Thank you so much for downloading these solid gold episodes , they are great. R.I.P. Johnny, so sad to hear, he was a great actor, and never realised just how many early films he appeared in before Corrie. ♥️

And slim, and natural. 😂 The years really change your perspective. And the programme itself is such a clever mix of drama and charming comedy. It really makes today's soaps look so bloody miserable. It's an absolute pleasure to watch this again.
What a very silly storyline, Hilda and Mrs. Ernshaw. It seems like the writers had something in mind, then decided to lose the story, but it really was a silly story and not worthy of Jean Alexander's talent.
Bert was the 3rd great tragic figure of Coronation Street - dead at 48. Jerry Booth died of a heart attack at 34, and Alan Howard died when he was 53. I miss them all.
@@jstewart3517 she also nagged her second husband Don Brennon who she married in 1988. incidentally Her and Don were never suited Don wanted to the rough with the smooth with everybody on the street but Ivy only wanted squeaky clean citizens that fitted to her attire.
8:32 Just genius writing dropping in just the right amount of.comedy. Chalky and Phyllis arguing and Eddie in the background trying to get a word in to tell them that he's got to go. No break in the bickering long enough so Eddie gives up and just says "I'm going" and walks out. Remember it making me chuckle at the time of first broadcast, and raises the same laughs today
Kevin Lloyd.... he used to live in next street to me in Derbyshire, I would often see him at local shops and chip shop, he and his good wife used to foster many children, R.I.P Kevin🙏💐
I don't understand why Rita said Mavis didn't live around there, in the conversation about the Duckworth's buying the Fairclough's old house. But she lives in a flat above the Kabin, which I thought was just around the corner from Coronation Street and the Duckworth's.
Do you think Kellogg’s had a deal with Coronation Street as every household seems to have Corn Flakes for breakfast or on the table. Also, everyone seemed to be eating or buying Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts a few episodes before and it made me want some! Good product placement - I just wish they still came in those boxes!
haha that's so true about the Allsorts ! I was obsessed with them around this time even wrote to Bassets (but that's another story ) and my mother bought me a cuddly Bertie Bassett for Christmas lol !
I noticed that about Sunblest bread too. The big Sunblest van pulling up in these episodes. In other episodes Alf had loaves displayed prominently in his shop, or Hilda and Elsie had a big loaf of it placed prominently on their tables at home.
If you look back at episodes a few years before this, you never saw the brand names for any products, even in the corner shop, so it may have been illegal. Maybe the Thatcher government brought in legislation to allow it?
It has only been a few short months since Ken won back Dierdre from the more exciting Mike, and he's already plunged the poor woman back into his yawningly boring, ghastly life. Muttering, in his robotic way, about the most boring job on God's planet, casting suicidal gloom into the hearts of everybody he meets. She must have just resigned herself to a life 'most ordinary'. Either that, or she is a dedicated masochist. Poor girl.
Ken was just awful, a complete and utter bore, the type you'd avoid in the pub. I always lost the will to live listening to that nasally voice droning on. That he attracted so many girlfriends and was seen as a 'catch' was beyond belief. Looking back, it really was farcical that Deirdre gave up Mike to stay with him. Barlow had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Maybe it's because he wasn't part of a couple/double act like some of the other characters. They rarely made him more than the grumpy old man who, when he'd stopped clashing with the Fairclough's, was forever fending off Phyllis. There was a storyline involving him moving in with a widow, only to find that another old bloke had beaten him to it. The writers should have been more adventurous with Chalkie.
Lock up your daughters, here comes Terry Duckworth. And farewell to Chalkie Whiteley, a comical gloom merchant to rival Albert Tatlock in the "miserable old git" stakes. Strangely I rather liked him.
most of it are fake props as long as the stuff in the corner shop like bread and cakes and ham and tins are fresh and in dated .it doesn't matter where they are positioned
Loved the Aussie storyline in the last few episodes and the cork hat to chase away the flying raisins. My Mam was a 10 pound Pom in the 60s....cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Comon people dont like old stuff they always want new - threw all their antiques in the bin then years later sat eyes glued to Antiques Road Show looking at what they trew away
There was so much product placement for Sunblest Bread! They must have paid a lot of money for that. If it was a big Sunblest van pulling up, it was Alf selling it in his shop, or Elsie or Hilda sitting in their homes with a packet on their table with the logo turned towards the camera.
More than just Sunblest bread…PG Tips has been putting in a fair few appearances too, not to mention the very prominently displayed Guinness, Carlsberg and Kellogg’s cereal in Alf’s shop.
The bit where Ken is talking to the councellor, that's a real office, as opposed to being filmed in the studio, you can tell by the slightly grainier footage it's a portable film camera, also the acoustics echo more.
Wonder if a certain purple-haired, gravelly-voiced old lady saw Percy enter the shop. “Ooo, I were lookin’ for someone to chase up, now Tom Whitely’s gone...”
I remember the time when Annie Walker and someone she wanted to impress were going to a lavish dance. They dressed in their fineries and Uncle Albert asked them as to where was Cinderella. Oh, the look on their face when they realized what he meant.
Umm, Betty, I wouldn’t put your having been pestered by a hypochondriac in the same category as Ivy having Bert in a psychiatric hospital he may never leave. Just saying..
Wonderful episodes all uploaded like a box set. I for one would be happy to contribute if there was a funding page or anything like that. On a side note. Is it me or is Brian's acting extremely wooden?
I'd definitely contribute, PG66 is wonderful for doing all this! I've watched countless episodes now, and as for Brian's acting, it improved significantly by 1981/2. I used to find him so irritating, then I started to feel sorry for him, being stuck between his dreadful domineering mother who'd still have him in a pushchair if she could, and Gail, who nagged and complained endlessly and, particularly in the earlier days, regularly ran upstairs in tears.
Brian's acting is now adequate, in keeping with his character's personality and quite naturalistic. I also felt sorry for him stuck between Gail and Ivy.
I keep wondering how they did Bet's hair, and how often it needs priming, every morning? I love it, it suits her too. Just seems it could be high maintenance. But then, so is Bet herself, bless her
Looked ( and sounded) like Emily looking over the fence into no 9 and greeting Jack and Vera-but how could it be? She lives at no 3, they were at no 9 ( between Ivy and Elsie)!
I don't like what they did to Terry later, with all Jack's po-faced moralising and no-son-of-mine nonsense. Jack was a terrible father and Terry had a rotten life with those two, caught between their bickering and infidelities and Jack's idleness and cadging. All that seemed to get whitewashed later as they tried to make Jack and Vera seem as loveable as Stan and Hilda. They weren't.
@@stevenhighams4190 But from what I gather ( we never saw it) but Stan could be physically abusive and wasn’t a very nice character before the Ogdens arrived. He changed, and I think Jack did too.
@@alexanderjones9572 Stan certainly changed. He mellowed. Have you seen that 1966 episode where he thinks he's won the Pools because Hilda has incorrectly filled in the coupon? He throws a chair from the upstairs window and gives Hilda a black eye, although you don't see anything. But I think Stan was a more caring father than Jack Duckworth. It's all very well Jack and Vera mellowing, but Terry's memories must have been pretty awful. Speaking of Hilda, both my grandmothers were called that, though neither of them liked it!
2.16.44 Percy ( to Deirdre) “ You’ll be Mrs Roberts.” There is no Mrs Roberts at the time. The first two are dead, and the next one’s still Mrs Potter.
I always thought what a terrible man Terry Duckworth was and always wondered why Vera always blamed Jack. Watching these earlier episodes I now understand. Vern was good to Terry, but what a nightmare Vera and Jack were in those years. No wonder Terry turned out rotten
I really wish Bet would get to be lucky in love and happy in love for once, just for a while at least. How much misery do they have to put her through?
Gail!!! This is all still repercussions of YOUR insistence on that house you HAD to have. This is all YOUR doing!! Stop whining!! Your choices have consequences, you can’t yell at others for something you DEMANDED
Yes thts a good point - Having said that i guess if i used a back room beside the kitchen or if i even had that kind of living space i might be more inclined to do something more like setting the table - as it is a just grab a knife and fork out the drawer and off i go@@joshirley2308
Barm Cake. A kind of large bread roll made with yeast. Barm is another word for yeast. As the yeast ferments, it creates alcohol and makes people Barmy!
I had to look it up myself since I’m American and was totally clueless. I kept hearing them say barm and was determined to figure out what was so unique.
Well some this never change, Our Bett is something,she was happy to know she busted up a marriage to make a happy home for herself, thinking she was his only and last bit on the side,then ending it all because other bird was the reason his wife gave his the push.😂😂😂😂
As much as I enjoy these episodes - and I do enjoy them - I sometimes feel like I'm watching something set in 1883 and not 1983. Corrie's attitudes certainly didn't reflect the times.
Horrible horrible character Ivy Tilsley. Not worried about her husband, just worried about what people will think. ‘Drunk with his nerves’ no gone insane with living with her.
Hilda wears matching colours to the exterior of her house, nice. 1:48:23 What ya doing with that swab Bet? If the rat can cheat on his wife, he can cheat on you.
Yes and Albert mumbles when he talks. Always found I really had to listen hard to catch what he was saying most of the time. I never had any problem understanding anyone in Corrie as I'm British but it must be difficult for non Brits to follow his conversations. 🤔
The two youngest were mentally challenged and they were taken away because Stan used to beat everyone in the household. The two eldest left the home as soon as they could. I don’t think both had excuses to not come to his futures.
Yes...Johnny has left this life but his legacy lives on; thanks to you we have all been watching him these past few weeks.
A corrie legend.
