New Coronation Street Theme Tune
We are delighted to announce plans to record a new version of the show’s iconic theme tune - with cast members singing specially written lyrics.
In the exclusive video above Producer Kate Oates reveals that for the first time the opening titles will no longer be purely instrumental.
Executive producer Kieran Roberts also explains that the decision was partly driven by the abundance of great singers in the cast.
Behind the scenes footage shows Faye Brookes, Cath Tyldesley and Shayne Ward recording the new theme tune and talking about how thrilled they are to be part of such an historic moment in the programme’s 56 year history.
The lyrics have been written to reflect the show’s unique DNA and include the lines:
