Emmerdale's new ITV time and new Woolpack set as stars excited for big changes

Emmerdale’s stars have discussed the programme’s move to a new timeslot and an exciting new set for the ITV soap.

From tonight, Monday, March 7 - viewers of Emmerdale will be watching the programme from 7.30pm as part of a schedule shake-up from ITV.

This is because ITV news will now be an hour-long programme running between 6.30pm and 7.30pm - Monday to Friday.

Ash Palmisciano, who plays Matty Barton, said: "Judging from my mum – she's chuffed to bits because it's going to give her time to get home, get the dinner cooked, ready in time to watch at 7.30pm.

"Since the 70s it's been seven o'clock so it's a huge change but it's going to be a good one. I think it's going to give people more time to sit down and watch it."

The change also coincides with a new set for Emmerdale as fans will get to see a new look for the village’s legendary pub The Woolpack.

As fans know it was destroyed in a dramatic Christmas fire.

Tony Audenshaw, who plays Bob Hope, said: " It is exciting. It looks brilliant in there.

"We've really enjoyed filming in there, we've got some great stories and it's wonderful to be back in the pub."
