Emmerdale, known as Emmerdale Farm until 1989, is a British soap opera that has aired on ITV 1 since 1972. Set in the fictional village of Emmerdale (known as Beckindale until 1994) in North Yorkshire, England, the show was created by Kevin Laffan, with Keith Richardson serving as Executive Producer since 1986 and Anita Turner as Series Producer from January 2008. Her first produced episode aired on Monday March 3, 2008.
Emmerdale is the third most popular soap opera on British television, behind EastEnders and Coronation Street. The series is produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on the ITV network, and was first aired on 16 October 1972. It was originally conceived and broadcast as a daytime programme in an afternoon slot, moving to its current position as an early evening programme in 1978 in most ITV regions. Anglia and Thames followed suit in the 1980s. Emmerdale is shown from Monday to Friday at 19:00 on ITV. Every episode lasts 30 minutes, except the Tuesday edition, which lasts one hour. Repeat episodes and the omnibus of the show can be seen on ITV2.
October 2007 saw Emmerdale celebrate its 35th anniversary in dramatic style with a huge explosion ripping through Annie's Cottage caused by Victoria Sugden pouring petrol over the furniture after demanding to know who had killed her mother Sarah Sugden, seven years previously. In June 2008, Emmerdale celebrated its 5000th episode with the marriage of Eric Pollard and Val Lambert.
