I am loving these, spending far to much time watching when I really should be doing stuff. They are addictive.

April 1990: the crucial month of beginnings and endings. Goodbye Harriet! Plus last view of the original Kabin, as Rita blows a kiss to all the old times in there. The start of handsome Dave Beckett's and the lovely Anne Kirkbride's real-life romance. And the last episodes my Corrie fan Dad ever saw, he died before end of the month, April 1990. Thank you for adding these.

Wonderful to watch these episodes. Prefer them to today's programmes

the downfall of Barlow is joyous to behold

I enjoyed seeing self righteous Ken getting a good thumping from Baldwin and treated as a pariah by the street. He was always an arrogant patronising condescending character.

Ken is abusive person who wants total CONTROL of everything .

The Barns were horrible characters

Ken is such a plank everyone elses fault except him

The cracks are starting to show in Wendy and Ken’s relationship and I’m glad sally got her own back on Steph and doesn’t Deirdre have a relationship with Dave? Oh I’m so glad these videos are uploaded thank you so much…

Jenny Bradley has to be one of the most unbearable characters ever brought to the street.

How awful is Ken. How dare he have a go at Deirdre - she’s a latch key kid because he pissed off. He also encouraged D to become a councillor. He’s just awful. And where were his children? Dumped in Scotland as soon as their mother died.

Ken seizing the opportunity to use the fire to shift the blame to Deidre, for the break down of their marriage, was well out of order.

I started watching at Jan 1978 a few months ago. I've all but abandoned all my subscriptions. Seeing Ken getting roughed up by Baldwin was superb ... then cut screen to Diedre and Dave kissing 👌Thanks for uploading.

Deirdre's hair ...what in the world?😂

Ken is such a caring parent and he's never taken careof ANYof his kids ( Plank )

What a nostalgic little goldmine! Thank you for taking the trouble to put all these together 👍😉💙

Ugggggghhh, a shirtless Ken Barlow. Why? Why? Whyyyyyy? I can’t unsee it.

Sorry Ken but you are wrong, she did not kill the marriage. All she did was try and get a wee bit of life outside the house, something you pushed her into. He is such a sanctimonious pompous git and he lost any "right on his side" when he blamed her for the failure of the marriage, what a fud. Goodness if my maw could see me now she would be laughing her head off ;-).

T'hanks for these uploads. I never hot a chance to watch these as i moved to another country in 1984

I think Jenny buys her clothes, at the same place Rita buys her newspaper bags.

46:32 oh no Ken put a shirt on please 🤣🤣🤣

It's a bit off letting Tracy go off in Decorator Dave's car....at this stage Dierdre doesn't know him from Adam.

Ken getting a satisfying dose of karma. I'm enjoying that. But even that doesn't make up for the Barnes couple. They're thoroughly ghastly.

Additive... can't put down a good novel...loving a good British soapy 👍🏼😎👍🏼

One of Curlys best mates is a mechanic the first thing he would have done before buying the car would be to get his mate to look at the car first

Barlow Got His Arse Kicked By Baldwin, He Took Out Barlow Like A Prize Fighter 🥊🥊

Thankyou so much for sharing these episodes xx

Argghg the sweaters of the 80s and 90s. I still have panic attacks when I see acrylic😂

Percy, the old bastard, is forever quoting the rules to other folk, and without proper authority, taking it upon himself to enforce the rules. Yet, for whatever reason, he doesn't think the rules apply to him.

Ewww@46:32 ffs Stop it! Is it not enough these two have the same hair style..now we have to endure the bare chested Ken😧

Ken's got a cheek blaming dreary for the break up... !

The highlight at the moment is Sally getting revenge 🤣

Ken talks about Tracy as if she was three, not thirteen.

Love Jacks motorbike hobby/passion. Percy, hibernating. 😂Bang out of order what Barlow did to Curly regarding the car. Mike Baldwin owed Barlow what he gave him, after Barlow walked into Mikes office at the old factory and hit him.

Thank you.

Vera shouting after Ken and Wendy in Wendy's street. I was hoping for some curtain twitchers😂

Ohhh, Ken at 21.40 ...supercilious bugger, how dare he...I've never wanted to slap him so much as then, if I'd been Deirdre I'd have physically shoved him out the door 😡

Ken sure is sulking a lot. He caused his own misfortune. watched some more. Ken is really having a bad month. +_+

do you think the scripwriters spent hours coming up with storylines that made ken even more boring?

Ken " i stand by my principles" Barlow rips off young lad Curly.. what a pikey 😂

Good old Vera having a pop at Barlow !!

I'm laughing at how all the men's mistakes - Reg Holdsworth, Ken Barlow - seem to be the fault of women.....

Good Lord I love our little swampduck Vera ❤

28:47 oh yes, he became Anne’s real life fella!

Alf has such a soft spot for Rita ☺️x Love the new Cabin x

thank you !!!!!!

What a sanctimonious sod Ken Barlow is. Announcing how he’s not going to pursue the chip pan fire (but not for Deidre’s sake) He was the one who cheated on her, moved in with another woman & wrecked their marriage entirely. How magnanimous of him to say it’s for Tracy’s sake & not for the ex wife he cheated on & knowing full well that she’s a good mother.

Percy reminds me of my brother, 74 and still working part time.

Sally and Kevin really do my blooming head in, all they seem to do is shout at one another and her voice really grates on you. I see Mavis and Derek are as dithery as always, my god you would think she was burying more than a budgie!

Why on earth did they keep ken barlow in the series SO long? He cant act to save his life and was and is SO boring😔

4.30 hrs. That made my day. Ken's getting what he had comming; for a long time!

Im sure the heating & plumber who put out the fire at Deirdres is her real life husband I remember he wasn't in it long But Anne Kirkbride did marry him Regards 🇬🇧👧

Ken Barlow can be nasty when he wants to be fretening curly I think 🤔 Vera should go and sort that Ken out lol 😂

I love Vera going into bat for Curly. Ken should have used some profit from the car to pay for the repairs. He was paid more than he originally wanted for the car. I haven’t finished watching the entire month yet. Am waiting to see what transpires. There’s no good will on Barrow’s part yet. He sold a bung car and doesn’t give a damn.

22:26 - bloody hell Ken.

Ken the grump.

Anne Kirkbride really did have a models figure. She was quite slender in these years and perhaps tall too?

2:05:39, mavis has a flask of tea when she's literally next to a cafe

If anyone knew anything about mattresses, it would be Audrey. She came to Weatherfied with a mattress strapped to her back, if you get my meaning.

Coronation street in this era was an escape, light hearted, jacks story about the budgie 😂😂😂😂😂😂 nowadays corrie is too much like real life i get its issues of now they are addressing but real life is depressing enough without the soaps being depressing too.

yes wiltons are like Terry and June the tea plot same

The cheek of Gail eating the face of sally

Oh my God. Ken Barlow. From being the founding member of "the beige brigade" to being shirtless. All the sex appeal of a moth sitting on a cowpat.

Felicity should have had more parts .. she’s cool and a good mate

The guy who went into the fire was I think, Anna Kirkbride's boyfriend at the time or maybe husband.

Aw god where did that jenny come from taught seen last of her 😮😮😮

Apart from Emily there isnt a single person who i care about. The pub scenes are more realistic but watching young people drinking and behaving badly is not entertainment. This era has no gravitas. The older cast are getting swamped by the mediocrity of the new. Or maybe i'm just a miserable old git, in which case i apologise.

1:14:45 classic Vera 😂😂

Oh Kevin Webster had to sleep on the couch aye. And all because of Des Barnes and his wife Steph Barnes and that crazy thing shaving off Kevin's mustache. Well it did need to come off sooner rather than later didn't it.

Sally had told Jenny that she could stop over, they had an extra bedroom, a few months back. Why couldn't Kevin sleep in the extra bedroom?

Everyone ganging up on Ken 😂 love it

Has Gail ever thought about contraception? What the heck .

Eeeh, Wendy; was that cod in parsley sauce with frozen veg? Maybe a Bird's Eye MenuMaster?

why is Wendy calling her mother Sylvia.

Deirdre's voice getting more and more gruff as the 90s goes on

A wonderful episode yet again. I didn't know David was almost aborted.. Ken needed another roughing up. Vera big mouth oh my gosh she irritates one. Lol thanks Eve.

Mavis, Derek and budgiegate... I want to scream!

Love all these so many memories Ken v Mike they cut out when Ken says Bastard then the punch up!!

Could you please post a warning if Ken is shirtless? 🥴

I could be wrong, but I think this is the about the time that Lynne Perrie started to want to update & 'improve' how she looked, which ended possibly not quite as she expected or may have liked. - Update - Apparently the surgeries that caused her issues were in 1994, but I can see her trying to look better on screen already.

Gail's got her selfish head on.

Dreary living in that burned out house .....wow

What a scumbag Ken is selling Curley a dodgy car. 😡

I think Deidre's clothes are really nice through this period of time. Council clothing, maybe.

Ken Barlow is loosing it a bit… what a melon 😂

Omg I loathe Gail,,,,,,

Kevin without the Mario brothers moustache is dreamy, now I can see he has those strong, thick eyebrows I love on a man 😊 I'm happy for Sally ❤ I also like Martin, he's handsome too. Curly is handsome and nice when not whingeing

4:37:38 Gail is such a horrible person. Not telling Martin is why out of order but typical - fathers have no rights. She's got to have the worst hairstyles ever!

Barlow Is Hitting The Skids🥴🤕

Rita always looks so elegant..love her clothes..

Women on corrie sure are hard hearted

1:53:45, somebody remembered to turn the lights on mid take

Reg spying oh my god this like double trouble 😅😅😅😅😅

You have to feel sad for Martin's kid trapped inside Gail while she's constantly nagging, moaning and generally unpleasant, all's normal there then. Jack's motorbike rebuild story looked promising but the writers gave up on it. Plus it's weird seeing Mike and Ken on a sort of a reset. Now they are just in line with everyone else although it is fun watching Ken spinning slowly down the plughole. Massive continuity error at the beginning as Rita tells Emily that Harriet died even though she knows it already. 4:10:58 Gail is so discusting! 4:29:45 Wow! "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

Jim forgets that The English were very cruel to Ireland 🇮🇪

2:15:03 really sweet moment

3:06 does anyone know where the filming location is?

Ken is just as bad Jenny and Emily.

Oh. Now I get it. If you're Percy's employer, and you don't want to be compared to Hitler, do not force Percy to abide by the rules that apply to all of your other employees,.

2:26:18 Rita lounging in her ‘Golden Girls’ style sofa 😂😂😂😂😂
