It was the 70s, they'd have left the baby there until it started howling and then gone for the take, corrie was made quickly and cheaply back then. But life was different, people were different, none of this namby pamby baby culture today, my wife worked in a nursery, in the late 60s early 70s, if a baby was screaming and keeping the other kids awake it'd be put outside in the pram out the back of the village Hall. A kid misbehaved it got slapped, lessons were learned quickly, because that's the world they would have to grow up into. I'm not saying it's right, because it probably wasn't, but that's how things were, nobody believed kids when they accused adults of things, they were told to keep their mouths shut or get a hiding, it was still a time of sweeping things under the carpet and not making trouble. I could tell you lots of other things that would probably shock you, but 50 year's ago it was considered the norm. You'll notice how much they all smoked and drank, and for many it was lunchtime and they walked back to work half cut to do their jobs or drove back to work. Judging by the amount Len drunk he must have been permanently drunk, yet he was driving his van all around the area

Evan AB. I don't know what you mean, that baby didn't cry much! I was expecting to hear him all through the program, the way you were going on!

@Ulo Hun ... Hahahaha.

@@alberttatlock5237 Brilliant peice of how it REALLY was. Still rather be there than here ! 🌟Especially NOW😓 Many thanks Albert xoo

I was ten years old, and now I'm 56! Time flies!

Ross Stratford-Cavendish billy was smokin hot😍

Because he lived next door. He didn't call him Uncle Albert then, of course.

He did seem to hone in on shopkeepers didn't he?

@Tilly Divine I didn't really like Alf for those reasons.

Rubbish! He genuinely liked the women and was more concerned about his job at the post office that he tried very hard to keep.

@@annoldham3018 Strange when his last wife ( Audrey) only...ahem ‘worked’ in a shop due to marrying him.

Makes me laugh when Audrey reminises about alf, she led him a dogs life,,

He and his 3rd wife moved in there when Elsie left Weatherfield with her 3rd husband lol - don't know if he bought no. 11 or rented - Elsie somehow got back in when she returned in 1976

Ken and Janet, his 2nd wife, rented Elsie's house when she left the street for 3 years to look after her husband, who was the guy who played Alan Howard. He had problems with drink, sadly.

Ray Langton,ill mannered pig.

He was a southerner in real life, so he copied Albert Finney's accent. That's what he said in an interview.

@@stevenhighams4190 Albert Finney was from Salford, and they don't pronounce 'one' that way there either. In fact, people from the Greater Manchester area as a whole don't say 'wun'. Quite a few Corrie actors and actresses were from Yorkshire, eg those who played Alf Roberts, Fred Gee, Ivy Tilsley, Vera Duckworth, Chalkie Whiteley, and more recently David Platt, so it's understandable that they speak like that.

@@staceygrove5976 I'm only repeating what Ken Farrington himself said in an interview, that he copied Albert Finney's accent. I'm from Yorkshire, but I don't say 'wun'. I'm from East Yorkshire, though. I think people went for a standard northern accent then and they pretty much got away with it. The funniest thing is that no one ever seems to question Chris Quinten's Teesside accent, or Ivy's parents' Geordie accent when they briefly appeared. PS - just as a matter of interest, are you a T-Rex fan?

@@stevenhighams4190 Yes, I think that the drama schools may well have taught a sort of generic Yorkshire-type accent as an all-purpose Northern one. I remember that in the 1970s series 'The Onedin Line', set in Liverpool, almost everyone spoke in a Yorkshire accent, hardly any Scouse vowels to be heard. Yes, I'm an old T Rex fan - well spotted!

@@staceygrove5976 Me too!

either way he could bungee jump without a rope , did you ever see him in Get Carter ?

roderick scott makes no difference to his acting abilities.

@@Ben6164 doesn,t put me up nor down, have a good day.

@@roderickscott7429 well knowing he could bungee jump doesn't put ME up nor down so have a good day.

@@Ben6164 no worries from me , you can now take Mr Stevens comment to task.
