The Coronation St catch up guide

As you will already know, Coronation St in New Zealand is finally catching up with its timeline in the UK.

This change takes place the week commencing June 11, with a 2-hour recap special on storylines playing Sunday June 10. TVNZ's primetime episodes will air one week behind Britain on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening at 9.30pm.

Don't panic though, TVNZ One will not be skipping two years of Coro goodness, instead the 2016 series will continue to play in daytime, so there will be two streams: people can choose if they want to catch up to the 2018 season, or stay on the original 2016 season. OnDemand will have catch up available for both.

But if you aren't going be able to catch those extra daytime screenings, we have a comprehensive guide of what's going on in the UK right now, so you'll be caught up for those fresh episodes.
