The former gathers the show's creators, original stars, and other luminaries to discuss\nCoronation Street's deep and sustained impact on pop culture, its early and realistic reflections of northern English society, and the ways in which the series' penetration of class barriers set the stage for so-called kitchen sink dramas (e.g.,\nSaturday Night and Sunday Morning) in British cinema. All very interesting, but seeing the first live-broadcast shows themselves is a real eye-opener. Written with remarkable fluidity and strengthened by textured dialogue and seamless performances,\nCoronation Street today looks not only like a prototype for London's nastier evening soap,\nEastenders, but such gritty ensemble American programs from the '70s as\nHill Street Blues.\n--Tom Keogh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 054961619696\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0054961619696\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45932706299938,"sku":"A8-47D0-QDQ8","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51ERTD7Z59L.jpg?v=1783578447","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/this-is-coronation-street","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
