==Summary==
From the Network website:
:To celebrate the 35th anniversary of England’s first rural-based soap opera and one of the nation’s most popular programmes, Network is proud to present some of the strongest and most memorable episodes of the last twenty years. As well as the series-defining moment of the plane crash, you can thrill again to such storylines as Kim Tate leaving Emmerdale, Louise killing Ray, The Storm and the hostage situation at Home Farm which costs Shirley Turner her life. A regular recipient of awards, Emmerdale’s BAFTA nomination for Best Continuing Drama in 2007 ably demonstrates that it shows no sign of stopping yet. Here’s to another 35 years!
