It says :-

A special one off episode of Corination Street showing it in the year 2050 has been produced to celebrate ITV's 50th anniversary - and Ken Barlow is still in the soap.

The Futuristic show features many of the current characters and had Ken marrying his NINTH wife

It is due to be aired at a glitzy anniversary bash in Manchester in December. And although there are no plans for it to air on our TV screens bosses ar granada have not ruled it out.

The spoof transports many of the much-loved Corrie charachters into bizarre plotlines.

Top of the bill is Ken, who becomes "Kendroid" a spoof of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator

In 2050. Ken is marrie to current soap starlet Tina O'Brien as Sarah-Lou PLatt - a matronly 68 year old.

Bur Ken still can't forget his one true love, Deirdre. In the episode, He keeps her skull on the bar of the Rovers Return - complete with her trademark sexy specs.

Meanwhile, jack Duckworth, played by Bill Tarmey, has won the lottery and has used his winnings to clone wife Vera 14 times.

It means he's got a Vera for every occation - whether it be as cook, cleaner, or just a drinking partner - keeping actress Liz Dawn busy.

Street loudmouth Cilla Brown has become addicted to plastic surgery with extreme results, while Betty looks exactly the same - as the show reveals that her hotpot has amazing anti-aging powers

And warring characters Eileen Grimshaw and Gail Platt are STILL squabbling over men, even on their walking frames.

Corrie spokesman said: "It's not been made as a transmittable item, it was just a bit fun for ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations and the results really are hilarious.

"The cast came in specially to film it and it was made for internal viewing at granada probably to be shown at our anniversary dinner in December.

"But we're certainly not ruling out that the public will eventually see it."

The 2050 actions is all set within Weatherfiels pub the rovers return, which was kitted out in space age style with funky red seats, orange and chrome stools and perspex tables.
