Thank you so much for loading these wonderful old episodes, great entertainment,and wonderful unforgettable characters back then. God bless them, and the script writers too. 😍🤩

RIP Meg Johnson who died recently. She played Eunice here, but also starred in Brookside, Emmerdale and a number of Victoria Wood sketches.

Some cracking acting by Pat Phoenix.

If I had a choice between Eddie and Ken...I'd take Eddie anytime .

For all her nosiness and gossiping, Hilda had a heart of gold. Loved her and Stan as a couple. Probably the only couple I did love.

I remember as a teenager watching these episodes with my mum, I think Elsie plays a great character (R.I.P. pat phoenix) I also love ❤️ it when bet (juile Goodyear) speaks her mind, Hilda was talking about princess di I remember that day we had street parties 🎈 it was brilliant

Poor Mavis, when talking to Deidrie about imagining a dream in which she is a guest at Charles' and Diana's wedding, and Deidrie interprets it as Mavis being the bride. She's so overcome with the idea that a dream would have taken her to those dizzy heights, she envisioned the Queen glaring at her every time she licked a stamp. She can't even dare to fantasise, though of course in reality, it's something she does constantly. It's such a well written and performed scene and sums up how endlessly trapped, frustrated and curtailed she is in every way.

Gilly Coleman plays ‘The Stripper’…then 5 years later, Aveline in ‘Bread’ She was great, sadly passed so young.

I’m amazed at how much detail I remember now from when I watched them as a child

Back in the days when people were true professional actors and actresses.

These later Elsie tanner episodes are making me weep

Awesome upload as always!!!! The Golden days of the Street 👍👍

Eddie’s mate-Del Boy. “E is a proper jeweller! ‘E just doesn’t ‘ave a shop-only a little brown suitcase.” Wonder if he has a yellow 3 wheel van, too?

1:27:54 - Annie is just flaming brilliant ! That reaction is priceless 😂

Whenever Fred has to stress a point or has had more than a couple of people to serve, he gets all breathless and over the top.

I love the old episodes. Before my time but the characters are great. I'm happy to fast forward Annie walker and Fred and Ken and Deirdre.

Pat Phoenix on top form here.

i wish elsie and len had married they would have made one hell of a couple .

Eunice's daughter Debbie, doing her best to win the 'Most Irritating Female Character of all Time' award. Sadly for her, there's Gail.

Weird that all the time Vera was staying with the Tilsleys and even Jack meeting up with Bert, Terry never even gets mentioned! He would have only been a young lad then.

Classic dialogue. Vera “Not like that stingy, miserable...” Ivy “Jack.” Vera “Oo, yeah-Jack. That’s his name. D’you know-it slipped me’ mind for a minute.” 😂😂😂

At 1.28 love the way Annie walker looks straight into the camera

Thank you again for these uploads 😊

Mavis’s hairdresser must have really hated her.

There is no spark between Deirdri & Ken.

47:16. Funny enough Ken’s mum says devil in the first episode of coronation street. “That new pullover has turned out a treat. I won’t knit you another in that colour though - navy blue plays the devil with my eyes.”

Uncle Albert with his reference to "Gerry Car" - fantastic old War Lord. Classic.

Genius storyline when gobby Vera becomes the wayward teenage daughter Ivy and Bert never had! The dynamics between those three characters when Vee lands in their house uninvited, are hilarious. There's Vera, grabbing the chance of some extra marital fun with Harry and to hell with the consequences, because lazy Jack takes her for granted. She's totally out of control enjoying her second childhood - the house guest from Hell! Then there's poor Bert who finds Vera as sexy as a pan scrub and sees her not so much as a woman, more a walking mouth who frequently wakes him up, and eats him out of house and home (41:09 "Hello gannet!"). And of course there's the small matter of Vera cheekily using his razor behind their locked bathroom door, and blunting it on her bikini line! But Ivy's response to the new, 'menage a trois' is funniest of all. She is actually possessive over her husband and a little bit threatened by her pal. She flies into a frenzy every time Vera's standing in front of Bert in her Woolworth's nylon nightie, or says something suggestive, or cheekily kisses him on the top of his balding head. Vera just can't help herself, she's a born flirt (Bert - "Know what I mean?!!") To most people Vera's a joke, but in Ivy's eyes she's Marilyn Monroe, with the potential to turn her beloved Bert's head. In truth, Vera's more likely to turn Bert's stomach - especially when he finds out where she's been putting his razor!

I noticed all of the wedding cakes at the weddings have been square. That must have been the style in Britain back then. And in my opinion, Fred has the nicest one. At least it had the ribbon around it that matches the wedding color of the bride’s outfit. All others were just all white.

Love Rita's impression of Mavis at 9:00 😆

By 2023 you COULD live in a car ! Referring to Gail and Brian's visitor who said " You can't live in a car " , so it must have been unheard of at the time.

All ivy and Bert do is eat 😂😂😂

It's a shame Mrs Walker couldn't just give into Eunice, she really is quite nice (at this point), just let her do the meals and put her feet up for a bit.

1:54:00 As someone who only knows Jack and Vera from what they say about them on more modern Corrie, this first impression of them is WILD.

Poor old Albert. Shame on Ken 😔

Ken moves in Uncle Alberts home an start demanding to install his ways Dederie deserves what she gets she's just like ken

"You're an ugly, fat dustbin man", I love Stan 😂😂😂🤣🤣

How could Else let that creep stay with her ? She has low self esteem .

The stripper is playied by the beautiful Gilly Coman, aka Aveline from the classic TV show Bread!!!

Rita did the best impersonation of Mavis Riley anywhere.

"I know, you keep reminding me"...Vera

I'm guessing they had to learn thier lines quickly. So many times in these early episodes you can see where they nearly forget their lines. But still better than the corrie of today.

Gabrielle Daye was simply too old to play Beattie, only 10 years younger than Jack Howarth

Good on Eddie. Payback for pie crust on the bin lorry.

Men do tend to stick together. Women are always the first to tear each other to pieces, especially when a man's involved.

Good product placement for Ajax

Down Glossop way says Vera - thats where I grew up; 9 Burwell Close, Nanna in Failsworth

bert tilsley got done for solicitation in a public convenience. that's why he was written out of the show

Why? When every time I look at Fred I see zippy from rainbow

How old is uncle Albert then? His daughter looks like she's in her 70s.

that was a marriage doomed from the start Fred was desperate to find a wife as he couldnt get a woman cant say im suprised and she was just a grabbing cow desperate for status and getting away from her dad! mind ken and Deidre was not much better!

1:52:05 Ivy and Bert have their telly in an odd place.If the chair Ivy’s in is obscuring it, why even have it?

“By ‘eck/by the ‘eck” count - 227.

Ray Langton must have been laughing his arse off at the idea of Dreary living with Albert and Ken.

Why can’t Vera have Brian’ s bedroom whilst she staying at IVY’S and Bert’s house? I love ❤️ the old ones of coronation street the storylines were good 👍

True acting is a lost art. Very much so. Too much reliance on technology and special effects, which are both extremely unreliable. Yet we are told time and again, that they are both better for us and humanity. So sad!

to see them nowadays chasing pathetic woke storylines is a crying shame

Ken and Dreary are so condescending to Uncle Albert and his elderly daughter ... they infantilize them as comical nuisances.

The producers were wrong for destroying all her wardrobe on purpose because she wanted to dress nice.

Gail NEVER says anything positive or nice to Nicky. Writers did him wrong

Can’t blame Fred for being angry. I mean he didn’t much like Eddie before-then Eddie nearly ruins his wedding.

Gail, "I could listen to that all night," Barry Manilow?

Big Fred getting married kinda ruined the charter I love the Actress Meg , but Eunice was annoying

Deirdre and Ken on the sofa there’s not much passion in that kiss.

01:54:50 - jack looks quite menacing, dont remember him looming that 'ard.

Is there missing episodes when did creepy Colin try it on with Gail???

Awww poor uncle Albert

“He’s taking the stripper home.” Good for him! 😂🤣

Where is the scene when the neighbour makes a pass at Gail???

Both Ken and Albert holding their teacups with their left hands - how strange

Ken-word of advice. Don’t THiNK of letting a certain Liverpudlian bin man have anything to do with your wedding.

I’m sure the one playing the stripper later went on to play Aveline in Bread..

Here is jack 2:05:52 SU garden Starkey and Hutch 2:06:07 😅😅😅😅 SU garden

That friend of Brian Tilsley was creepy as...

Nothing better than a Fred Gee stag party.

Do we ever find out what Bert means?

Uncle Albert is a pain an belongs in a home

Ivy selfish and mean to the core

Our Tracy

Like the crockery on Ivy and Bert’s table

1:51:48.... Great impression

Does Ivy live in a house or a Chapel? So many "graven images".

Apart from anything else, that Sue was more annoying than a corncrake on speed.

The GOOD olde days of Corrie.....when it was harmless, fun viewing etc......."worth" watching...........poor Hilda "always" trying to make a silk shirt out of a soars ear.... etc where Stan was concerned....always trying to make somethng look good out of nothing.he led her a drudgery of a life...............

Which wife was Ken better suited to Valerie Janet or Deirdre?

They could have helped Alf with his buttonhole....

2:38:49 Aww bless him. Response to article only.

Fred's intended is clearly going to be very much a fair weather wife.

I'm becoming less and less sympathetic with Elsie's self-inflicted troubles - and her self pity.

Jack is a terry Tracy doing toy doll awww playing cupit 2:28:22 SU garden james bond ken

Did English houses not eat in a dining room u come in the front door dining area and kitchen living room😊

Ivy was the most bossy irritating woman in soap and Gayle was the perfect DIL for her, whiney, never happy, and always finding fault or moaning.

Uncle Albert. 😂😊

Is the episode where Bill Fielding’s wife did wreck Elsie’s house anywhere?

Deidre’s screechy voice can’t stand it.

That sue character was very annoying

2:09:34 😂😂😂😂😂

ajax!

I watched Corrie for the first time in forty years, and could still pick up the storyline!!! Utter Shite!!

Fred, yer such a big girls blouse...Lol
