Coronation Street Omnibus facts for kids
Coronation Street Omnibus is a special television series from the UK. It's produced by ITV2 and brings together all the episodes from the main ITV show, Coronation Street, that aired during the week. Think of it like a marathon of your favorite show, so you can catch up on all the drama and stories in one go!
What is Coronation Street?
Coronation Street is one of the longest-running TV shows in the world! It's a British "soap opera," which means it tells ongoing stories about the lives of ordinary people living in a fictional town called Weatherfield. The show focuses on their daily lives, friendships, families, and challenges. It has been on TV for over 60 years, starting way back in 1960!
Why an Omnibus?
Because Coronation Street airs several times a week, it can be hard to keep up with every episode. The Coronation Street Omnibus was created so fans could watch all the week's episodes back-to-back. This makes it easy to follow the storylines and not miss any important moments. It's perfect for binge-watching!
Who Stars in the Show?
The Coronation Street Omnibus features all the same actors and characters you see in the regular Coronation Street episodes. This includes many familiar faces who have been on the show for a very long time, like William Roache (who plays Ken Barlow) and Helen Worth (who plays Gail Platt).
