We speak to the street's biggest love rats and go behind the scenes of the biggest story lines and take a look at the good, the bad and the smooth love cheats.

Villains: For the past 43 years, Coronation Street has been Britain's favourite and best-loved soap. But it has also been a very dangerous place to live! In a street of just 10 houses, a couple of shops and a pub, there has been an outrageous level of crime and violence. Behind this law breaking are a ruthless band of characters, the Coronation Street villains.

Tracy Barlow Exposed: Who would have thought that Corrie's whining teenager - Tracy Barlow - would grow up into soapland's public enemy number 1?

Hunks Tears, heartbreaks and love triangles: These street romeos are always central to the most powerful storylines. We take a look at the hunks of yesteryear... from macho mechanics to fashionable factory lads.

Through a riveting mix of archive, we'll see the snogs, the sex and the slaps and hear how they cope with the fame and the adoring fans.

In Laws/Outlaws: It takes a lot to beat Coronation Street when it comes to dysfunctional families...

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.
