Emmerdale Silver Celebration

Emmerdale Silver Celebration is a special programme marking Emmerdale's 25th anniversary. In 1997, Emmerdale celebrated its silver jubilee year and increased its output to three episodes a week. The show moved its outdoor filming to a purpose-built village set on the Harewood Estate which was opened by John Major. Cast members past and present reminisce with presenter Richard Whiteley, who takes a walk around the large set and even manages to pull a few pints in The Woolpack.
