"A few years ago, we went a little bit Die Hard with Gary, Shona and the funfair. I absolutely loved that. It allowed us to do a thriller-ish conceptual trailer for it, so it was all very exciting.
"But we're right in our wheelhouse now with this Christmas. It's got loads of comedy, family fun and warmth. I cried twice in the viewing – and I'm not given to tears! It's really moving and lovely. It's not sad, but in a 'warm your cockles' way."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
