Coronation Street: 0x44

Farewell Tina

As Michelle Keegan leaves the cast of Coronation Street after six eventful years, this documentary tells the story of the Salford-born actress who achieved stardom by playing the feisty, funny but ultimately fallible character of Tina McIntyre. For the very first time, the off-screen stories behind the dramatic on-screen plotlines are revealed, with contributions from Helen Worth and Jack P Shepherd. There is home video footage of Michelle in a school production playing Sporty Spice and a chance to watch her reaction to her original Coronation Street audition tape from 2007. Michelle’s parents reveal that she was a plain but rebellious teenager – not so very different from the character she would go on to play. Behind the scenes on the Corrie set Tina’s last appearances are filmed – watched by Michelle’s fiancé Mark Wright. Other cast members sharing their reminiscences include Chris Gascoyne, Beverley Callard, Ryan Thomas and Paula Lane.
