So ladies and gentlemen this is a sad day as this is my last Corrie video. I have shared all I have with you and I hope that another channel appears that can follow in my footsteps and use the same concept. These 140 omnibus video editions represent hard work for the last few months (including making thumbnails) and I'll be quite happy not to watch them for another year. I wanted to get them out asap because of the home situation we have found ourselves in hoping it would make life a little more bearable. I Will be posting the rest of my James H. Reeve series from Manchester's Key 103 which I found to be a nice compliment to Corrie as James does talk about the cobbles from time to time. Enjoy ❤️
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I watched Coronation Street as a teenager in the 80s so I had never seen these 70s episodes till now. I stopped watching Corrie from around the late 90s. I felt the show had lost too many great characters. I loved them all but firm favourites were Eddie Yeats, The Odgens, Elsie and Bet Lynch. They made ordinary every day storylines come alive because of their great acting skills. Annie Walker I loved too and even Fred! The interactions of the characters was pure genius. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk down memory lane to the 70s, a time that is very dear to my heart. Thank you again, It was a blessing to find your great channel and it gave me many great hours of pure entertainment. You are a star! 😀
I have been watching these back to back on TV tablet as I find them interesting heartwarming and memories floodback good times and life seemed more simple then didn't it.
Please know how much you have helped me by bringing such lovely memories of Corrie. I am housebound and have been for years, crippled by anxiety that prevents me crossing the front door. My home is my bubble where I feel safe and secure and having the opportunity to watch your uploads has been so beneficial for my mental health, giving me such a lift. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of it.
What a lovely comment! Very much the same here - this channel has been a lifeline to me and my elderly mum. And I'm sure we're not alone, it's a wonderful and very popular channel for all the fans of vintage Corrie - which of course is the show at its very best! ProfessionalGun is an absolute hero!
I understand what you mean ' I suffer from frequent bouts of anxiety as well ' although it sounds like you have it much worse than I do ' I wish you good luck and hope you recover soon ' your right there is nothing more soothing than watching classics like this or getting into a good book ' find it calming.
Kat Y I am in the same boat since 2018 and I deeply sympathize with you. I'm very grateful I read your comment when I did because it's memorial day weekend here and I used to be out somewhere out of state, but at least in a yard somewhere with people having a fire... Not stuck in these 4 walls alone. I hope you get better soon, thank you for making me feel less alone today when it was hitting me harder than usual. Sending a hug across the pond for you🤗 good luck
13:20 A shiver went down my spine, hearing Mike Baldwin's speech speculating on what life would be like after Gail and Brian had been married 50 years. How amazed everyone present at the wedding would be, to know 'Coronation Street' would still be going strong into the 21st century - and what utter, unwatchable crap it would become!
Always love these oldies, when Corrie had all these wonderful unforgetable characters and great scripts made it then and now, so entertaining. Thanks for loading these solid gold episodes . 👏👏👏👏😃
Love this one where Alf ' len Fred and Bert sneak off to a club and come back sozzled ' then finish off in the Rovers in the early hours ' then have to face the music from their other halves.
TRUTH, Elsie is my favourite character of all time, a Street icon - and for all her faults, a fantastic female role model. So sad the gorgeous actress who played her, Pat Phoenix, died tragically young at 62. But I'm glad the beloved Elsie she breathed glorious life into got the proper exit, storyline and 'happy ever after' she fully deserved. There will never be another! 💋💋💋
Hi everyone I remember watching this TV show coming up to Christmas with my nan and the simel of her Christmas cake in the stove saddle my nan based away before Christmas day she was 99 Year's old I miss her so much she was more than my nan she was my best friend all ways look after your elder be cos family is everything God bless all of ye and look after one a nother b
That Christmas (79) my Mum was pregnant with my sister was born just over a month later on Jan 30 1980 ' recall we all ate out due to my Mum being unable to cook.
Been watching since the 60's in England, followed me all over the world, until the last year or so, IT DEFINITELY LOST ITS MAGIC, Glad for video and others who enjoyed the original Corrie.
Thank you so much, I too am housebound and not a television watcher so I watch these wonderful episodes of Corrie, I binge watch all day long. Cheers from Canada
Funny how the 'golden oldie' played at the wedding (Cat Stevens) was only about 10 years old...pop music was still on the move in 1979 - ever noticed how little it's changed in the last 25 years?
I know I've said it a few times to you but you got me through my 6 months off work because I had a really bad infection in my body that went to my foot almost lost my life and my leg. So you were a godsend to me got me through thst time with the uploads so thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I could id take you out for a drink and a meal
Ah that mysterious room in the Rovers that used to appear out of nowhere whenever there was a 'do' on - it couldn't possibly exist in reality but we just accepted it!
I went to the old Granada studios in 1990 I actually saw Gail's dress display it was nylon and I remember it seemed a bit dusty not in a cover or casing.
Emily thought the sun shone out of Ken’s backside that he’d be a great parent to Tracy conveniently forgetting he’s got two children in Scotland he doesn’t want the responsibility of raising.
She should be putting all of her efforts in fixing her marriage, not in him!! And she forgets that she still has a husband! She goes in like she’s single! Sickening.
This is the oldest episode, I’ve seen of Coronation Street. The older the better. I just love 💕 it. I’m home 🏠 very often, more better, watching these episodes. Thanks 🙏 a bunch.
I recall much further back like almost a decade to around 70/71 ' watching as a 4 year old ' my grandmother and mum were Corrie addicts (god rest them.) whenever the end credits rolled (8pm) it was my bed time ' within a few years I was a child Corrie devotee ' right until about 17/18.
@@paulfrost8895 Same here - born '66, watched since about 1969, just before bedtime. The street I lived in at the time, until '77, was pretty similar, and the woman who lived next door up to the early 70s was called Maggie Clegg.
I remember first seeing Corrie in about 1969, I was five years old. I didn't see it in colour until 1973. Loved watching it until 1984, when aged twenty. I watched it again in the 90s, but then lost interest into the 2000s. Loving these downloads of vintage Corrie. 😀💞
I started watching at 4 years old in 1989 and then continued watching Corrie until around 2000. After that I lost interest. I catch the rare episode nowadays but its pure muck. Give me Corrie from the 1960s to 1990s any day!
Thank you so much for all of your efforts. These video's have been super as I'm a newbie of about 2 years now (this is 2024 when I've writing this). They are so worth watching.
Mike's speech speculates 50 years. It's almost that now...44 years later. Better actors and storylines then...probably up to mid 1990s. Then it gradually declined, to that which it is now. Great work and thank you 👍
The music @15:35 onward... Cat Stevens... Thanks PG66, you have done well posting all these over the last few months, you have made a crippled old man really happy ....(I'm only 64... :) ) edit2... and Debby Harry... nice on ITV
A simpler time. Yes, less money about than now, but people appreciated the little things more I am 50 now and remember having to run around the streets asking if anyone had change of 50p for the electric meter, while everyone else at home was making tea and toast in the dark lol.
“Less money about than now.” The average person in the U.K. could afford to live relatively comfortably in 1979. Fast-forward 42 years and post-grads are up to their eyeballs in debt and bachelors/single mums are having to microwave dogs’ food twice a day because they can’t afford to even nip to Aldi. So I wouldn’t go that far.
That money went further, though. My parents supported the local rugby league team, home and away, went to Hull City home games and took me along, and paid for me to go to the speedway too, with my uncle. All this on one wage and no family allowance (I had no siblings). Of course, we didn't have all these gadgets we now rely on back then.
Aww it is sad day but understandable, as it must be a lot of work and time consuming for you, but rest assured, so appreciated. Good entertaining telly programs, these days, seems hard to find, so watching these episodes, is a great boost. Thanks once again, and enjoy a nice break. 🤩
Betty went until 90 serving at the Rovers, she never really changed. She had an unusual life with her mother, give it a read, She never cooked a hot pot and was a vegetarian!
Love ❤️ these old ones of coronation street brings back many memories thank you 🙏 for uploading these, I remember my mum watching these episodes when I was a kid! And 46 years later I’m enjoying the memories
Seeing as the network went on strike, Fred's three years of being a widower had actually gone to four years by this time. His wife Edna dying in October 1975 in the factory fire
WOW Pat Phoenix ( Elsie Tanner) looks amazing in these episodes! She was a smasher in her younger days but seeing her in this is amazing! She was a brilliant actress & she certainly cuts the mustard in this! A beautiful woman ! There arent the kind of glamorous actress these days as Pat was! Same with the lovely Rita, another fabulous looking older woman, very chic! Lordy Brian & Gail look like kids! Hahaha Loved Susie Birchall i cant ever remember seeing her in many other acting roles which is odd because she a terrific actress & very pretty Someone can tell me what she did after Corrie, hopefully. Im amazed Ena Sharples is still around in some of these! I remember the huge rows & arguements Elsie Tanner & Ena Sharples used to have! They were Dynamite! Yet there was great respect between them ! So wonderful to still see Uncle Albert Tatlock too, And Bette Lynch, Mrs Walker of the Rovers! Cuddley big Eddie, the irrepressible Vera Duckworth! I think the only person i didnt care for among the whole cast was Ivy Tilsley.. she was a nasty sly backstabbing woman & from all accounts she wasnt far, in real life from her character in this! Mike the lothario & his flashy lifestyle lol! God! Im watching Elsie ( Pat) now & i think she would have had a wonderful career if shed gone to Hollywood! Shed have reigned supreme! Sorry but Ken Barlow is still boring! 😆 Ahhh so many amazing memories I always wanted to try Betty's famous Hot Pots! Here's to all of the old fans of the old Coronation Street Hoping 2023 is BRILLIANT for all of you Regards 🇬🇧👧
This is PURE BLISS! i gave up watching Corrie 18yrs ago, it just wasnt the same anymore! These actors who play these fabulous characters are pure gold! This is entertainment of the 1st class calibre!! So many many wonderful characters, some id forgotten but not many. Most are long gone now, i think Ken Barlow is the only one left Rene from the corner shop just passed a few weeks ago Its just brilliant watching this Its cheered me up to the hilt! Im so pleased i found it! I can remember some of the episodes! Its made me laugh & smile & who can forget the amazing Hilda & Stan Ogden, I loved those two! I was just 25yrs when this series was out! Just about to get married! Whole life ahead of me! Now after 2 daughters full adults, a 16yr old & a 9yr old grandsons 2 marriages come & gone but no regrets, we're all still friends Ive had a brilliant life & a happy one What better way to celebrate than watching these Corrie episodes! Thank You, Thank You Blessings to all 🇬🇧👧
@@professionalgun6674 I've just seen this reply from a week ago - bless you my child, and thanks again! Hope you and yours are doing well, and keeping cool in the current heatwave. Enjoy it while it lasts - English summers are ridiculously short aren't they!
Hilda's when she's been serious and gets her words mixed up "Ur one of them punkrockets" she ment to say punkrockers. Unfortunately the comedy of the old days is lacking in modern day Coranation Street.
Out of interest, when did Elsie Tanner buy No11? I thought she rented it off Mrs Sharples? (Yep I’m thinking of that famous episode where she smashed the window)
I'm not sure of the 1960s history, but Elsie definitely owned her house at this point, as it's up for sale. I assumed she always had owned it - from when the series first launched in 1960 and she lived there with her adult son and daughter, Dennis and Linda by the rather dull Arnold Tanner (what did feisty Elsie ever see in him?)
Hi! I was wondering if you had any Coronation Street episodes from 1973 (Oct) or 1975 (April) - specifically with a young Linus Roache as Peter Barlow. Thank you!
Too true what what ilsa said at 3.10. 00Ive never seen corrie with hilda as i wasnt born . But she is probably my most favourite character, always tryung to better herself and makes the best of what she has ... wished she'd have a little luck ❤
Len Fairclough was one horrible miserable *****. I could not stand him, even back then. Burt on the other hand was a great fella. Len and Ivy would be a good match.
Spot on! Pat Phoenix had her second face lift in August/September 1979, which is why she was supposedly 'ill' and couldn't attend Gail's wedding! Her first face lift was around 1970. Incidentally, according to Corrie producer Bill Podmore, Pat's post cosmetic surgery bruising is the also reason she missed her estranged husband Alan Browning's real life funeral in September '79, and only sent flowers. I think it was a very good face lift - you can see it clearly in her scenes towards the end of this month, when Bet Lynch calls at her house to find out why she's left boyfriend Ron in Cornwall at Christmas (needless to say, they'd split up). The big giveaway was her first scene when she returned to the cobbles from her extended stay in Cornwall with boyfriend Ron. She stepped out of the black cab in broad daylight, on a winter's day, wearing huge sunglasses to hide her post-surgery bruises! Pat was always very open about her cosmetic surgery, and never made any secret of her two face lifts, telling all her fellow cast members and producers.
Im not sure what you mean by the 3.00 minutes mark, but if you are referring to the music played at Tilsley's reception party at the Rovers, then it is thus. Cat Stevens 'Can't Keep It In', followed by Blondie 'Sunday Girl'.
@@TheGlassman63 no I probably meant the 3 hour mark. I can't even remember now. It was the house warming party in the Tilsleys house anyway. Thanks for replying though.
@@gilliangrant8764 Oh right, i see what you mean now. The song that is played at The Tilsley's house party is "Papa Louie" by The Brotherhood Of Man. You can find them performing to it on CZcams.
Its great to see those wonderful gritty realistic characters again. Coronation street is a pale shadow of its former self these days with it's dull and boring miserable characters and depressing storylines .
Not Rita singing again.please do us a favour. Len so out of order snogging the gold digger.why do the men treat their women like crap even at Christmas.
Just a side note of possible interest to some - although Pat Phoenix has a naturally wide mouth, I noticed it seemed unnaturally wide in the last few months, also her profile & jawline is beautifully smooth & taught. Looking back at older photos of her, this was not the case, and as we generally don't age backwards, this indicates that Pat did have some kind of face lift, during her numerous times away from the street. It was very well done, she looked great & luckily she seemed to have no problems, so good for her!

"Well, you're one o' them punk rockets, aren't yer?" Waited decades to hear this classic line again. Brilliant stuff, and not just this scene!
13:20 A shiver went down my spine, hearing Mike Baldwin's speech speculating on what life would be like after Gail and Brian had been married 50 years.
How amazed everyone present at the wedding would be, to know 'Coronation Street' would still be going strong into the 21st century - and what utter, unwatchable crap it would become!
Hear hear!
It 's a totally different scene these days ' sadly ' very dark with little community spirit anymore ' times have changed for the worst.
Loved it then but hate it now.
Agreed ' sadly Brian didn 't make it that far ' only had 9 more years left.
Corrie is still around, but whether it's going strong is a matter of debate.
Always love these oldies, when Corrie had all these wonderful unforgetable characters and great scripts made it then and now, so entertaining.
Thanks for loading these solid gold episodes . 👏👏👏👏😃
Love this one where Alf ' len Fred and Bert sneak off to a club and come back sozzled ' then finish off in the Rovers in the early hours ' then have to face the music from their other halves.
What a fabulous character Elsie tanner was
My favourite along with Hilda and Minnie Caldwell who left 3 year before these episodes.
Elsie was warm, fair and sassy❤
TRUTH, Elsie is my favourite character of all time, a Street icon - and for all her faults, a fantastic female role model.

Professional gun 66 you have been great. Sending you love and god bless you for all your hard work.

The 1970s and early 80s were the best Corrie era.

This is fabulous seeing all the old characters, and characters they were! Absolutely brilliant. Big thank you.
Geoffrey Hughes is funny as Eddie but even more better as Onslow on Keeping Up Appearances.
Rarely watched that ' I remember him best from Corrie.
Excellent in royle family as well.naturaly funny guy.
He was tremendous as Onslow :) 'I'm bone idle our Daisy' 🤣
Love love love Onslow!!! Ahhhh NICE!!!😂❤😂
I can’t think of a more boring way to spend New Year’s Eve than with Ken Barlow 😆
Funny how the 'golden oldie' played at the wedding (Cat Stevens) was only about 10 years old...pop music was still on the move in 1979 - ever noticed how little it's changed in the last 25 years?
It was considered old back then ' pop had only been around barley 25 years ' dates much slower now.

Ah that mysterious room in the Rovers that used to appear out of nowhere whenever there was a 'do' on - it couldn't possibly exist in reality but we just accepted it!
Perhaps it was underground?! 🤷♀️ 😂
Plus the Select was bigger than the main bar !
Probably a function room.
It disappeared after the Rovers fire in 1986.
Same with the toilets somehow positioned in the same space as Ken’s living room.
I went to the old Granada studios in 1990 I actually saw Gail's dress display it was nylon and I remember it seemed a bit dusty not in a cover or casing.

I'm really surprised that when Diedre moved she didn't take the curtains,carpet, the lot after the way Ivy treated her...even the lightbulbs hahah
These nice simple weddings were the best. I was married in 1976.
Seeing as the network went on strike, Fred's three years of being a widower had actually gone to four years by this time. His wife Edna dying in October 1975 in the factory fire
Always loved Eddie 's witty humour! RIP Geoffrey Huges ' who later went onto heartbeat.
i like when Steve says to Suzie i brough back your records back, there were empty sleeves, he brough back no record inside the sleeve.
So much for the Pink and White, 3 tier, wedding cake that Emily was giving as a wedding present.
Happy days!!!! Great upload 👍
WOW Pat Phoenix ( Elsie Tanner) looks amazing in these episodes!
She was a smasher in her younger days but seeing her in this is amazing!
She was a brilliant actress & she certainly cuts the mustard in this! A beautiful woman ! There arent the kind of glamorous actress these days as Pat was!
Same with the lovely Rita, another fabulous looking older woman, very chic!
Lordy Brian & Gail look like kids!
Hahaha
Loved Susie Birchall i cant ever remember seeing her in many other acting roles which is odd because she a terrific actress & very pretty
Someone can tell me what she did after Corrie, hopefully.
Im amazed Ena Sharples is still around in some of these!
I remember the huge rows & arguements Elsie Tanner & Ena Sharples used to have!
They were Dynamite!
Yet there was great respect between them !
So wonderful to still see Uncle Albert Tatlock too,
And Bette Lynch, Mrs Walker of the Rovers!
Cuddley big Eddie, the irrepressible Vera Duckworth!
I think the only person i didnt care for among the whole cast was Ivy Tilsley.. she was a nasty sly backstabbing woman & from all accounts she wasnt far, in real life from her character in this!
Mike the lothario & his flashy lifestyle lol!
God! Im watching Elsie ( Pat) now & i think she would have had a wonderful career if shed gone to Hollywood! Shed have reigned supreme!
Sorry but Ken Barlow is still boring! 😆
Ahhh so many amazing memories
I always wanted to try Betty's famous Hot Pots!
Here's to all of the old fans of the old Coronation Street
Hoping 2023 is BRILLIANT for all of you

I'm not surprised Pat Phoenix looked good as she'd just returned from her second facelift! ;-)
Mrs Sharples facial expressions, when uncle Albert is moaning. 😂😂Response to video only.
Bulldog chewing a wasp when Ivy buys him a rum!
Best thing on the Box 2022
Thanks for these I really appreciate them xx

I was just 25yrs when this series was out! Just about to get married! Whole life ahead of me!
Now after 2 daughters full adults, a 16yr old & a 9yr old grandsons
2 marriages come & gone but no regrets, we're all still friends
Ive had a brilliant life & a happy one
What better way to celebrate than watching these Corrie episodes!
Thank You, Thank You

@@professionalgun6674 I've just seen this reply from a week ago - bless you my child, and thanks again! Hope you and yours are doing well, and keeping cool in the current heatwave. Enjoy it while it lasts - English summers are ridiculously short aren't they!
Drunk Bert is so funny
Burt the Bummer!
Thankyou for all your hard work bringing these gems for us to enjoy,
Thank you very much-we will miss you.
What a great character Hilda was.. her memories in that suit case totally believable… they were all so well cast and performances and script crafted.
Hilda's when she's been serious and gets her words mixed up
"Ur one of them punkrockets" she ment to say punkrockers.
Unfortunately the comedy of the old days is lacking in modern day Coranation Street.
She was Queen of the malaprop.
Thank you for your efforts and generosity in sharing all this entertainment.
Out of interest, when did Elsie Tanner buy No11? I thought she rented it off Mrs Sharples? (Yep I’m thinking of that famous episode where she smashed the window)
I'm not sure of the 1960s history, but Elsie definitely owned her house at this point, as it's up for sale.
I assumed she always had owned it - from when the series first launched in 1960 and she lived there with her adult son and daughter, Dennis and Linda by the rather dull Arnold Tanner (what did feisty Elsie ever see in him?)
1969, it was purchased from Alfred
Wormold
So happy. Thank you
Best thing on Telly👍🏴
Brings back happy days watching this
Hi! I was wondering if you had any Coronation Street episodes from 1973 (Oct) or 1975 (April) - specifically with a young Linus Roache as Peter Barlow. Thank you!
Stan’s laziness 😂
Dreary looks like she's in charge of the Dagenham Girl Pipers at the wedding ...
Fantastic to see this
Bet with a Pint. 🤣👍Lol. Proper Northern Lass👍😀👍❤
Too true what what ilsa said at 3.10. 00Ive never seen corrie with hilda as i wasnt born . But she is probably my most favourite character, always tryung to better herself and makes the best of what she has ... wished she'd have a little luck ❤
"Do you mind? "That's the Polotsonin Dances, from Prince Eye-Gor, by Borodin"! 😂
Len Fairclough was one horrible miserable *****. I could not stand him, even back then. Burt on the other hand was a great fella. Len and Ivy would be a good match.
Looks like Pat Phoenix had some cosmetic work done while away from the show.
Spot on! Pat Phoenix had her second face lift in August/September 1979, which is why she was supposedly 'ill' and couldn't attend Gail's wedding! Her first face lift was around 1970.
Incidentally, according to Corrie producer Bill Podmore, Pat's post cosmetic surgery bruising is the also reason she missed her estranged husband Alan Browning's real life funeral in September '79, and only sent flowers.
I think it was a very good face lift - you can see it clearly in her scenes towards the end of this month, when Bet Lynch calls at her house to find out why she's left boyfriend Ron in Cornwall at Christmas (needless to say, they'd split up).
The big giveaway was her first scene when she returned to the cobbles from her extended stay in Cornwall with boyfriend Ron. She stepped out of the black cab in broad daylight, on a winter's day, wearing huge sunglasses to hide her post-surgery bruises!
Pat was always very open about her cosmetic surgery, and never made any secret of her two face lifts, telling all her fellow cast members and producers.
@@glamdolly30 She was a very straightfoward character ' both on and off screen.
@@paulfrost8895 Agreed, I believe Pat was a very down to earth and fundamentally kind person. Kindness is the most important quality of all.
What the flippin' 'eck is Dreary wearing to the wedding?
This would have been the month before my sister was born (December 79) now 42 and living in Germany as a senior therapist.
What is that song playing at the Tilsley's party around the 3.00 mark? I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me.
Im not sure what you mean by the 3.00 minutes mark, but if you are referring to the music played at Tilsley's reception party at the Rovers, then it is thus. Cat Stevens 'Can't Keep It In', followed by Blondie 'Sunday Girl'.
@@TheGlassman63 no I probably meant the 3 hour mark. I can't even remember now. It was the house warming party in the Tilsleys house anyway. Thanks for replying though.
@@gilliangrant8764 Oh right, i see what you mean now. The song that is played at The Tilsley's house party is "Papa Louie" by The Brotherhood Of Man. You can find them performing to it on CZcams.
@@TheGlassman63 Thank you very much xx
Hilda was the biggest Karen.
Poor Stan and Hilda, standing alone at the bar in their finery, forever excluded.
Why does Rita put up with Len kissing Audrey all the time
£££
46.20. It’s time they got a lid for that freezer.
Ivy would have gone with newlyweds 😊
Anne kirkbride joined coronation Street in 1972 at the age of 18
So 1979 she can only be 26
Yet she looks talks and behaves like a 40 year old 😂
Have you got august 1978
Think it was a good year for the street (1978) through having researched and watched the old episodes on CZcams ' high ratings.
Sure do ' the funny episode with Hilda's muriel.
Can you upload it the episode where August 1978
I been trying in vain to locate that month ' shame got a funny episode where Stan floods the living room ' damaging Hilda 's beloved muriel.
She did tell everyone that all she got was chocolates! 😂🤣
I ❤ like this
Why was Steve Fisher written out? I liked him
Boring!
What makes you laugh they all seem to have no money for stuff but are never out the pub and they slag us here in Scotland
Fair play Baldwin - great speech
Its great to see those wonderful gritty realistic characters again. Coronation street is a pale shadow of its former self these days with it's dull and boring miserable characters and depressing storylines .
Not Rita singing again.please do us a favour. Len so out of order snogging the gold digger.why do the men treat their women like crap even at Christmas.
Susan Barlow is supposed to be 14 in 79, she looks awfully grown up.
Punk rocker works out 💪🏽
I think BERT TILSLEY was a brilliant actor happy go lucky the older programs were the best some brilliant actors 👍👍👍👍
Why are they buying booze at the wedding??! They should have plenty at the reception!! 😂🤣
Punk rocker is the same actor that tried to rob the corner shop after the rovers truck crash I think
Sharples seems to treat the Snug as her own private domain. Too lazy to mingle with the other patrons.
What a let down Ron turned out to be. Shame on him.
What the hell is that thing on Dearys head?
Stan + Eddie. Were best two hard working lads back in day
Heirloom chip pan! lol
I don't like Susie's haircut.
1:40:12 Norman is funny, they should have made him a regular character!
In fact, Gayle and her mother should be sisters on the show. In reality, Audrey was 36, and Gayle was 28!! 😂🤣
Think this is Rita’s real hair x
I would love to give Hilda the money to go to France. She deserves a good time 😊
Some bizarre writing in these episodes for sure. Some of the dialogue is.....interesting?
Un pc
3:18:30 KERR-UNCH! I reckon Ken just broke that sofa!
Brian he married a camel
That is nice. 😂😂😂
ET you mean! Gail was ET in a wig
Suzie is such a freaking prima Donna 😅
Just a side note of possible interest to some - although Pat Phoenix has a naturally wide mouth, I noticed it seemed unnaturally wide in the last few months, also her profile & jawline is beautifully smooth & taught. Looking back at older photos of her, this was not the case, and as we generally don't age backwards, this indicates that Pat did have some kind of face lift, during her numerous times away from the street. It was very well done, she looked great & luckily she seemed to have no problems, so good for her!
I thought more rita
@@liscatcat8756 I haven't noticed any change in her, but Phoenix did change unquestionably.
If Gayle wanted Hilda at the wedding, she would have been! It’s Her wedding, not Ivy’s!!
