The cutting edge of Coronation Street fashion comes into focus as we take a look at the handbags and the gladrags that have graced the Weatherfield cobbles over the past 40 years. Ena's hairnet, Hilda's rollers, Bet's beehive, Deidre's glasses and Liz McDonald's minis are all here. We go behind the scenes in wardrobe with today's young cast and take a trip back in time with some of the Street's greatest fashion icons.

Controversial storylines that have featured on the soap over the years, including transsexuals, bigamists, arranged marriages, rape, teenage pregnancies and homosexuality. With contributions from Tina O'Brien, Bruno Langley, Shobna Gulati, Helen Worth, David Neilson, Julie Hesmondhalgh and Georgia Taylor

A look at the colourful street life of Mike Baldwin played by Johnny Briggs from 1976 to 2006.

Who would have thought that Corrie's whining teenager - Tracy Barlow - would grow up into soapland's public enemy number 1? When the Street's ""girl next door"" returned, she was transformed into a beautiful man-eater, bedding a string of men, including her Grandmother's boyfriend. But she took wickedness to new levels with her deception of resident odd couple, Roy and Hayley.

The couple that married for a bet, and staged a sham divorce now plan a remarriage on a scale only previously seen in Hollywood. We talk to Jonathan Wrather about his role in their divorce and Anne Kirkbride talks about the shock of a blood tie with the MacDonald clan.

As Michelle Keegan leaves the cast of Coronation Street after six eventful years, this documentary tells the story of the Salford-born actress who achieved stardom by playing the feisty, funny but ultimately fallible character of Tina McIntyre. For the very first time, the off-screen stories behind the dramatic on-screen plotlines are revealed, with contributions from Helen Worth and Jack P Shepherd. There is home video footage of Michelle in a school production playing Sporty Spice and a chance to watch her reaction to her original Coronation Street audition tape from 2007. Michelle's parents reveal that she was a plain but rebellious teenager - not so very different from the character she would go on to play. Behind the scenes on the Corrie set Tina's last appearances are filmed - watched by Michelle's fiancé Mark Wright. Other cast members sharing their reminiscences include Chris Gascoyne, Beverley Callard, Ryan Thomas and Paula Lane.

Documentary tribute to Helen Worth, whose character Gail has been a major figure in Coronation Street since 1974. Forty years ago, Helen was brought in as a glamorous young character to freshen up the Street with Cheryl Murray, who played Suzie Birchall. Amanda Barrie, who played Alma Halliwell, meets up with Helen in the Street's cafe and actor Brian Capron, alias Gail's former husband - and serial killer Richard Hillman - returns to the cobbles to recall the storyline that rocked a nation. The programme tracks Gail's disastrous love life and marriages, examines her relationship with son from hell David and focuses on one of the Street's greatest rivalries - Gail and Eileen. Sue Nicholls reveals how Helen sends her a mother's day card every year, and there are contributions from other cast members past and present including Jack P Shepherd, Paula Lane, Sue Cleaver, Ben Price and Tina O'Brien, and crew Stuart Blackburn, Kieran Roberts and Martin Sterling. Narrated by Thelma Barlow.
