'Emmerdale' unveils 40th anniversary preview trailer - video

Emmerdale has released a special trailer to promote its 40th anniversary week next month.

To be screened on ITV1 from now until October 15, the preview features the soap's popular characters lined up on the stormy Dales.



Major characters featured include a smug-faced Cain Dingle and couple Jai and Charity Sharma.

Chas Dingle and Dan Spencer stand alongside Debbie Dingle and Cameron Murray, while "evil" Carl King stands forlorn.

Finally, Declan Macey and Katie Sugden are seen kissing to the disgust of Declan's half-sister Megan.

Emmerdale's birthday week will also feature an hour-long live episode, for which both a birth and a death have been confirmed.
