About this deal

Additionally, Emmerdale superfans can get their hands on a new book charting the last five decades of the much-loved soap. Danny Miller is reprising his role as Aaron Dingle on a temporary basis for the 50th anniversary episodes. Tracy was last seen on screen at the start of the year, when she was written out due to Amy's real-life maternity leave. Towards the end of October, one resident of the village will be facing a bleak future as they deal with the terrifying prospect of life imprisonment. With an encyclopaedic knowledge that's been described as "disgusting and astounding in equal measure", and nested within the cast and crew, Tom is the ideal tour guide through 50 Years of Emmerdale.

He has served as an awards judge on numerous occasions for the likes of the BAFTA TV Awards, RTS Programme Awards and British Soap Awards. He has interviewed hundreds of soap stars over the years, from Bill Roache to Lacey Turner, and regularly visits the sets of Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks for behind-the-scenes trips and press events. A spokesperson said: “This one-off special documentary celebrating 50 years of Emmerdale tells the story of how a sleepy daytime afternoon series about rural folk became the award-winning, ratings-busting, peak-time drama that it is today.

Emmerdale fans are going to be treated to a special one-off documentary celebrating the legendary soap’s glorious 50 years. Calendar arrived safely in plastic-free packaging - which I've not seen before with a calendar, so kudos for that.

Each character, event, family and location is explored in exhaustive detail, with special features on Emmerdale legends, the show’s villains, births, marriages, deaths, and celebrity cameos, bringing all the highlights together with interviews and insights from cast and crew members past and present. Jane Hudson said: "Then there is a story that involves Nate, Sam and Belle, which is the one only Emmerdale can do and that's going to dominate quite a lot of the 50th as well. So she's involved because she's getting wrapped up in Will's life, a little too much than she should be. Way back in January this year, Emmerdale had teased the arrival of a baby in the 50th anniversary month.

Emmerdale's 50th anniversary is getting closer and the excitement has been building in recent weeks, with a collection of spoilers and teasers released to whet our appetites ahead of the big episodes. Will's wedding to Kim Tate will be a focal point of the 50th anniversary month, but there are sure to be fireworks when Harriet decides it's a good idea to confess her feelings. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Tom Parfitt's current role as archivist has positioned him at the nexus of Emmerdale's past and present; providing insight into its history, and guidance for its ever-expanding future. It just felt fitting to bring her back – that old soul, the person who knows the village the best, who can be a support to many different characters on many different levels.

But they'll come back and be at the heart of some really big stories that'll impact their lives, and not just their lives but the lives of the characters they leave behind. Emmerdale will celebrate its 50th birthday with an hour long episode on Sun 16th October, exactly 50 years since the programme first appeared on our screens. With an encyclopaedic knowledge that's been described as disgusting and astounding in equal measure, and nested within the cast and crew, Tom is the ideal tour guide through 50 Years of Emmerdale. With a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes secrets and anecdotes, the acclaimed cast will remember key moments from the last five decades.In an exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Hudson explained: "We always wanted to try and bring back some of our loved characters during the 50th.

Years of Emmerdale is a stunning and engrossing book, which will delight every fan of this iconic show. There are elements of the big storm week that I've not seen on a soap drama before and it's very exciting and nerve-wracking to be part of that. Jane Hudson added: "Kim will overhear Harriet declare undying love for Will, so obviously that will inspire a lot of fireworks.We are making sure that when our celebration month ends, it's really just the beginning of a whole new chapter, particularly for one of our families. The fallout continues in upcoming episodes, as Sandra's sidekick Terry breaks into Mill Cottage and tries to force Liv to retract her statement to the police. Asked recently about inevitable comparisons to other storms from Emmerdale's past, Hudson replied: "It's fair to say that every story has been done in soaps and we always come at it from a place where we think: 'How do we make it feel like this story has never been done? Celebrating 50 years since the show's creation, this book is packed with history, engrossing features, long lost imagery, and plenty of behind-the-scenes detail. Faith's terminal illness has led to heartbreaking scenes for the Dingle family recently and we can expect this storyline to take centre stage at the start of October.
