Coronation Street is celebrating its landmark 10,000th episode with an hour-long visit to the cobbles.
The special bumper-sized episode will air on Friday, February 7 at 7.30pm.
Previously, Corrie boss Iain MacLeod revealed that the show was intending to mark its 10,000th episode with "something classic Corrie that has a comedic and character driven vibe".

The cast was also spotted filming scenes involving an ambulance in Blackpool which are expected to air next month.
Paparazzi photographs show that Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews), Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Rita Tanner (Barbara Knox) are all involved in the story.

Corrie will also be celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, with MacLeod promising "something more explosive".
"The expectation from the audience now with anniversaries isn't necessarily death and destruction, but that a spectacle is attached to it," he told Inside Soap.
"We have some fairly novel ideas that we are exploring at the moment, so that should be exciting."
The soap previously celebrated its 50th anniversary with a week of episodes revolving around a tram crash, ending with a 60-minute live broadcast.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
