"Emmerdale&amp;#039;s production team are building a new Woolpack set for the soap&amp;#039;s upcoming live episode, it has been revealed. The ITV1 drama has a live special lined up for its 40th anniversary in October, which will be shot entirely on-location at the programme&amp;#039;s village base.   Although Emmerdale&amp;#039;s village and studio-based interior sets are miles apart, show bosses are keen for The Woolpack to feature in the special episode. Series producer Stuart Blackburn told TV Times: &amp;quot;The Woolpack building in the village is actually a shell and we shoot the interior scenes in our studio in Leeds. Obviously, we can&amp;#039;t have the 40th birthday without the cast going into the pub, so we&amp;#039;re building the inside of The Woolpack in the real building!&amp;quot; The week of anniversary episodes is expected to span a 48-hour timeframe on screen. Blackburn continued: &amp;quot;There will be two very, very different weddings and there are two babies being born, though again the circumstances behind the two births are entirely different.  &amp;quot;Hopefully, we&amp;#039;ll have some of the funniest, most life-affirming and heart-warming scenes cut against the dark, destructive souls of some of our lead characters.&amp;quot; Emmerdale reaches its 40th anniversary on October 16.
