This nostalgic special reminds us of some of the big stars who’ve graced the cobbles of Coronation Street over the past 49 years. They range from established names – such as Sir Ian McKellen, Maureen Lipman, Status Quo and Peter Kay – to those, such as Kevin Whately, Zoe Lucker, Sir Ben Kingsley and Spice Girl Mel B – whose big break was yet to come.
