The magazine, unlike its 1980 counterpart Coronation Street 2000, contained no episode guide but instead had an eclectic series of articles and viewpoints about the then ten-year success of the programme. Central to the magazine were several pages of photographs of the cast in their character’s costumes on a supposed day trip to the since-demolished Belle Vue Zoo and Pleasure Gardens in East Manchester. Five TV Times photographers accompanied the cast, among whom was Arthur Leslie in one of his last public appearances for the programme before his unexpected death on 30th June - indeed, reference was made within the introductory article to that recent, sad event.
