I think they should have tried to move the show to an exterior set in 1976. The set was planned in 1989 but not built until 1997 as the ITV executives and such did not feel the tourism problem was substantial enough. However, having a set would have allowed the show to do more, and probably would have cost less. They would be able to film whenever they want and it wouldn't be a hassle keeping people out of shots. Coronation Street had sets right from the start. If they couldn't afford to buy a set for Emmerdale Farm they should have moved the time slot in 1985, then they might have had made more money and the show probably would have gained more popularity.
