Emmerdale will air a special one off hour-long episode to mark the soap's 50th anniversary, it has been confirmed.
ITV announced that the 60-minute instalment will air on Sunday 16 October, exactly 50 years to the day since the programme first appeared on TV screens.
To celebrate the news, Emmerdale has unveiled its official cast photograph taken earlier this year outside the Woolpack pub in the village in Yorkshire.
