Emmerdale Village's 500th anniversary

Emmerdale Village's 500th anniversary was a pivotal and historical episode for ITV soap opera Emmerdale. It first aired on 17 May 2007 on ITV1 in England and Wales, on UTV in Northern Ireland, STV in Scotland and on TV3 in the Republic of Ireland, simultaneously.

This was an hour long episode which was to bring to an end of the storyline, Who Killed Tom King? as the murderer was to finally break their silence. The episode was also to feature a much-loved character's life hang in the balance after a serious accident as well as very special appearance by operatic superstar Katherine Jenkins, appearing as herself to open the eventful village pageant. As the episode drew closer it was finally revealed that a village favourite would die unexpectedly.

Emmerdale Series Producer Kathleen Beedles signed off the much-anticipated reveal episode in which Tom King's killer would finally be uncovered.

At the courthouse the King boys, Jimmy, Matthew and Carl King, were waiting to stand trial for the murder of their father. As the investigation was developing it came to light that one or all three of Tom's sons killed him as they found fibres on the murder weapon that matched to what the boys were wearing the night Tom died. But since each of them got their suits from the same tailor, the police couldn't prove which one of them did it so they arrested them all in the hope that they would turn.
