Emmerdale is a British soap opera set in a fictional Yorkshire village of the same name. Much of the action in this series is set in the village pub, The Woolpack. It has been produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on the ITV network since its inception in 1972. It was formerly known as Emmerdale Farm
In ratings terms, it ranks high in the British popularity stakes, being outdone regularly only by the two major mainstream British soaps, Eastenders and Coronation Street.
The programme is also popular in Sweden where it has been shown since the 1970s (since 1994 on commercial channel TV4), and in Finland where it is currently aired five days a week by MTV3.
Emmerdale was also the title of the debut album by The Cardigans.
