Season 20

By 1991 the Yorkshire serial has been on air two decades — Emmerdale (1972), Season 20, watch online on iFILM, and the village goes on much as before.

This twentieth run keeps the focus tight on the families of the Dales: a courtship here, a grievance over land there, the slow churn of village gossip. Soaps live in the small print, and the season fills its days with ordinary weather and ordinary trouble. Newcomers can start almost anywhere; regulars will catch the threads at once.
