Pat became the very first Coronation Street resident to be a subject of This Is Your Life when Eamonn surprised her by swapping places with her screen (and later real-life) husband Alan Browning, while recording a scene outside number 11 on the set of the soap opera.
Among Pat's guests are the soap's creator Tony Warren and comedian Sandy Powell.

Jack - who joined the soap in 1960 as an original cast member - was a reluctant subject when Eamonn surprised him on the set of the Rovers Return - his response being: 'Yes, well I'm going home!'
Among those greeting Jack at Thames Television's Euston Road Studios are actress Thora Hird and television producer Johnnie Hamp.

Betty was surprised as she arrived at London's Euston Station where Eamonn had disguised himself as a newspaper vendor - "I didn't recognise you with that awful hat on!"
Among those paying tribute to Betty - who had been a regular with the soap since 1969 - are actors Beryl Reid and Tony Britton.

Julie was also surprised at Euston Station when Eamonn - this time dressed as a waiter - greeted her with the help of her soap colleagues William Roache and Jack Howarth, and the Ilkeston Brass Band.
Violet Carson, who plays battleaxe Ena Sharples in the soap, was too ill to travel to London for the show, but sent Julie a telephone message.

Eamonn disguised himself as Santa Claus and enlisted the help of Norman Vaughan, Windsor Davies and Melvyn Hayes in order to surprise Peter in London's Leicester Square.
Peter - who was about to appear in pantomime with the aforementioned - was greeted by, among others, actor Leonard Rossiter.

Johnny was surprised by Eamonn - with the help of Pat Phoenix - in yet another central London location - this time the Punch and Judy pub in Covent Garden.
Johnny - who had played factory owner Mike Baldwin since 1976 - was reunited with his old drama teacher, Ruth Conti, and received recorded tributes from actors Samantha Eggar and Dirk Bogarde.

Eamonn - dressed as an Arab sheikh and accompanied by a camel - interrupted the recording of a charity appeal by the soap's cast to surprise William - who once served in the Middle East with the British Army. Among those paying tribute are comedian Norman Wisdom, broadcaster Arthur Marshall and impressionist Mike Yarwood.

Eamonn surprised the former variety comedian turned actor at London's Euston Station - with the help of long-time friend Joe Loss and his Orchestra.
Bill's guests include a fellow comedian who worked with him at Manchester's Hulme Hippodrome in the 1950s - Jill Summers - now playing his 'love interest' Phyllis in Coronation Street!

Roy was summoned back from holiday so Eamonn - disguised as a AA patrolman - could surprise him from under the bonnet of Julie Goodyear's supposedly broken down Rolls Royce somewhere outside Manchester.
On hearing the words 'This Is Your Life', Roy - who was initially furious at cutting short his holiday - retorted: "Oh no it isn't".

Michael's first visit to Coronation Street was to surprise Liz - which he did during the recording of a scene on the set of the Rovers Return.
Among those paying tribute to Liz - who first appeared in the soap in 1974 - are comedians Bernard Manning and Larry Grayson, who the actress had worked with in her earlier career as a nightclub singer.

Michael interrupted the filming of another scene - this time in the street's newsagent, The Kabin - to surprise Thelma - who first appeared in the soap in 1971.
Thelma's tribute includes a reunion with two former Coronation Street actresses: Madge Hindle and Anne Reid, while actor Richard Briers sends a filmed message.

Michael was back in the Rovers Return to surprise Bill, who had played the pub's cellarman regularly since 1983.

The show concludes with Bill singing his version of the song 'Wind Beneath My Wings'.

Jill's background in variety and comedy was celebrated with a guest list that includes actors John Inman and Beryl Reid and comedians Ken Dodd and Larry Grayson.

The man who started it all - the creator of Coronation Street - was surprised by Michael on the Rovers Return set - during a cast photo shoot to celebrate 35 years of the soap. Tony's tribute - recorded at Manchester's Granada Studios - home of the Street, includes a reunion with two former Street stars: Julie Goodyear and Jean Alexander.

Michael caught up with Sue - a regular cast member since 1985 - outside the Street's hair salon.
Her real-life husband - and former Street actor - Mark Eden is naturally a guest, while other guests include actors Donald Sinden and Elizabeth Spriggs, entertainer Anita Harris and - in a rare appearance - Dame Hilda Bracket's creator, Patrick Fyffe.

Bryan - who has played the Street's grocer since becoming a regular cast member in 1971 - was surprised by Michael while recording a scene at number 8 Coronation Street - the home of the Platts.
Bryan's show includes tributes from actor Paul Shane and an actress who regularly appeared on the Street over the years - Kathy Staff.

For a specially extended Christmas broadcast, Michael was back in the Rovers Return to surprise Anne - who has played the character of Deirdre since 1972.
A popular, emotional edition sees Anne greeted by, among others, Matthew Kelly, and reunited with her first Street husband Ray Langton, when actor Neville Buswell flew in from the USA to pay his tribute.

Denise - who appeared in the soap between 1997 and 2000, during which time her character became landlady of the Rovers Return - was surprised by Michael at Manchester's Piccadilly Station.
Among the guests are actors Rula Lenska and Rodney Bewes and former Street colleagues Phil Middlemiss and Lee Warburton.
