Agree Helen. I grew up without a father. It wasn't fun but it could have been worse; I could have had an "Alan Bradley". Thing is, I've met men like him who have serious anger management issues dressed up as parental concern. IMHO it's more about control than love.
Why on earth have they had to make Jenny so blood curdlingly AWFUL. She screeches that she isn't a kid, proving that's exactly what she is, and is second only to Gail in whininess.
Couldn't stand Jenny then can't stand her now ivy is a misery Gail still is don't watch Corrie anymore I like these old ones with bet Hilda stan and Jack those were the days
50.21 - really poignant words from Mavis. How many women of her class and generation had similar experiences of being over-protected by family, until they became too afraid to ever go out into the world?
Corrie's most unbelievable storyline ever being some french nobleman falls for some scrag from Weatherfield - Patrice must be barmy but at least Jenny singing wasn't part of the narrative.
Jenny’s very pushy. She never takes no 4 an answer 😮😮😮 I know somebody like that. That’s the reason I keep my distance. They drive me up ⬆️ the wall.😊😊😂😂😂 24:14
She does when he does Wendy Crozier. At some point she finds a toyboy in Morocco, Same-'ere, (Samìr). But she ends up back with Ken until Anne Kirkbride died. There are others each along the way.
As someone who used to watch EastEnders, when Alec talks about how untrustworthy this Frank Cotton is, I keep imagining if, instead of Frank, he was called Nick Cotton! !
Not suprised Martin couldn't get to grip with the French lingo .He's not that brilliant with English unless it's tutting, sighing or saying eh.Although his early appearance wasn't too bad ,as he went on it got worse and more irritating.
Alec “It was the British army.” Bet “Y’ve been called up.” Alec “Don’t be so stupid.” Actually, I could just see Alec as Captain Mainwaring ( who also had a wife- who you never saw-called Elizabeth.)
Could have imagined Bet saying ( maybe to Alec) “The decision about who goes was made slightly easier when Gloria bought me the sort of headscarf Vera Duckworth or Ivy Tilsley’d wear-and said she could ‘see’ me in it, cock.”
What is with all the hatred of marriage and family? The writers seem to be pushing a hatred for anything male, marriage or child related. It’s pretty heavy handed but it worked. People avoid getting married as long as possible, having kids is looked at like something that will ruin your life if you are under 30(some people think it no matter what age), both parents must work now so we have generations being raised by strangers who do NOT love them (they are not being “raised” they are simply being kept alive each day). All this and we wonder why everything is falling apart. Thanks Womens lib and feminism for making sure anything traditionally feminine has been stamped out, now women are only acceptable if they are doing traditionally male things. Nobody HATES a stay at home mother more than a feminist.
This was very much the direction of travel in the 80s. Leading to the girl power 90s, ladette 00s and the destruction of the family unit we have today. Women's lib was absolutely correct but this cannot have been the end goal 😢
Well said. Feminism benefited only a tiny number of smug, upper middle class women with ‘careers’. It did a great disservice to the vast majority of women, children and men.
Patrice is polite, respectful and mature. Jenny is rude and sulky with the maturity of a 5 year old. IMO, it's totally unrealistic that he would have been attracted to her.
Ken’s complaining about babysitter’s coming and going??! Dreary always passed off that kid to anybody so she could go out with her men! And she’s always losing her, like someone else said, like a set of car keys!
My two all-time, least favourite characters - Alec Gilroy and Jenny Bradley. Do they have 1 saving grace between them? (I'm sure some would say they do!)
The nicest thing you could say about Jenny Bradley is that she was unbearable. At least Alec did have some comic moments, also some ( not too many) softer-hearted moments later on.
Get lost Ken! You couldn't even look after your own children... Percy Sugden, is an interfering pain in the arse...He should be told to mind his own business... I can't stand people like him... Alan and Jenny Bradley...I can't stand the pair of them!

Susan: “That’s not like my dad to be inconsiderate”
That’s some comedy gold right there
Why is Ken so jealous of his own wife? Insufferable man.
After forcing Diedre into running for council, he's the most unsupportive husband out!
Ken is a real plank!
Hilda's reactions are magic. Especially when Percy said he bets he knew Patrice's mother 😂 what a loss she's going to be to the programme.
Gosh, Ken's so holier than thou and a right bore... such hard work.
Misread your comment at first and thought you meant Kevin! 😂😂I can see it with Ken tho.
Ken is awful! I think Deidre would have had a much happier life with Mike. Mike loved her and wanted children and isn’t a small minded pompous twit.
Hes still the same self righteous arrogant git why Deirdre stayed with him she was worth so much more
He is a sanctimonious pain.
Oh Ken puts family first considering he sent his kids away after his wife died so yeah he's one to talk
Have to say I have not liked Alan Bradley or that pain in the arse of his daughter since the get go.
And that french guy must have been half blind at least.
@@kuchikopi4631 , hahahahahah
@@CatServant13 , She definitely did.

Don't know what Rita saw in him.
It wasn't always an ambition of post office worker Alf's to have a shop ... it came to him by chance when he married Reenie.
I love these episodes I remember watching these in the 1980s thank you 🙏 for the old ones!
Thanks for all your hard work uploading Corrie!! Much appreciated 👍🙂⭐🙌🍾👌💝
Weatherfields idea of Mikes sophisticated, modern home is very funny.
The best corrie years compared to now
Percy has to be the nosiest old git ever.
I do love him though, a great character and acted so well, Percy is real.
I have a neighbor like that exactly, only a spinster female instead!
he was what inspired Harry Enfield's character ' You Don't Want To Do It Like That '
@@HelloImNik , cool I did not know that.
I find him insufferable. I didn't realise he was on the street for so many years. 😅
Why on earth have they had to make Jenny so blood curdlingly AWFUL. She screeches that she isn't a kid, proving that's exactly what she is, and is second only to Gail in whininess.
She's absolutely appalling.
She looks like a 15 year old pudgy Irish boy with a wig.
@@professionalgun6674 🤣
Couldn't stand Jenny then can't stand her now ivy is a misery Gail still is don't watch Corrie anymore I like these old ones with bet Hilda stan and Jack those were the days
Lol 😆
Jesus! Alf got "his own shop," because Renee got killed in a road accident.
That's the same reason Rita got her own shop. Len died the same way.
Only when you've seen the rest of them in Weatherfield, would you consider Jenny beautiful and talented ...
The amount of people that get killed in road accidents in this show!
I was Thinking same thing as an another poster, so many killed in road accidents 🤔
Rita had the shop before Len died.
@@user-zw9er6ls4p It was Lens' shop. She ran it.
Ken get your own flamin breakfast!!!
50.21 - really poignant words from Mavis. How many women of her class and generation had similar experiences of being over-protected by family, until they became too afraid to ever go out into the world?
love when jenny says i be writing everyday to her boyfriend in france who would think we be texting emailing and facebook in years to come
The contrast between the two ‘patients’-Alec, who won’t even willingly stay in bed with influenza, and Jack, who’ll stay on bed for any reason!
Brilliant script. Compare it with today's garbage. Hilda is my absolute favourite. I love her she's so real!!
What in the world did Rita see in Alan and that stupid daughter of his?! What a waste.
I couldn’t of said it better 😂
@bongfonder ‘ couldn’t have’
Ken grew up with paper clips - explains a lot.
They were probably his only friends.
Martin's dad was reinvented as Curly's girlfirends father. You know the posh one who worked in Freshco
Kimberly.
Currently rewatching all these episodes and recognised him straight away!
I thought that.
ugh kimberly!
Kimberley a grown up who still sed mummy & daddy, idiot
Deirdre really has perfected that late 70s English teacher look. Too bad that it's the late 80s!
Ty luv these uploads Ty so much from a NZ fan
Susan is the most flat boring character. 😳
Yes, isn't she awful! Flat is the perfect word 👌
god i love deirdre's new look since she got elected. thanks for uploading
Proper Corrie this
I can’t believe Emily is only 56 years old! She looks around 70!
The gasman is Joe Carroll from the Royle Family. Percy needs to do one
Isn’t he played by Peter Martin ( Len Reynolds from Emmerdale)?
Thank you I just couldn’t place him 😘
He's been in the Street a few times by now. This might be his last appearance, not sure.
Been trying to work that out. Thank you.
Aye. A little baby.
The scene with Patrice in the Rovers 😂😂
Bet’s face looking through the stair rails at Alex!! 😂
thank you !! ( can you tell Im going in order LOL ) love from Boston USA
So much for Bet being the "mistress of all she surveys". Alec calls the shots at the Rovers.
Dierdre didnt mind ken usung the paper to slag alfie off but now she on the council its a different story.
Hello 🎉from Canada 🇨🇦 @ the United States 🇺🇸. ❤❤❤❤Happy New Years Day! 36:44
Corrie's most unbelievable storyline ever being some french nobleman falls for some scrag from Weatherfield - Patrice must be barmy but at least Jenny singing wasn't part of the narrative.
Scrag from Weatherfield. 🤣
Well, if you think that's unbelievable, just wait until you see what Deirdre brings back from North Africa in a few years: "Ooh, Sam-EAR......😢' lol
Scrag end of neck.
Makes a nice hot pot.
The French should send Jenny to Devil's Island, if they're still able to do that ...
What's wrong with Jenny's singing?
I think it's quite scraggy.
Audrey is surprisingly politically astute, for someone who was dossing on Brian and Gail's setee, before she wed Alf.
I quite like Jack's patchwork wallpaper idea.
did they pick up patrice from the ello, ello set?
Can't believe Jenny is only 16 she looks about 25
Jenny’s very pushy. She never takes no 4 an answer 😮😮😮 I know somebody like that. That’s the reason I keep my distance. They drive me up ⬆️ the wall.😊😊😂😂😂 24:14
I watched these as a child and I knew Alan ended up a villain but don’t remember him being this horrid from day one!
That Jenny is a pain.
Thank you
What is it with Martin and the deep breaths
Tracy a nice little girl?! Well maybe Ivy has got a point about her as a child. She'd be turning in her grave at her as an adult!
I find her pretty precocious as a child. Cheeky and annoying.
I hope Deirdre leaves Ken he is a bully
She runs off with Curly and is never heard from again
@@elterrifico9522 Rubbish.
She does when he does Wendy Crozier. At some point she finds a toyboy in Morocco, Same-'ere, (Samìr). But she ends up back with Ken until Anne Kirkbride died. There are others each along the way.
As someone who used to watch
EastEnders, when Alec talks about how untrustworthy this Frank Cotton is, I keep imagining if, instead of Frank, he was called Nick Cotton!
!
Good one! I used to watch that too...dirty Den, insufferable Michelle.....lol
It's October 1987, and Deirdre, now a councillor, looks a right state.
I wish Percy would stop talking about the war.
Like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses.
Not suprised Martin couldn't get to grip with the French lingo .He's not that brilliant with English unless it's tutting, sighing or saying eh.Although his early appearance wasn't too bad ,as he went on it got worse and more irritating.
Alec “It was the British army.”
Bet “Y’ve been called up.”
Alec “Don’t be so stupid.”
Actually, I could just see Alec as Captain Mainwaring ( who also had a wife- who you never saw-called Elizabeth.)
Ive worked in a bar for years never ever used furniture polish need industrial stuff to get beer marks out
Emily looks like that puppet from saw films? 😅
👏😁🍻
Good old Betty Turnip
Wouldn’t the phone by Alec and Bet’s bed need to have been plugged in? Bet didn’t unplug it.
Deirdre’s eyes have a whole sciprt of their own. 👀👀👀👀
Rita when Mavis says she’s been told she’s got a very retentive mind. “Bet I know who told you, and all.” Derek, by any chance?
"Gloria thinks a casserole is something the pope wears "😅
That lady doctor came back as con man Jon Lindsay 's deluded wife in 1997-98.
"Lady doctor"? What century are you living in?
Is she also playing the wife of Steven, Audrey's son in 2022
Sorry I have the wrong lady, but. Stevens wife I have seen somewhere else on Coro
Well Norman hair is much better rather than messy its surprising bet happy alec in the girly room su garden
I feel so sorry for Jack. Vera does nothing but pick pick pick it's a wonder they still together.
Why has the staircase in the Rovers swapped sides?
😂😂😂 remember the had to redo after fire
I think the only personality I cannot yet appreciate it Jenny
So Jack went to the cleaners, cleaned the carpet, then went to work. 😂🤣
Could have imagined Bet saying ( maybe to Alec) “The decision about who goes was made slightly easier when Gloria bought me the sort of headscarf Vera Duckworth or Ivy Tilsley’d wear-and said she could ‘see’ me in it, cock.”
Jenny's shrill voice is hard to take!

Rita/allen / jenny is ridiculous
What 📻 the cluck 😂
Martin's looks like he's been for a wash n set..very blow dried. PLUS Ken is a real sanctimonious pillock.
Ken's been here since the 1960's Deidre. Give him a break 😅
Patrice is polite, respectful and mature. Jenny is rude and sulky with the maturity of a 5 year old. IMO, it's totally unrealistic that he would have been attracted to her.
Do doctors really show up at patients’ homes in England?
They used to. Now it's almost impossible to see one at all.
If Mavis Rita and curly doing friends style 1:04:22
How come jenny is 16, and allowed in a pub(?)...🤔
She was allowed in, but couldn't consume alcohol.
Ken’s complaining about babysitter’s coming and going??! Dreary always passed off that kid to anybody so she could go out with her men! And she’s always losing her, like someone else said, like a set of car keys!
How did Jenny get a passport without father's permission, then get into France, as an unaccompanied child anyway?
I bet Susan dosent want the baby. Her and Mike fall out. She will leave him but still have the baby?
...and that son will grow up to be a solicitor and marry Sarah.
How's Jenny allowed in the pub at her age?
Just love bet and alec. 😂
Funny Percy got glasses on and off Martin is is deep water oooh su garden
On watching this compilation, I have realized Ken Barlow is very like my ex-husband; the same arrogance and ego. Pwfft.
Never liked bossy boots Deidre, now totally dislike her
Deidre is the only woman on this series that I find in any way “desirable “
Dreary has nothing on Bette! Dreary looks like a shaggy hound with that hair! 😂🤣
Why is old Pearcy answering the questions directed at Jack??! Why doesn’t he throw him out??!
I’d like to bet the actress who plays Jenny is a right little madam ….hence being cast ….🤷🏼♂️
I've just realised I can't stand the pompous Ken he wanted her on the council

Liz Dawn was very lucky to get Corrie cos she’s an awful actor ….maybe better at stand up ‘comedy’…..😳🤔
I disagree - Liz Dawn was an amazing actress and played the part of Vera very very well
