A new drama charts the shaky beginnings of Britain's most treasured soap. It's 1960 and a new programme in development at Granada is giving the bigwigs cold feet. Florizel Street is a twice-weekly drama about life in the backstreets of Manchester, and the brainchild of a cocky 23-year-old local scriptwriter called Tony Warren. He has created a cast of characters including battleaxe Ena Sharples, tart-with-a-heart Elsie Tanner and snobbish pub landlady Annie Walker, and the feeling on the studio floor is that the prodigy has created something very special. But will they be able to persuade the suits upstairs? This one-off drama looks at Corrie's humble beginnings, and features a host of big names, including Jessie Wallace as Pat Phoenix, Lynda Baron as Violet Carson and Celia Imrie as Annie Walker. We caught up with David Dawson, who plays Tony Warren, and Jane Horrocks, who stars as formidable casting director Margaret Morris
