2. Coronation Street 《加冕街》

（1960年至今）

When scriptwriter Tony Warren pitched his kitchen-sink drama to Granada, who’d have thought it would still be going strong 55 years later – the world’s longest-running soap and central to ITV’s success? Half the nation watched Corrie at its peak and the cobbled streets around the Rovers Return are part of British culture.
當(dāng)編劇托尼?沃倫向英國格拉納達(dá)電視臺推介自己的這部肥皂劇時，誰能想到它在55年后依然勁頭不減，成為全世界播出時間最長的肥皂劇，為英國獨立電視臺的成功寫就了濃墨重彩的一筆？收視最高峰時，全國有一半的人在看這部劇，劇中場景Rovers Return酒吧附近的石子路現(xiàn)已成為英國文化的一部分。
