THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF CORONATION STREET NOW IN PAPERBACK.
Coronation Street was reluctantly commissioned in 1960 as a
twice-weekly stop-gap until a new programme could be found to fill
its airtime. Half a century later, the gritty working class serial
broadcasts five times per week and remains one of the television
schedules' biggest ratings-pullers. Sean Egan has been granted
access to the show's creators, producers, directors, writers and
actors. With their aid, he has constructed a fascinating account of
how Coronation Street became the most successful drama in the
history of UK television. Acclaim for 50 Years of Coronation
Street: The (Very) Unofficial Story. "An invaluable guide to the
making of a television classic" - Michael Cox, former Coronation
Street director and producer. "It rings very true, and there are
some fascinating quotes from many old colleagues. A remarkable
piece of work" - John Finch, former Coronation Street scriptwriter
and producer. "Diligent and astonishingly detailed research has led
to an absorbing narrative" - Stan Barstow, author of A Kind of
Loving, former Coronation Street consultant. "Extremely accurate in
its detail" - coronationstreet.wikia.com. "Lively unofficial
history" - Financial Times. Londoner Sean Egan has contributed to,
among others, Billboard, Book Collector, Classic Rock, Record
Collector, Tennis World, Total Film, Uncut and RollingStone.com. He
has written or edited 22 books, including works on The Beatles,
Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Manchester United and Tarzan. His
critically acclaimed novel Sick of Being Me was published in 2003,
while his 2008 collection of short stories Don't Mess with the Best
carried cover endorsements from Booker Prize winners Stanley
Middleton and David Storey.
