Emmerdale
Created by Kevin Laffan
On ITV1, ITV Yorkshire
A long-running British soap opera rooted in Yorkshire village life, balancing domestic warmth and community connection against the steady churn of melodrama, affairs, and violence.
The lives of several families in the Yorkshire Dales revolve around a farm and the nearby village. With murders, affairs, lies, deceit, laughter and tears, it's all there in the village.
