I've just binge-watched 2 years worth of classic Corrie at a fairly crap point in my life. I stumbled across it on KZfaq after too many wines about a week ago. Thank you ProfessionalGun66 for the quality uploads of a British show that reminds us all of when Corrie was unmissable. Keep 'em coming. xx

Gail and Brian moving into their new house - they reminded me things like toasters and irons used to come with no plug on them - them were the days elecrical appliances with no plugs and suitcases with no wheels - how did we manage

Rita's one liners are brilliant. To Mavis:. Your nostrils are that flared I could back a bus up 'em. 🤣

Such a shame what happened to Peter Dudley, Bert was such a great character pity he wasn’t around longer.

I like Renee. So much better than Audrey I was just listening to an interview with Madge Hindle from 2020. She's 84 now

I honestly think Bill Podmore made a mistake killing off Renee. She was a great character, sarcastic and a hopeless gossip. It’s my 3rd time watching these episodes and I always feel at a bit of a loss.

It's easy to forget how well the actress performs as dithering Mavis.

I have to say it, I can't stand Gail's as she is such a winger and incredibly annoying. Her and Brian are pains in the arse.

Ivy's "our Brian" is too much.

Remember hating ivy and Brian back then. Proper little mummy's boy and ivy was every daughter in law's nightmare. But I suppose that's the greatness of the actors.

Poor Renee - still Madge Hindle must have been relieved it was just the character they killed off - i liked both the character and the actress its a shame she got the chop

This is my third or fourth time watching these great uploads, thanks again. Renee's mother is a pain in the neck!

Ken “Are you not opening up?” Alf “No. no-not yet.” Ken “Everyone understands.” Then why ask, Ken. Alf’ll open the shop when he’s ready. Not right after Renee’s death.

Betty's pityfilled voice does make me smile at times.

Fred is cringe. Arnold telling Emily who can or can not live in her house. 🤐

I loved Renee, she was a great character, funny, sarcastic, quick witted.... then she met Alf and I thought their relationship was brilliant. I saw her die on screen when I was 7 and have never forgotten the sight of her lying on the seat, staring... for me it was a shame they killed her off.

Bet Lynch..brilliant.

No wonder Gail wanted the 1 bedroom house with Ivy squeaking at them like they were 5 years old

Thank goodness for fast forward when The Tilsleys start up.

I listened to an interview with Madge Hindle the other day - she’s still going strong. Said she & Bryan Moseley thought the Renee & Alf relationship was good but that Podmore & others in the cast didn’t think it worked. She said that Bryan was disappointed she was written out because he wanted Alf to have a lasting and happy relationship. She said she’s still good friends with some including Thelma Barlow and that her young daughter hated seeing her on screen death. I think it’s a shame they wrote Renee out. She was more interesting than Alf!

Poor Renee literally just died at the end of July, and already it feels like everyone has completely moved on from her!

Where was Julie Goodyear throughout all the Rene business? Seems strange that Bet wasn't involved as they were such great mates - presumably something personal in real life.

Betty’s taken over ( in a good way) from Ena Sharples. She’d have done what Betty did-ringing the NSPCC.

Emily and Deirdre talk too adult-like to Tracy, about her being ‘competition’ for Deirdre etc.

Hilda makes me laugh 😂 because she loved gossip and can be very nosey lol 😂 thank you 🙏 for the upload I remember the old ones and have many memories

Great actor Peter Dudley.. sadly missed

I always thought it was crazy Brian & Gail wanting to buy a 1brm house rather than rent a 2brm one when they had a baby on the way.

Have you noticed how nearly everyone in the street has their workplace about five minutes from their home.

Gail threatening to move to her mams if u can't get her way if I was Brian I would of packed her cases for her spoilt cow

Why are Gail and Brian buying a one bedroom house with a baby on the way, they should have been looking for a 2 bedroom house so baby 👶🏻 can have a nice nursery,thank you for the upload I ❤the Oldies

Alf was blamed for Renees death by her mother and the guy who was chased away from the shop was Peter Ellis who previously played a policeman, a fireman and another character. He also played a policeman on Emmerdale Farm before playing Chief Superintendent Charles Brownlow in The Bill.

35:36 Lovely gesture, Mike Baldwin offering Hilda and Eddie a lift.

Now I know why Bet told the new barmaid there was something ‘funny’ about Fred, that they didn’t like to draw attention to! So she’d be looking him up and down-and he’d think she fancied him!

Bit puzzled that just after Betty told the kids to cross the road her way, because she saw that copper, she didn't even look before she crossed over the road herself. Loved Betty but that was odd

Loved coronation street in the 70/80s ,it was full of brilliant characters, and very funny compared to todays in name only version my god how boring and depressing it is now, especially miserable eeyore peter barlow,what a depressing character pleade get rid ,bet Betty hilder ogden and stanley ,mrs walker albert tatlock, oh how i wish it was that good again but no not todsy it has to be aimed at the young as if they dont get enough of their own way ,cant stand it now , happy days sadly gone

I wonder if ‘Reg’-the kids’ real dad-could be Reg Holdsworth! Sounds like him...

thx

what's that annoying sort of fluttering sound you hear sometimes through the video? i suppose it's something to do with the tape the recording's are from?

I hate when people do the best out of 3 when there tossing the coin and losing.

Emily has no good judgement or instincts whatsoever over this slimeball Arnold. I can pick a bad person a mile off. Always have been able to. It's interesting that this outdoor set has a real viaduct that people can go through. I don't remember the second outdoor set, which would have been from 1982, from what I remember ever having one. And Grape Street was a real residential street in Manchester from what I've read. So why didn't Granada keep the real houses and just build half front facades?

Eddy had a big heart.

47:39 Bert was right. Bloody ell Ivy!

That's Mavis's fancy man.

In later years, Arthur turned up as Mr Dulcie Froggatt. 2:17:25

That Arleens husband is the same one who was the blondes husband who fancied Fred a few years earlier

What makes me laugh is the fact that Alf looses his wife and it’s forgotten about in about 5 mins!

Grieving or not if I was Alf I would have just told Renee's mother and stepfather to stay in a hotel. I wouldn't have had her staying with me.

WHY, in the name of Christ, would Mrs Walker leave that dafty, Fred, in charge?

It just goes to show how different we all are because i cldnt stand Renee's Voice or character and was glad when she went and Bert got on my nerves too, never missed him either.

Listen up, you lot. Baldwin will show you how it’s done. 🤣

Mike was pretty down to earth

1:26:56 Hilda scores one in the eye for Mrs Walker 😂

Ivy works sitting down so she has sat down all day

54p for 3 Sunday papers!!

2:20 Betty was so sweet - pity she was underused in latter years. My earliest memories are of watching Corrie on Irish TV with my mum in the early 80s. She has been watching it since the 60s! It's funny to see a young-Gail, years before OurBrian® was murdered and she was driven into the canal by yer man 😂

Deirdre putting pressure on poor Alf just after his loss. She was so pushy and selfish back then.

I still cant work out why Brian had a Geordie accent.

So, the truck driver who loved Yorkie bars ended up as a policeman in Weatherfield...

Church bells in back ground dont hear them anymore

First time I’ve heard church bells down coronation street 🤔

Mikes unbuttoned shirt and medallion 😂😂😂

George played the grandad in bread

42:42 Shut up, Fred!

It doesn't take much to be beter than Audrey.

2:44:50 psycho / red flag alert Emily...

Emily, Emily, your being manipulated.

I liked Freds wife Edna, she was fun and glamerous - its a shame she got killed off - i think Vera Duckworth was brought in to replace her they were similar type characters

Ken in a leopard print leotard! 🤢😂

Good grief Emily 🆘 At 1:04:45⁉️😢 did he jump at the chance of 9-11????🎬👁️🤯👁️⚖️ As a wizard once said? RUN YOU FOOL🤫😭⚖️🎬🆘🎭🇬🇧💯👍🤯✌️

Hilda was poisoned chalice at times. Her interfering & thirst for gossip went way too far sometimes… I mean even spreading scandal and bad words about the death of Renee & Alfs possible drinking. Alf wasn’t even at the damn wheel when Renee died & her car was stationary.. FFS!.. it was a pure accident..,

1:51:15 is Fred wearing Len’s jacket?

SHE WAS DRIVING. Why are they flipping out because Alf had too much to drink and she decided to drive?? I don’t understand how he is at fault, he was NOT behind the wheel. She was probably over the limit as well, even more NOT ALFS FAULT

Sorry to say corrie now are days is not same

Notice Ivy didnt toast

Ok Emily red flags popping up regarding your boyfriend!

If Brian and Gails new house is a one bedroom I'll eat me hat 😊

1:35:32 MCFC

Where was Renee's brother??

Steri milk on the Ogden table 🤢

Deirdre was a very attractive woman.

Arnold was right bossy.

Is the children's mother the same woman Emily Bishop took in when she was being beaten up by her husband?

29:37 : )

How can Betty say the mother is a misery she's lost her daughter Betty wea misery when her son Gordon got married and she wasn't there and Ken saying are you opening up

Catty Emily. ??The biggest snob on the street.

Youse housewifes could learn something from what happened to poor Renee - Stop nagging your menfolks for petty reasons and make sure he leaves the house with a big smile on his face - It mught be the last time you see him alive

Alf Roberts should man up for driving in honor of his wife's accident

Corr!…. The new Barmaid Arlene was a bit of Alright…. Bet was jealous of her… She was well sexier than beehive bet… Mind you the thought of Fred Gee thinking he’d got any kind of chance of pulling her… Don’t make me laugh… Old Ten Bellies Fred stood no chance…

The character of Fred Gee was evil.
