street. Warren also wrote a memo for the Granada board, explaining the series and why he thought it was a good idea. A fascinating freemasonary, a volume of unwritten rules. These are the driving forces behind life in the working class street in the north of England. The purpose of Florizel Street is to examine a community of this nature, and to entertain". Granada, with some reluctance, commissioned a 1. Warren readily agreed to write, with Stuart Latham becoming the programme's first producer. They retained the option of a final thirteenth episode in which Florizel Street would be bulldozed, to resolve the series if it wasn't successful. The programme was designed to be shown in the 7. Wednesday and Friday evenings which Biggles occupied until 1. October and which was then filled by two new eight- part serials by Granada: The Odd Man on Wednesdays, and an adaptation of H. G. Wells' Kipps on Fridays which was directed by Stuart Latham. Before it went into production, also under the leadership of Latham, the title was changed to Coronation Street, after Agnes the tea lady remarked that "Florizel" sounded like a brand of detergent. Studio 2 pictured in 2. Coronation Street was to be recorded at Granada Studios, and although it was set in a street of terraced houses the actual street set was to be built indoors, complete with drawn- on cobbles. To gain inspiration for the look of the street, set designer Denis Parkin visited the backstreets of Salford. Ultimately the layout of Coronation Street, and its row of terraced houses, was based on Archie Street in the Ordsall district of Salford. Archie Street was filmed and its image appeared in the title sequence of the programme for several years. There were notable differences between Coronation and Archie Street - notably, the Rovers Return Inn was included in the fictional street, to give the residents a place to meet and gossip. The indoor set wasn't to scale and the studio - Studio 2 at Granada's Quay Street headquarters in Manchester - was too small for the whole set to be erected at the same time. Recording inside the houses was also done in the same studio. The show's theme music, a corner piece, accompanied by a brass band plus clarinet and double bass, reminiscent of northern band music, was written by Eric Spear, who was paid £6 for its use. David Browning played the trumpet on the original recording of the theme, and was given the choice of either a royalty payment for each use of the theme on television, or a one- off payment at the time of recording. He opted for the one- off payment. Although it has been re- recorded in the past, and several remixes have been composed, the original theme tune is still used in the show today in its original form. The cast of Episodes 1 and 2 photographed on the first day of rehearsals - Monday 5th December 1. Coronation Street began its life with a cast of twenty- one actors and actresses. Reportedly, Tony Warren had visited local cemeteries and copied down the name on the headstones to use for the characters. Many of the characters Warren had created were written with specific actors in mind, and were written to be representative of the type of people one would find in a street like Coronation Street, with the crises they face reflecting those of their real world counterparts. A dry run of Tony Warren's scripts for Episodes 1 and 3 took place several weeks before the series was to begin recording. These pilot episodes differed slightly from the versions that would be seen by viewers, with some changes made to the cast and characters after they were recorded and screened within Granada. Central to the original set of characters were the Rovers landlady and landlord, snobbish Annie Walker, who thought herself a cut above the other residents of the Street, and her long- suffering husband Jack. Other main characters included idealistic student Ken Barlow, who had been to University and was now feeling ashamed of his roots, much to the disappointment of his father, hardworking postman Frank Barlow. The Barlow family - still in the show today - also included mother Ida Barlow and Ken's brother David Barlow. The remaining houses were inhabited by characters including glamorous "tart with a heart" Elsie Tanner and her wayward son Dennis, hairnet- wearing battleaxe Ena Sharples and her cronies, timid Minnie Caldwell and busybody Martha Longhurst, as well as grumpy pensioner Albert Tatlock, shy Corner Shop owner Florrie Lindley, bus driver and widower Harry Hewitt, his daughter Lucille, and pompous shopkeeper Leonard Swindley. Launch and early success. Edit. The first episode was broadcast live at 7. Friday, 9th December. ITV regions; Tyne Tees Television showed an episode of Highway Patrol while ATV's offering was an instalment of Wyatt Earp. The competition from the BBC was an edition of their evening magazine programme Tonight. In Manchester, the next episode of Coronation Street was recorded a quarter of an hour after the live first episode ended for broadcast the following Wednesday. This twice- weekly broadcasting pattern continued until March 1. Mondays and Wednesdays, with all episodes videotaped ahead of transmission. The 'live' aspect of the recording meant that there couldn't be any re- takes, so typically each scene would be set up in advance with the cameras at the centre so that one scene could follow the last with no delay. Actors would wait in position for their scene to begin. The series was introduced by a one- page article in the TV Times which mainly featured on Tony Warren but described the Street as "four miles from Manchester in any direction" and "it is home to the 2. It should also be noted that the same article described Ena Sharples as a "kindly ex- barmaid"!). Coronation Street caught on with viewers very quickly. The use of Northern English language and dialect was very rare on British television drama at the time, but although viewers identified with the "ordinary people" characters, the press did not take to the show, with the focus on everyday troubles of the working class being deemed uninteresting. Some complained that the accents were difficult to understand. After the first episode was shown, the Daily Mirror printed. The programme is doomed from the outset.. For there is little reality in this new serial, which apparently, we have to suffer twice a week."However Mary Crozier in The Guardian of 1. December said the programme.. Northern life which will probably prove extremely popular.."Coronation Street" with all its cliches has something funny and forthright about it.. Mr Warren has pinpointed phrase and accent, humour and oddity, and if can keep the mixture sharp and not put in too much treacle it should cook up very well."One week later, she said that the programme was. Lancashire backchat hits the authentic note."The following year, on 2. June, she made her often- misquoted prediction that the programme, "looks like running forever" in a general view of "Granadaland" in which she praised the programmes "authenticity" and the "tremendous care" with which it was made. The august Times first mentioned the programme in a rather snooty review of on- going serials in television in general in its issue of 1st August 1.
