The brilliant Doris Speed. She was the best. RIP

When Doris Speed died in 1994, Bill Roache said that the early years of the street could be summed up in 3 words- Ena, Elsie & Annie. In the same way that Den & Angie helped define the early years (and success) of EastEnders, Annie & Jack gave the first 10 years of the Street a mix of intelligence, wit and heart.

the deliciously catty social one-upmanship between Annie Walker and Nellie Harvey is a total joy ...those two could have sustained their own sitcom.

One of the interesting things I like about old Coronation Street is that you can see just how much social attitudes have changed. In this case, attitudes to age. Back in those days, people were 'old' at a much earlier age. It's interesting that Nelly Harvey talked about being 'spritely' in her 50s. I don't think anyone these days would consider being in your 50s as being in any way old.

Annie Walker was like Harriet Oleson on Little House On The Prairie. She would have turned over in her grave if she knew that The Rovers was teetering on Bankruptcy.

Doris Speed played the role very well, in 1983 it was discovered she was a staggering 15 years older than she said she was, and she was burgled so took a break and never returned to the show. Billy Walker returned in 1984 but did not stick around long sadly.

This might seem trivial, but she wears the same coat from b/w to colour episode. I've never seen that happen before. And now here's what it looks like in colour - too cool.

Began watching around 1979; thought she was from somewhere else judging by her snooty attitude and was somewhat ‘slumming it’. Came as a surprise that she was one of the natives and every bit as ‘common’ as the rest. Could have shown Ena Sharples turning up as Queen Victoria and taking all the wind out of Annie’s pompous sails. 54:39

I believe that she was originally from Clitheroe (or at least, the family was) and back then (I'm not sure about now) Clitheroe was a little bit more up market.
