Which is the longest-running TV soap in the UK?

The question tests which UK soap has the longest run on air. Coronation Street began in 1960 and has been broadcast continuously since, so it has more years on screen than the others. EastEnders started in 1985, Emmerdale in 1972, and Hollyoaks in 1995, all later than Coronation Street. Longevity here means the total span of years a show has been on air, not its current popularity or number of episodes.
