In the few starting episodes of Coronation Street there were mostly only white people on set because Britain wasn't that much of a multi-cultural society. Money was tough at this time, most people were working class. The main age group was middle age men/women, because that's who it was aimed at. How women were treated was different because they were treated at second class citizens, it were aimed at mostly men of working class which is seen as sexism now. The only issue really was arguments between men and women and married life.
In newer episodes there were more people coming out and being gay, not caring what people thought of them and be equals. Although they were viewed as quite immature and clean, though this was not always true. There was quite a lot of people actually listening the show passively watching it, whilst most people actively watch it all depending on what they think about the show.
In the newest episodes there are more people from different cultures and different sexualities compared to the first episodes because before there wasn't as many foreign people in our country to act. The fact that Coronation Street is more multi-cultural it seems more realistic and true to England. With more diverse people in the show it would relate to more viewers. Now we would get younger viewers due to the fact that there are young actors in the show, so that more people have a section that they will seem familiar to their life.
