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(guó)格拉納達(dá)電視臺(tái)推介自己的這部肥皂劇時(shí)，誰(shuí)能想到它在55年后依然勁頭不減，成為全世界播出時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的肥皂劇，為英國(guó)獨(dú)立電視臺(tái)的成功寫(xiě)就了濃墨重彩的一筆？收視最高峰時(shí)，全國(guó)有一半的人在看這部劇，劇中場(chǎng)景Rovers Return酒吧附近的石子路現(xiàn)已成為英國(guó)文化的一部分。
