Eddie was the best ever addition to Corrie. Hilda, Stan and Eddie were the best team.
My favourite Christmas episode. The brief scene with Jerry Booth at 21:14 is so poignant; "Next year all your troubles will be out of sight." RIP Graham Haberfield.
Did he die soon afterwards?
@@damiencrowley5546 aye the actor died just months after that episode
The only really decent man that showed an interest in Mavis and she treats him like garbage and ends up marrying Derek! Sad that he passed away soon after, but it would have been nice to have a decent last Christmas.
I'd forgotten what a tragic character Jerry was.
I was the maître d'/manager of Joe Allen, Toronto (restaurant) in the 1980s, and Geoffrey Hughes (aka Eddie Yates) was one of only two actors that I ever "gushed over" when they came in (the other was Maggie Smith.)
It was in the late 80s, after Corrie St., and before Keeping Up Appearances. As I recall, I just briefly thanked him (sotto voce) for all the pleasure he had brought to me and so many other viewers, and he replied with a quick "Thank you very much."
I think he was embarrassed, which made me wish I had been more professional, but now I'm glad I did.
He looks so young in these early Coronation St appearances, although when I met him, he was well on his way to looking more like Onslow!
I couldn't get enough of the Christmas episodes on American television back then.
Then I consider today's television around Christmas ....nothing...
I surely miss them.
Love how the boom mic is always caught in the shot in these oldies! If it's not the mic it's its shadow on the casts' faces, walls... LOL
People used to say that the mic appeared so often that it should be mentioned in the credits!
@@bibakroll8999 LOL!!
@@bibakroll8999 Yea, *LOL*
Lovely episode. Ena and Minnie in the same spot 14 years on.
They made their last appearance in March 1976 just 15 months later
The Christmas episodes were always wonderful.
Bet looks gorgeous in pink, it's definitely her colour.
I thought same..lovely dress. She looks very pretty.
@@tarnsand440 that is a lovely dress for 1974. Remember a lot of the clothes from that year that were more worth forgetting. 😂
...and lettuce green. She was lovely back in those days.
Thank you more of my favourite era of corrie 70s thank you for uploads..pure magic. .
Elaine Marnick my fave era too . Magic .
Stan and bet were together many times in the Rovers until Stan passed away leaving Hilda in tears.
Poor Jerry, depressed and lonely at Christmas. The song "have yourself a merry little Christmas" where they sung "next year all your troubles will be out of sight", well for Jerry they would be completely out of sight as he would die suddenly that November.
Very poignant and so very sad. ☹
😮💨
Yes. Sadly he didn't make Christmas 75 😢
It was Jerry booth (Graham haberfields) last Christmas he died almost a year after this episode
Good ole Eddie Yates....legend
Thank you for posting this episode This is a Christmas tradition the 1974 Episode .. I kept my video player and the tape this is on long after DVD players came out just so I could watch this a few times on the run up to Christmas, When I saw it on CZcams about three years ago I finally got rid of player and tape ... Then the episode disappeared from CZcams!! .. So I have not seen it for 3 years .... I will watch it at least a couple of times later in the month just a bit too soon yet . Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
Stan was quite handy and aggressive in the first 10 years of his tenure. Not a man to be messed with but was still a sociable person. Many layers to him.
He sure was, he beat his 2 disabled kids often during his drunken rages when he came back home, that's why they were both taken into care and never mentioned again.
They acted as though they only had 2 children when in fact they had 4, I think the script writers considered his character to violent and toned him down a bit, thus removing any traces of his previous activities when he first joined the street
I think Irma mentions another daughter in the Ogden’s first episode. Trevor is supposed to have left school at 14 and done a runner and was never really part of their lives again bar the odd appearance.
@@alberttatlock5237 Has Stans domestic violence ever been referenced on screen?
@@awgroom Yes, in the 60's when Stan thinks he's won the pools, and Hilda has to tell him that he hasn't. He flies into a rage and throws a chair through the window: Hilda then runs out of the house. She has a black eye the next day, but tells David Barlow: 'Er, I walked in to something.'
@@alberttatlock5237 Were they disabled? I know there were two more.
I was only 11 when this went out...fell in love with bet....60now still love her r.i.p.Julie .....
Julie Goodyear isn't dead but she is suffering from dementia now.😢 I was just 4 then.
Julie Goodyear is not dead?
Eddie loved the old ladies. A lovelable rogue. Ena and Minnie loved him too. Ena was always there for him in later episodes.
I think he was brought in as a replacement for "Sonny Jim". Very similar characters. Loveable Scouse rogue who was friendly with the old ladies. Coronation Street did that a few times with characters, such as when they brought in Percy as a replacement for Albert Tatlock as the grumpy old man, and Jack and Vera as the replacement for Stan and Hilda's comedy arguing couple after Bernard Youens got ill and couldn't keep up the pace
HAHAHA! 4:06 on... Norris playing a Spanish bloke after Mavis! Hilarious! I never knew he had a part before that!
That Ray is an ignorant bully
I agree! I can't stand him.
Nasty piece of work. But he lived near us at the time and was actually quite nice in real life. Played a good part though, very believable.
@@annoldham3018 The nastiest characters are often played by really nice people. The veteran actress Damaris Hayman said so years ago. She said they don't have anything to hide, so go all out at being nasty when they play those parts.
1970's very early eighties my favourite corrie eras
YES I concur whole heartedly when Elsie, Suzie and Gail were all together.
Ray Langton was a right nasty character.
He is 100% where Tracy got it from
@@cherylreid-panasiewicz6485 Tracey got a little bit from him, but most of what Tracey became was due to Deirdre having several men staying over, Ken and her arguing all the time, ken-s adulterous relationships and so on, Deirdre deceiving everybody with Mike Baldwin. The poor girl was registering all these, but could not breath a word until later on when her character totally changed.
@@mohammaddavoudian7897 Tracey turned out that way because she spent most of her childhood locked in her room "listening to tapes". They never said what was in those tapes but I suspect they were "intellectually improving" talking books picked by Ken. No wonder she went bonkers.
Ray was a nasty g it even before Tracey came along, uncouth and just a hooligan.
@@gilgameshofuruk4060😂😂
Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances! Wouldn't have known him with all that hair, but for the voice!
You can't mistake Eddie Yates! He was in the Royle Family as well.
@@darganx ...And Heartbeat. A great character player. RIP.
@@mohammaddavoudian7897 inspired idea to cast him as Bernie the undertaker mechanic's brother. They could have strung it out for a few episodes before we found out they were brothers though, just for an extra surprise.
@@darganx He was also in Randall And Hopkirk
At 15:21 you can see the shadow of the set microphone over Stan Ogden's head lol
🤣
Note to today's Coronation St. writers 50 years on: watch and learn.
Used to see Stan Ogden ( Bernard Youens outside Granada TV studios in Manchester, he was a really nice person, Hilda was entirely different, wouldn't give you the time of day
Good to see a Hylda Baker impression, she was on Granada at the time.
I wonder how viewers watched it in colour?
With a colour tv I'd expect.
Nice to see a young Norris as Mavis’ boyfriend!
Nikki Brown I just realised that it was Norris!!
No chemistry at all between the Bishops and those children.
No chemistry even between the Bishops😂
Then Ernest telling the father to sit down and shut up. 😮
Newspaper critics knocked 'Crossroads', but all the same mistakes are in this episode of 'Coronation Street', microphone coming into shot and a TV camera, all programmes had the same mistakes, but they were true family shows. Lovely this episode ended the credits rolling to 'Never Walk Alone'.
Lots of shows had such errors in them at the time. Even a big prestige show like The Avengers had a few moments of slippage.
I think what set Crossroads apart was the astonishing self regard the show held itself in. I remember Noel Gordon pontificating about it on chat shows as if it was the jewel in ITV's crown.
@@gilgameshofuruk4060 yes, I remember that Noele Gordon interview, also I expect you know Noele Gordon turned up to work (Crossroads) every morning in her Rolls Royce!! Have you heard the true story about Pamela Vezey (Kath Brownlow in Crossroads) waiting at the bus stop in the pouring rain to go into work, Noele Gordon arrived at work and said to the Crossroads director "Alan darling i think Pamela is going to be a little late this morning, i have just passed her at the bus stop". Many years later Susan Hanson (Diane Parker) relayed that story in an interview, "she didn't give her a lift", asked the interviewer, Susan Hanson shaking her head replied "no no no".
@@SimonandJojo I hadn't heard that! Brilliant. I always thought Noele had an arrogant attitude.
It reminds me of a story about when Elisabeth Sladen returned to Dr Who afte thirty years. There'd been a buffet after shooting. One of the Dalek operators missed it and was waiting for his bus home. A car pulled up, it was Elisabeth offering a lift home and a napkin full of sandwiches. She'd gone looking for him as "They always forgot the Dalek operators in my day".
@@gilgameshofuruk4060 I have only heard nice things about Elisabeth Sladen, very sad when she passed away, she always looked ageless as well.
I believe they didn’t have the time and budget to retake scenes and suspect that the episodes were televised very soon after being filmed.
5:03 Norris Cole's identical twin brother separated at birth lol.
That was him lol
@Volney Harris - you got the whole episode. Great!
18:26 Camera seen behind Stan ready for the next shot with Bet and Eddie.
Old Yates with all his criminal mates and connections to the underworld was hilarious, Eddie was a useless crook and was getting caught all the time, I doubt any self respecting criminal would have anything to do with the bloody clown.
Eddie driving a get away car after a factory wages snatch, would be comical, he'd probably not be able to get the van started, turn up with stans window cleaning trolley, complete with ladders, buckets and stans name and address painted on the side of it
YES! You're back! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
ha ha. Back... with a vengeance!
Auntie Corrie2 welcome, welcome, welcome!
3:13 a UFO flying overhead above Ena
Thank you.
Welcome back!
Ha ha look at Eddie's hair. He wouldn't be out of place in a scrooge film. 😀
Oh, love him.
Yippie, it's Eddie My favourite of all. Norris is a hoot, or should I say Carlos.
Woo hoo! So pleased . 😊😄
YAY ... It's still here!
YNWA at the end credits, love it..
Carlos was Malcolm Hebden ? Norris ? Credits @ 25:18
Yep, that's our Norris alright!
MAVEEEES!
Did the bin outside the corner shop make its first appearance in this episode or a couple of episodes beforehand. It was there for another 10/11 years.
Oh don't get maudlin!😂
Brings me back……
They mek 'em in 'on kong.
Mavis said that she couldn’t go back because it costs too much. So where did she get the money in a matter of months to go back ??! 😂🤣
£1.50 for a box of luxury chocolates , by 'eck, Norris ... oops sorry, Carlos, really pushed the boat out for Mavis at Xmas.
£15.75 in today's money. 🥰
It's the equivalent of around £20 in September 2020 money. Average pay in 1974 was £38 a week for a man, £20 for a woman. All that was before tax, and tax was much, much higher than it is now.
@@th8257 when going m to f didn't pay off
'Ey, that were a lot back then. I can only go by 1980 prices as that's when I started work in a shop, but a half pound box of Milk Tray was 89p.
By the 'eck, them were th'days. Tha could get a bag of crisps, Walkers, mind, not Tudor, a mars bar and a bottle of Panda Cola for 30p.
Vernon scrips rip
the foreigner Bach is actually Norris these days who knew haha
I thought Mavis went to Majorca??! That’s what was said!! 😂🤣
Ena Sharples was vicious
love this equality at its heart forward thinking tony warren gay man thank you xx
Do you have previous episode when Eddie appeared in it
"By the thump, Minnie, I reckon that Carlos, or whatever he calls himself, isn't even Spanish. I wouldn't be surprised if his name turns out to be Norris and he's actually a friend of Mavis's husband that she hadn't met yet."
Ernest been for a dump
You'd think it'd stop him looking terminally constipated. Apparently not.
That Ray Langton and Billy Walker are really an unpleasant couple, if I might say so. I can't stand them!!!
