@@alfienaylor1587 I think the overall vibe of Corrie was lighter back then even with the occasional serial killer most of the characters seemed happy now everyone is just bleak
kid was probably confused why he was being called joshua when his name's ben. funny how he disappeared after than. no concern he could have gone down a sink hole.
“And in tonight’s episode Deirdre has some disturbing news, Ivy has an unexpected visitor, while Fred has a sinking feeling, all coming up in half an hour here on ITV”
Sad to hear the real John Savident passed away. As it happens a sink hole caused the road some old friends were living on to collapse. It very nearly brought their house down on top of them! It turns out there used to be a brickworks nearby and the street was over an old claypit that started to cave in.
Yes but the whole in Platts garden & underneath their house, has now been filled with foam!. 😏 I just wonder why this foams, not now clogging up the streets whole sewage system!. 😉
Fred would have had more luck telling Joshua to go ask for cookies or something. Joshua doesn't understand why the ground shouldn't be eating Fred- probably thinks it is a game
It's emotional to watch Fred like this. My grandad looked and sounded just like Fred, he even sung that very same song to me... it's uncanny. Love it, but miss him every day, as well as the character.. ❤
@@bambiesdoomsday it's crazy because I just saw the news, do you think I may of spoke his death into existence 12 days ago when I made the original comment?
This is what coronation street should be about humour today’s Corrie is awful I stop watching it 7 years ago put it out of its misery and take off the air
since when did uncle fred fall down a chuffin hole in the garden!!?? i used to watch it every day when fred was in it and i never recall him falling down a sink hole LOL
The way Audrey runs out saying there’s always something with him as if he falls through sinkholes on a daily basis 😂
This creased me 😂😂
@@gemcullen5139RIP.
She meant other things happen to him.
@@danny_long_legsno shit
@@danny_long_legsno sh*t
RIP John Savident. A fine actor, I say, a fine actor.
It's just acting, they got him out of the sink hole after the scene.
@@gorgolytracist
Rest in peace!! He was indeed a fine actor. He will be missed!

Hello little baby from Fred elliot
Fred was the best character Corrie ever had !! “HELLO LITTLE BUDGIE”
I say, little budgie, I say
He passed recently.
I can't get out I say I can't get out.
Sam kik you out off here
" I say I say I say Ashley can you lend me a hand ?"
Forever chasing Audrey, who as ever remains unimpressed. "I've fallen down a sink hole. I say! I've fallen down a sink hole."
What is it with Corrie and bloomin sinkholes?! 😂
LOOOOL
Had to be one of the platts haha
What I have discovered from looking back on the "classic" episodes on ITV3 is that they reuse a lot of the same ideas after some time.
@@bhangrafan4480 give it a few months and the tram will no doubt plough into Dev’s shop again
@@BossySwan 🤣🤣🤣
A piece of my childhood gone. Thank you John, always appreciated seeing you on Corrie.
When Corrie had a sense of humor not like the show it is today its still good today but much more darker storylines
There was a dark storyline ongoing at that time, the Killer Katy one.
@@alfienaylor1587 I think the overall vibe of Corrie was lighter back then even with the occasional serial killer most of the characters seemed happy now everyone is just bleak
@@unknown_7148 well said and true
@@unknown_7148yes that’s right. It was more natural. That’s why I prefer old Corrie to modern Corrie
I agree. I haven't watched corrie for 4 or 5 years now because the humor isn't the same anymore, and the storylines just go on forever.
She comes out with a cup of tea 🤣
Rest in peace to a legend ❤
“Go and get your auntie Audrey”
Josh standing there: 👁👃👁
kid was probably confused why he was being called joshua when his name's ben. funny how he disappeared after than. no concern he could have gone down a sink hole.
Classic Corrie. I SAY CLASSIC CORRIE ! I am still literally laughing out really loud whenever I see this scene 😂.
“And in tonight’s episode Deirdre has some disturbing news, Ivy has an unexpected visitor, while Fred has a sinking feeling, all coming up in half an hour here on ITV”
I love it when he says “go and get your auntie Audrey “ to Joshua so friendly like that in his voice.
Rest in peace I say rest in peace! 😢
1:59 acting at its finest .. RIP John ❤

This is too funny 🤣 Fred is such a legend, he's up there with Blanche
How he's only just died? Did you think he died years ago of a heart attack?
@@DaleSteel That, or Fred may have died from either a stroke or a heart break.
@adam2.075 character died in 2006. Actor died shortly after. Many people clearly remember it happening.
Stay there? He can't go anywhere!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pay attention! How can you say that to a toddler 😂
If I was a character on this scene I’d be laughing the whole way through 😂😂😂
RIP. Such a great actor. A legend.
"What have you done to my lawn?!?" 😅😅
I seriously lost it when he said pay attention 😂
I haven't laughed so much in ages! 😂😂😂
I miss Fred !! 😂😂😜
This is so funny I couldn't stop laughing
How's it going Steve mate jesus god bless lad
And yet there is a sink hole in the platts back garden now.
Yes but the whole in Platts garden & underneath their house, has now been filled with foam!. 😏
I just wonder why this foams, not now clogging up the streets whole sewage system!. 😉
Been watching the re runs of corrie in the background whilst working. And this man is an absolute legend haha
Thank you very much for the upload.
I don't think I ever saw this scene, as I definitely don't remember it.
Hands down best character in any soap. RIP an absolute legend.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
ikr
I agree I say I agree
It was brilliant, I say it was brilliant
.
Sam I do not wont you here
R.I.P to John Savident, the actor who played him :(
Rip John Savident
This is comedy gold!
What have you done to my lawn? 🤣🤣
Fred would have had more luck telling Joshua to go ask for cookies or something. Joshua doesn't understand why the ground shouldn't be eating Fred- probably thinks it is a game

Is Fred dead?
@@LonDonTaylor. yes, the character died in 2006 and the actor died just now
@@bambiesdoomsday it's crazy because I just saw the news, do you think I may of spoke his death into existence 12 days ago when I made the original comment?

@ellie8263 f
He dies around 2006 in real life of heart attack many ppl remember it happening.
Rest in peace I say rest in peace
Rest in peace Fred Elliot a say rest in peace.
The only similarity to today's coronation Street is the sinkhole...
What gets me is he always reacts before something happens, warrrrrrrrahhhh then he falls 2 seconds later 😂😂😂😂
Fred looks like an angel 😇 comes fallen down from the clouds
Rest in peace John Savident. 🙏
RIP John. A class act 👍
1:19 - I shall call the fire brigade....Stay THERE!!!😂😂
Reminds me of the godfather last death scene in the tomato plants
R.I.P John Savident. Really loved watching you on the classic Corries.
Gold! Making me nervous and laugh at the same time!
John Savident as Fred Elliott has got his Barnsley Yorkshire accent.
It's what your lawn's done to me 😂
He is funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Stay there"
1:23 his face is like "did you just say that"
"what have you done to my lawn?" 🤣R.I.P. John Savident
If he had lived, he could have played the next James Bond.
RIP John Savident 1938-2024
Love Fred Elliott
Rest in Peace I said rest in peace John Savident
Corrie and sinkholes don’t get along lol 😂
Yes I would call the Fire Brigade Audrey. Hurry the hell up!
Fred Elliott legend
Back in good days in corrie
I love Fred Elliot
Fireman :- "calm down please sir" Fred - "Calm down?! You should try bein in this flamin' hole nevermind calming down!!" hahah
The sinkhole is very dangerous and very hazardous.
So sadly missed
That thumbnail looks like Phil Mitchell's trying his hardest to climb out of a manhole.
Why don’t I remember this?
As a kid fred Elliot was what i imagine Wallace from wallace and gromit would look like IRL
RIP 💔
RIP, John "Fred Elliott" Savident. They don't make class actors like you anymore. We'll miss you as Fred the Butcher.
I haven't laughed this hard in ages😂😂😂
HELP! Thou has fallen down a hole, AH SAY THOU HAS FALLEN DOWN AN 'OLE!
RIP Fred, I said RIP Fred
After seeing so many clips of people actually falling or getting trapped in sinkholes I would be terrified not laughing 😮
Audrey Roberts hasn't changed at all in 40 years. That's no compliment, it's bloody weird. 🤔
Unlucky Alf
Rest in peace 🙏 I say Rest in peace 🙏
RIP John ☹️
