Line 8:
Seen as something of a television version of [[The Archers]], albeit set among bluff northern types rather than well-heeled country folk, the series received a dramatic [[Retool]] during the early 1990s. Starting with the name change, more and more classic "soap opera" elements were introduced, but the series was still in the shadow of its more illustrious rivals ''[[Coronation Street]]'' and ''[[Eastenders]]'' - until 1993, when writers had a plane crash onto the Woolpack, drawing in 18 million viewers.
 
The plane crash storyline proved so popular that Emmerdale in the last 15 years has become a rather dangerous place to live. In the 20 years before the crash, 21 characters had been killed off. Since the crash, the body count currently{{when}} stands at 46 - seven of them in 2006 alone.
