Coronation Street - Canadian Connection

CORONATION STREET is the longest running TV drama in Canada!  It's been on Canadian television for nearly 40 years.  Entire families  - as well as members of the Canadian Navy ! - regularly watch the show together.
 
Every year Coronation Street is celebrated at the British Isles Show in Toronto!   During the 3 day celebration thousands of Canadians line up (for up to 5 hours) just to get a few moments with the cast members!  And every year hundreds of Canadians visit Manchester to see and walk down the streets where the show is filmed!

Canada is part of the British Comonwealth but is there more to this connection?
