How marvelous to have all these episodes at our finger tips. Thank you so so much for these wonderful episodes, I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting in.

I’m not normally a Mike Baldwin-defender, but Maggie bringing their son to the wedding and parading him in front of Mike is just so nasty.

Elsie looks very beautiful in her Matron of Honour outfit.

dear elsie always looks glam

Thelma Barlow really did a fantastic job playing Mavis. It must have been exhausting! We all know someone a bit like Mavis.

Hilda flashing her cash machine card made me smile. They were something of a novelty back then, especially for older people, many of whom didn't have bank accounts

the first full month without Annie Walker. It's amazing how they can write people out of a show without you even noticing. Just look Ena Sharples.

I have always loved the character Curly Watts. My husband didn't recognize Kevin Webster so young!

It's great to see Curly and Terry in the show. Thank you so much, Love these oldies.

1983 saw the departures of Annie Walker, Len Fairclough, Bert Tilsley, and Eddie Yeats (although Eddie returned for a short period in 1987).

The Ken Barlow School of Journalism: or How to Start a New Job and Make Enemies of Management and Customers Alike in One Easy Step: 1. Have an agenda to destroy an old love rival. 2. Have a do-gooding social conscience guaranteed to aggravate everyone except Emily and Mavis. 3. Just be Ken Barlow.

Mavis would be at home in a Dickens novel, she really is rather eccentric.

When the show started to die no eddie after this Yr no len no annie albert and stan died the next year 😢

Poor Bernard Youens, he could hardly talk coherently at this stage, it would have been better if they’d preserved his dignity and given him a smaller part.

Ken is not only boring,he's faintly sinister too.

I agree many thanks for all your time and effort that you must have put in to upload all these episodes. I am really enjoying re watching all these classic corries from the80,s

I loved marion and eddy

It's funny how when binge watching these episodes the things I notice that I didn't really notice before. What a nasty vile character Fred Gee was. And just how boring Ken Barlow's scenes were. I realised of course that Ken was boring but not exactly how much.

Loving these classic Coronation Street episodes thank you,one thing I dont understand is the layout of the Rovers I mean the Select part of the bar were the wedding is should be out on the street if you look at the Rovers from the outside

Geoffrey Hughes never wanted to leave and have the character marry. He felt it was against his character.

Curly and his 2 A levels 🙄..Good money on the bins and you get a brew at Stan and Hilda's ..loving these uploads

That gorgeous deep anthracite colour of paint thats on the hallway & stairs newell posts in Deirdre & Ken house is almost the exact colour of paint i once used Years ago Id gone to a jumble sale in quite a posh area & found 2 large tins of unopened paint on the Bric a Brac stall It was by a company from the Midlands i think or Wolverhampton called Manders Paints & the colour was called ANTELOPE I absolutely loved the colour, both in the pot & when it dried on the wall It had a soft satin sheen & i had 3 walls in my bedroom painted in this Antelope & the 4th wall in Antique Cream The effect was sensational So much so, i painted some main areas downstairs too. I wish i could find this colour again! Im not sure if the company exists anymore or was taken over But it was about 1978 so chances its still being manufactured are slim. Im pretty sure the colour is exactly the same though! I loved it way back then & while decorating styles & colours change radically & what we once loved, we find many years hence, they are revolting But after seeing " my " colour on Deirdres hall & stairs, im still very impressed with it & would still use it now! Its just so unusual & goes with so many other colours I remember having this beautiful deep Raspberry Wild Satin Eiderdown & Counterpane on my bed & it was extremely complimentary with the Antelope Painted walls. Regards 🇬🇧👧

Watching these in chronological order and wallowing in the memories, the witty well written scripts and the skilled acting. Today's Currie is so.over the top, murders, kidnappings, assorted acts of violence, these episodes are too subtle and nuanced for.today's audiences

I remember this episode and have many memories watching this as a teenager with my mum, I’m so happy 😁 for Eddie and Marion, i love ❤️ the old ones of Corrie better than today

Brilliant these old golden oldies really love watching them Thank you very much for posting all of these they’re are the best past time ever,,

It's odd in the Rovers now with no Annie Walker . The way the characters talk about her is strange because you expect her to turn around any minute. Another thing is the camera angles , from the opposite side of the floor.

1:30:47 is this just an edit glitch or am I missing a point? Love these old episodes of Corrie. When it was at its finest, in my opinion. Love seeing all the shots from the old exterior set. It breaks my heart that it no longer exists. All of those iconic memories and people who walked down them over the years. All of that history just gone. 💔

Maggie has no right to treat Mike that way. He should have took her to court for access.

God the more I watch of this show I am more addicted to it I love the drama and the fights are awesome

Maggie looks like Charlie Chaplin in that wedding hat ...

Much appreciated, thankyou.

Strokes seemed to be a curse on coronation street, on and off screen

Poor Dedrie Rashids Neck is starting to start.

Deirdre can't even sell a jelly without bringing Tracy into it ... the scriptwriters must have been keeping count.

Seems like there were a lot of newcomers in 1983, Percy, Kevin, Terry and Curly all go on to be regular characters for many years: Also sadly a lot of popular characters leaving 😢

Had to fast forward to avoid Ken and his narcissistic ways, I cannot abide him and Fred makes me want to vomit.

Fred the actor and Fred the character were very similar apparently.

Emily Bishop was always my favorite a proper woman above the rest

30:35... Here comes slimy Barlow...

I couldn't stand Des Foster at the time, but now I think he might have made an interesting full-time addition to the cast. Him and Sam Kelly's very funny character made a pretty good double act.

I’ve laughed so much at the budgie storyline 😂 brilliant 😂

Mavis is so absurd😂 So funny

Did Bet ever get a decent man who actually cared for her? A decent proposal? Anyone who didn't want to just take advantage of her (Alec not included as he left her to go work on a cruise ship). Poor woman had life imitate art all her life it seemed.

24:55 Elsie's coat...she's working in a factory yet she has designer clothes. Most of her wardrobe apparently was her own.

I think Elsie is slot better looking than Rita and slot better Actress

Honestly can't believe BogFace Barlow is actually worse when he was younger... Could never stand his self righteous charecter in the new years I have seen, but assumed he got worse as he got older.. horrible patronizing person.. "good girl" to Diedre smh and refusing all the advertising for local place he doesn't want because of Mike... WOW

It's strange at the reception, Marion greets Maggie, who she has worked with everyday for years, and acts like she has never met Maggie's baby before!

That wedding reception was on a par with the worst wake you could imagine 🤣. Fred did nothing but eat and drink when you see these back to back😮

Poor Stan he's just getting huge.

Hilda forgot to take her card out of the machine

Emily failed to mention her first wedding in the '60s, when she left the groom at the altar.

Just an observation. Its November and not an armistice poppy in sight, times have changed.

So whats Bett's problem with Des!? She dumped her married boyfriend because she isn't the one who busted of his marriage! Apparently she thinks she should've been the only side chick he ever had.😂😂😂

At 2:56:40 Stan is holding his birth cert. Shame they never showed up a close up, but going by info in the serial and in books about the show, the cert should have said 17 May 1919, and his parents were Isaiah Ogden and Mary Ogden (Nee Pearson). A Corrie book from 1987 says Stan's mother Mary was a Pearson by birth.

Have you noticed there’s no door under the stairs in the houses. In our house we shove all sorts there!

Rita isn’t as funny as thinks she is on par with her singing.

So Hilda met Stan by tripping over him during the Blackout, when he was slumped in the doorway of a Co-Op...😅😅😅

Ken directing his anger to Mike is such rubbish, Mike didn't come to deidre, deidre went for Mike.😂😂

That annoying Sally woman who shares Ken's room of hellish boredom, is played by the same actress that ripped Brian Tilsley off in the petrol station years ago.

All Ken does is put on his glasses and takes them off again

Worst casting decision to get rid of Eddy.

Not Des Foster again, can't stand that creepy guy and all the long lingering stares and glares across the bar 🙄

It's back to the 70s for me downhill from here

I'm confused. Is a cludgie an outside loo?

Hate Fred he never stops sniffing

Leave it to Mavis to put her miserable 2 cents worth

Awesome 👍

Don't know who directed the wedding scenes in the pub, but it was strangely quiet, no ambience, when they do parties in The Select, it's usually really jolly & bustling, shame!

Ken is such a crap character

2:32:15 Get it right! The 'debonair dynamo of denim'

You would think Ken was running the world instead of writing for a free newspaper....Sheeeeesh

Hilda drawing cash out of the machine , brilliant

Jean Alexander ( Hilda) must have found it difficult to act with Stan when he was clearly poorly …..🤷🏼‍♂️

Is that function room the wedding reception is in supposed to be in the tiny Rovers? 😂

what happend to the funtion room at the rovers return we never see the room in corrie today

How archaic were those early ATM's, lol.

Must have been strange talking about Annie W …as she was never gonna appear again 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

What Mike didn’t know at the time was that he had another soon and possibly 2 grandsons by that stage

I'm 71 and watched Coronation street with my nan and grandad, in black and white years ago. This spring 2023 I started from scratch, watching again. Since early 1970s I hadn't seen it at all. Weeks of memory lane pleasure so far. Drove me to tears sometimes. I found Len Fairclough very sleezy even before I heard why he left. The way he mauled and pecked at Rita who clearly didn't like it. I can't imagine how some actors got the job. Fred Gee was too vile. Gail was too simpering . Vera horrible. Ken has abusive husband/ serial killer vibes. Hilda is the jewel in the crown. Jack is trash. Baby Nicki has been a star, so bright from day one! Where is he today?

The Curly/Emily Era, pretty boring stuff.

When pubs were pubs. I😢

Can someone please explain to me why it is that the front room of Number 11 is a bedroom?

There is no bedroom in a house on coronation street that would have a door and window in that conjugation like Elsie’s

Hilda left her card on the atm 😳

Xxx!. Thanks

1.38.58 Don’t think much of the ‘decorating’-a few white smears randomly on the wall! Looks worse now!

marion was a right pain she got on my nerves all that deep breathing she did poor eddie . 3:13:04

Oo no, I’m not sayin’ e was a dunce. I’m just sayin’ what ‘e learned at school could be wrote on the head of a pin and still leave room for the Lord’s Prayer. 😂😂

Emily dont like the black pudding - horrified she was when Curly mentioned it - horrified

3:07:00 "when ye say, this is thunderfelt.." surely somebody RUMBLED..

Goodness Mavis is pathetic, she is frightened of her own shadow.

Stan was in no fit state to play darts with Percy.

Changed days, she’s sitting with a brandy talking about her pregnancy!

To think if the actress who played Marions mum hadnt had a stroke Eddie and Marrion could have stayed in Coronation Street a lot longer

Bet is really irritating at this stage

A teeth filling at that age shame on you Deirdre

How in the world does this newspaper make any money being free??!

What a matter Jack got Engine trouble 😅😂1:38

Elsie, looks very much like Rita. I usually get those 2 confused 🫤. They even have the same hair color.

Ed and Marian are so cute
