How marvelous to have all these episodes at our finger tips. Thank you so so much for these wonderful episodes, I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting in.

I am watching all these years for the third time!!!! Corrie Street really went downhill in the 90s. I have the great privilege of watching the 60s, 70s and 80s episodes.
@paul frost Yes, the three of them characters left in 1984. The actors who played Albert Tatlock and Stan Ogden died, and of course Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) died in 1986. Elsie left in January 1984, Albert died in March, while Stan died in November.
The Ken Barlow School of Journalism: or How to Start a New Job and Make Enemies of Management and Customers Alike in One Easy Step: 1. Have an agenda to destroy an old love rival. 2. Have a do-gooding social conscience guaranteed to aggravate everyone except Emily and Mavis. 3. Just be Ken Barlow.
@@paullynton-green6570 He left. He didn't want his character getting married, he thought it was against what would work and didn't want to break up the trio of Hilda, Stan and himself. He was brought in as Bernard Yeoun's (Stan) health was failing.
Poor Bernard Youens, he could hardly talk coherently at this stage, it would have been better if they’d preserved his dignity and given him a smaller part.
He wanted to carry on. But looking at the likes of him and Jack Howarth (Albert Tatlock) by now it is clear they weren't much longer for this world. And they weren't.
They brought Eddie in as the lodger to take pressure off him, but that only lasted a while. Over time, Jack and Vera Duckworth slowly replaced Stan and Hilda as the street's comedy couple.
It's funny how when binge watching these episodes the things I notice that I didn't really notice before. What a nasty vile character Fred Gee was. And just how boring Ken Barlow's scenes were. I realised of course that Ken was boring but not exactly how much.
I read in the Corrie fandom page that Ken was actually going to be sacked in & about 1981/2 after a poll in a paper 🗞(& other reasons) saying that he was boring, snooty,pompous & totally wooden & uninteresting…they didn’t hold back! Bill Roache was deeply saddened & hurt & pleaded to Bill Podmore to give him a more meaty,gritty storylines & they agreed resulting in the Ken, Deirdre & Mike love triangle 🔺& look at him now 40 years later same house…….same boring storylines! 😆
Watching these in chronological order and wallowing in the memories, the witty well written scripts and the skilled acting. Today's Currie is so.over the top, murders, kidnappings, assorted acts of violence, these episodes are too subtle and nuanced for.today's audiences
I think the whole premise of soaps doesn't really work these days. The UK ones were based on small, fairly inward looking and socially conservative communities where people didn't really go anywhere and spent a lot of their time gossiping about each other. There are certainly still some people like that, but they do it all on Facebook.
@@shaunie57you're definitely not paying attention then! All they seemed to do was spread malicious gossip about each other. People definitely weren't any nice back then, especially if you were somehow "different" - they were often downright nasty.
Loving these classic Coronation Street episodes thank you,one thing I dont understand is the layout of the Rovers I mean the Select part of the bar were the wedding is should be out on the street if you look at the Rovers from the outside
That gorgeous deep anthracite colour of paint thats on the hallway & stairs newell posts in Deirdre & Ken house is almost the exact colour of paint i once used Years ago Id gone to a jumble sale in quite a posh area & found 2 large tins of unopened paint on the Bric a Brac stall It was by a company from the Midlands i think or Wolverhampton called Manders Paints & the colour was called ANTELOPE I absolutely loved the colour, both in the pot & when it dried on the wall It had a soft satin sheen & i had 3 walls in my bedroom painted in this Antelope & the 4th wall in Antique Cream The effect was sensational So much so, i painted some main areas downstairs too. I wish i could find this colour again! Im not sure if the company exists anymore or was taken over But it was about 1978 so chances its still being manufactured are slim. Im pretty sure the colour is exactly the same though! I loved it way back then & while decorating styles & colours change radically & what we once loved, we find many years hence, they are revolting But after seeing " my " colour on Deirdres hall & stairs, im still very impressed with it & would still use it now! Its just so unusual & goes with so many other colours I remember having this beautiful deep Raspberry Wild Satin Eiderdown & Counterpane on my bed & it was extremely complimentary with the Antelope Painted walls. Regards 🇬🇧👧
It's odd in the Rovers now with no Annie Walker . The way the characters talk about her is strange because you expect her to turn around any minute. Another thing is the camera angles , from the opposite side of the floor.
It was a shame that Annie never returned even just for a proper send off. Some of Corrie's memorable characters never got a proper final episode. Ena and Minnie are two characters that never said their goodbyes to the street also.
Seems like there were a lot of newcomers in 1983, Percy, Kevin, Terry and Curly all go on to be regular characters for many years: Also sadly a lot of popular characters leaving 😢
I remember this episode and have many memories watching this as a teenager with my mum, I’m so happy 😁 for Eddie and Marion, i love ❤️ the old ones of Corrie better than today
1:30:47 is this just an edit glitch or am I missing a point? Love these old episodes of Corrie. When it was at its finest, in my opinion. Love seeing all the shots from the old exterior set. It breaks my heart that it no longer exists. All of those iconic memories and people who walked down them over the years. All of that history just gone. 💔
I’ve been in Connecticut since 1967 from Ireland as there wasn’t much work , but around 2011 I got married again but unfortunately I got Lyme disease and Babesious And I have spent 11 years deadly sick . Thank goodness for Corrie I have watched it from the beginning to 1999 . All my favorites were dying off sadly .it is great company to have while you lay in bed . Sick now I just got bitten again by a tick and have Lyme again . But I just wouldn’t watch Corrie from the 2000 as I don’t like it much I miss the humor .
@@francesgillotti1378 Oh, my goodness. I’m so sorry you’ve been so ill. That must be a lot to deal with. I’m glad you’ve been able to enjoy the old episodes of Coronation Street!

I agree many thanks for all your time and effort that you must have put in to upload all these episodes. I am really enjoying re watching all these classic corries from the80,s
I couldn't stand Des Foster at the time, but now I think he might have made an interesting full-time addition to the cast. Him and Sam Kelly's very funny character made a pretty good double act.

At 2:56:40 Stan is holding his birth cert. Shame they never showed up a close up, but going by info in the serial and in books about the show, the cert should have said 17 May 1919, and his parents were Isaiah Ogden and Mary Ogden (Nee Pearson). A Corrie book from 1987 says Stan's mother Mary was a Pearson by birth.
Honestly can't believe BogFace Barlow is actually worse when he was younger... Could never stand his self righteous charecter in the new years I have seen, but assumed he got worse as he got older.. horrible patronizing person.. "good girl" to Diedre smh and refusing all the advertising for local place he doesn't want because of Mike... WOW
Did Bet ever get a decent man who actually cared for her? A decent proposal? Anyone who didn't want to just take advantage of her (Alec not included as he left her to go work on a cruise ship). Poor woman had life imitate art all her life it seemed.
It wasn't in Bet's character to choose a decent man, she was doomed only to find the bad ones attractive. A good one would have bored her to tears, unfortunately.
No she didnt - still the same today - she never learned - saw her in a pub in Preston the other night letting a randy old guy buy her drinks and a few bags of crisps
I'm 71 and watched Coronation street with my nan and grandad, in black and white years ago. This spring 2023 I started from scratch, watching again. Since early 1970s I hadn't seen it at all. Weeks of memory lane pleasure so far. Drove me to tears sometimes. I found Len Fairclough very sleezy even before I heard why he left. The way he mauled and pecked at Rita who clearly didn't like it. I can't imagine how some actors got the job. Fred Gee was too vile. Gail was too simpering . Vera horrible. Ken has abusive husband/ serial killer vibes. Hilda is the jewel in the crown. Jack is trash. Baby Nicki has been a star, so bright from day one! Where is he today?
If Barbara Knox "clearly didn't like it", it's clearly terrible acting if it shows on screen. She was surrounded on set and perfectly safe. It's fictional, it's acting; if you get off on Peter Adamson's sleazy ways off screen so much that you can't separate fact from fiction, then your mind is clearly in the gutter.
That annoying Sally woman who shares Ken's room of hellish boredom, is played by the same actress that ripped Brian Tilsley off in the petrol station years ago.
She wasn’t too annoying to Ken…didn’t they have a good old snog that looked like it was going to lead to a bit of bedroom action! But Our Ken bottled it big time and let the lassie slip through his fingers.
Don't know who directed the wedding scenes in the pub, but it was strangely quiet, no ambience, when they do parties in The Select, it's usually really jolly & bustling, shame!
So whats Bett's problem with Des!? She dumped her married boyfriend because she isn't the one who busted of his marriage! Apparently she thinks she should've been the only side chick he ever had.😂😂😂
Danny Baldwin. He thought he was his nephew then turned out he was his son. Although in 1983 Mike didn’t have a brother or nephew- this was a retcon in the noughties!
Earlier in the year Suzie Birchall moved back into Elsie’s and shared a room with Marion. This drive her crazy so Elsie suggested she take the front room downstairs and make it her own bedroom and living room. Why she didn’t move back upstairs when Suzie left I don’t know.
Oo no, I’m not sayin’ e was a dunce. I’m just sayin’ what ‘e learned at school could be wrote on the head of a pin and still leave room for the Lord’s Prayer. 😂😂

the first full month without Annie Walker. It's amazing how they can write people out of a show without you even noticing. Just look Ena Sharples.
And Len Fairclough too
I’m not normally a Mike Baldwin-defender, but Maggie bringing their son to the wedding and parading him in front of Mike is just so nasty.
Elsie looks very beautiful in her Matron of Honour outfit.
She was a master at dressing up mutton as lamb
I am watching all these years for the third time!!!! Corrie Street really went downhill in the 90s. I have the great privilege of watching the 60s, 70s and 80s episodes.
I agree she looks beautiful, if that’s ‘mutton’ I’d choose to look like that anyway.
@@deborahwatson2730 same here.
@@ironknobsteelworks4063 she looks nothing like mutton dressed as lamb
Thelma Barlow really did a fantastic job playing Mavis. It must have been exhausting! We all know someone a bit like Mavis.
Apparently she started acting like Mavis cause they didn't specify the character they wanted to be known as so she started acting like a mouse
I have always loved the character Curly Watts. My husband didn't recognize Kevin Webster so young!
1983 saw the departures of Annie Walker, Len Fairclough, Bert Tilsley, and Eddie Yeats (although Eddie returned for a short period in 1987).
And Albert I think.
I can just remember when Eddie & Marion sneaked out of the show for good. Sad to see them go. It was a big changeover 1983.
And Elsie Tanner ' Albert and Stan Ogden left the following year I think
@paul frost Yes, the three of them characters left in 1984. The actors who played Albert Tatlock and Stan Ogden died, and of course Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) died in 1986. Elsie left in January 1984, Albert died in March, while Stan died in November.

It disappeared after the 1986 fire.

The Curly/Emily Era, pretty boring stuff.
Dreadful
1.38.58 Don’t think much of the ‘decorating’-a few white smears randomly on the wall! Looks worse now!
Emily dont like the black pudding - horrified she was when Curly mentioned it - horrified
😂😂😂
To think if the actress who played Marions mum hadnt had a stroke Eddie and Marrion could have stayed in Coronation Street a lot longer
Marion's mother had the stroke, not the actress. And it was Geoffrey Hughes' own decision to leave.
Hilda left her card on the atm 😳
3:07:00 "when ye say, this is thunderfelt.." surely somebody RUMBLED..
When pubs were pubs. I😢
Oo no, I’m not sayin’ e was a dunce. I’m just sayin’ what ‘e learned at school could be wrote on the head of a pin and still leave room for the Lord’s Prayer. 😂😂
Goodness Mavis is pathetic, she is frightened of her own shadow.
She drives me up the wall and back down. Her wittering is unrivaled
She has GAD I have it also it’s terrible anxiety 😥
Mavis is the most wonderful character.
Fantastic acting from Thelma Barlow. It must have been exhausting to play Mavis. I wonder who she based her on.
Xxx!. Thanks
Stan was in no fit state to play darts with Percy.
Changed days, she’s sitting with a brandy talking about her pregnancy!
Bet is really irritating at this stage
Agreed. EVERY sentence leaving her mouth is sarcastic. Later, more emotion and depth is explored in her character.
Very dowdy hairstyles on the women. Stiff, dull, split ends.
Suits the era. The early 80s were pretty grim.
@@zeddeka Unlike the life-affirming, uplifting, joyful world we live in today, of course.
@@zeddekaNot as grim as it is now.
I love Deidre's hair in the early 80s, she is actually gorgeous.
A teeth filling at that age shame on you Deirdre
It's all those dolly mixtures she bought from the Kabin that she force fed Tracey when she was younger.
Elsie, looks very much like Rita. I usually get those 2 confused 🫤. They even have the same hair color.
Omg Elsie Tanner will be spinning in her grave if she hears you saying that
Pat Phoenix was miles better looking.
Elsie was the better looking one in my opinion but Rita was still an attractive woman. It’s just that Elsie was hot as a BBQ in July!
Rather hard to believe Eddie could pull a crackin bird like Marrion
Miracles never cease.
Eeh luv, you need to go to the opticians.
