The excitement doesn't stop there! Alongside this early release, ITVX is also showcasing a special collection titled "Stars of the Soaps.” This will feature content starring our beloved front-runners of the small screen, such as Suranne Jones and Katherine Kelly, reinforcing the close-knit community of talent that thrives in British television drama. Adding to the allure, viewers will also get a chance to watch "Nolly,” a biopic by the legendary Russell T Davies about television icon Noele Gordon that stars Helena Bonham Carter. There’s never been a better time to be a fan!

As we prepare ourselves for early morning soap binges, let’s not forget that Corrie and Emmerdale aren't just shows; they are national treasures that have brought families together for decades. Did you know that Coronation Street first aired in 1960 and has since become one of the world’s longest-running scripted television programmes? And let’s take a moment to appreciate Emmerdale—originally known as Emmerdale Farm—starting its journey in 1972 and showcasing rural life with a sprinkle of scandal ever since! So set your alarms, grab your breakfast, and prepare for early morning entertainment like never before!
