ITV have confirmed a special 'Coronation Street' documentary, 'Queens of the Street'.
Beverley Callard
The one-hour special will air next month as part of the ITV soap's 60th anniversary week, and will honour the legendary women who have taken to the cobbles over the last six decades, including the likes of Beverley Callard (Liz McDonald).
ITV said the documentary will take viewers "on a trip down memory lane through a combination of classic clips and commentary from 'Coronation Street' icons".
Beverley - who is taking part in this year's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' - recently predicted 'Corrie' will remain on air for 100 years.
When asked if she thinks the soap will run long enough to see its 100th anniversary, the 63-year-old actress - who has played Liz on and off since 1984 - said: "That would be amazing. I don’t see any reason why not.
"It depends on the accountants, but the show should be put before anything. If I were in control, that’s what I would try to do. I think it will continue."
Beverley has described 'Corrie' as a "matriarchal show", complete with "lionesses" who "would kill for their families".
She added: "Today, people not tuning in on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 7.30pm can watch it when they feel like watching. These days, the show’s aims are different. It has to evolve but it will keep going for a very long time.
"When it started, they said, ‘It won’t last very long’. But the secret, and what they have to keep going, more than anything, is that it’s a matriarchal show - and that’s what [its late creator] Tony Warren captured.
"Tony knew women, he really got that. They were sirens who would literally kill. They were like lionesses, they would kill for their families."
