1979 was the year Coronation Street peaked. Imagine a cast of characters who crossed the generations coming together at the same time. Annie Walker, Deirdre, Bet Lynch, Ken Barlow, Emily, Elsie, Fred, Len, Mavis, Rita, Billy Walker, Ena Sharples, Alf, Hilda, Albert Tatlock, Renee, Mike Baldwin, Betty Turpin, Stan Ogden, Eddie Yeates. It was a dream team.
Gail & Brian were the start of the rot imo.... and nobody could better the Stan, Hilda and Eddie trio. It concentrated on entertaining us back then, I stopped watching in the early nineties, people tune in now for the misery 😢
The double standard of the Brian and Gail story. It was very much like that then, and now sometimes . Ivy was a bitch too, acted like a jealous girlfriend . I read the actresses who played her life story, I don’t think she was much better in real life. She was puddled!
I am really pleased these programs are not lost for ever and you really forget how really entertaining these programs were. Comedy thrown in as well , unforgettable characters !!! Far better than the coronation street these days !!!! That try to keep pace with EastEnders for doom gloom and violence !!!!! It's lost it's comedy, characters and IDENTITY !!!! NO WONDER I DONT WATCH IT NOW ! and I haven't watched it since it changed and it turned into a murder mystery and suicidal drama, a competition in arrogance where sadly lost is respect and friendliness for others , I don't think I am on my own when I say all this !!
This era late 70s-80s-mid 90s was when Corrie became an art form. The great Rovers bar camera weaved its way round from group to group as actors timed it too perfection & the Bet & Alec show behind bar then Hilda & Stan too the Corner shop antics plus Mike Baldwin. It's the only soap I watched. Then the Aussie soaps arrived & Corrie lowered it's standards too meet that Billy can of rubbish & that was that. RIP Corrie.
The Aussie soaps were true crap. It’s a shame Coronation Street was never aired on prime time in Australia as the Australian soaps were in Britain. I can only imagine the Brits liked seeing the sunshine…..It’s marvellous that people take the time and effort to upload this wonderful piece of television history.
Coronation Street is such amazing social history. The storyline about Gail's ex boyfriend totally reflects the social attitudes that were very common back then.
If it had been Suzi instead of Gail who'd snagged R. Brian, it would have been brilliant...I'd have loved to have seen Ivy try to bully HER, or nag R. Brian when Suzi was around. She's no doormat, unlike The Gloomy, Goblin-faced Gail.
Yes that would’ve been a far better storyline… Suzie would’ve cut Our Brian down a peg or two… Like it when she called him Brian The Teeth…😂😂.. And yes she would’ve put poison Ivy in her place too.. and Bert would’ve preferred to look at Sexy Suze instead of Ferret face Gail…
My late MIL was a world class b***h, just like Ivy. My late FIL was a total sweetheart, just like Bert. I loved how Corrie storylines used to reflect real people and real lives, with all the humour that us British are famous for. xxx
@@SuzyQ334 Sorry to hear you were unlucky with the MiL you got. Mine wasn't great, but fortunately she didn't live near enough to bother me too often. Glad you got a nice FiL to compensate though. I'm hoping I'll be thought of as okay one by the time my kids grow up and get married. But I also hope my son's don't end up with someone like Gail. Ugh! This era of CS is so good, it's full of excellent and recognisable characters. It's sad that it's gone so far downhill after such being at a high standard.
Am i the only one who doesn't understand why the men are always falling all over Deirdre? She is not anything special. Also, she's so whiny and nothing ever makes her happy. She also seems lazy - Emily has been letting her live rent-free for several months now and she still hasn't even bothered to find a job or get her own place. Yes, Emily says she doesn't mind but Deirdre certainly takes advantage.
I agree, I think Deirdre became a much better character in the 80s, when she was younger she was a self entitled harridan who didn't look particularly special, so how everyone fancied her is beyond me!
I was just saying to myself is there a single lady shortage over there??! She was engaged to Billy before. I have no idea what happened with that. I also don’t know why her and Rennie wear those big, awful glasses! Makes both of them look awful! Diedre actually gained around 50 pounds in one year! The year they went to Spain she was in a bikini, the next year she was big and dumpy! And in reality, these men would not be interested in her! She’s still married, for one!! 😂🤣
I used to think Gail was annoying, in the 1990s. But 1979 Gail is plain maddening. Wet, whiny, hysterical, but most irritating of all, her ICKLE BABY VOICE!! 😫😫🙉
I'm really enjoying watching this great blast from the past! Thank you! ...... Incidentally, Ken's broken Italian pronunciation of beans, during his romantic dinner with Deirdre made me smile, when he pronounced the G as in FAG, but I am a Brit of Italian descent and, I can tell you the G is pronounced J as in FAJ. The correct Italian spelling is FAGIOLI. ..... Kind Regards from The UK. xxxx
Started watching Corrie during the pandemic. I watched some earlier shows streaming then found 2 of the latest seasons & continue to watch new episodes every day. I have gone back & watched seasons 1975-2020. The earliest season will be my next but they don’t have all complete Seasons. I’m retired but love watching in any order & find them all or be great stories.
I don’t know how you can start at 1975 and not go back and watch earlier episodes to know some of the history of the characters, and know what’s going on.
Ive just been watching the earlier episodes of Corrie from 1960 up to the 1970s & ive got to say Albert Tatlock looks no different from the early 60s! Same with Len, Annie Walker, Ena sharples, ken looks better & not so gangly & studenty! Id love a run down of Corrie actors from back then until 2000, alot of channels do that A " Then & Now" video of certain hit shows! Maybe this channel could do something similar. I bet there are tons of Corrie fans Would like to see what happened to the actors who played such long standing roles & When they died & their ages. Anyway thank you for all these episodes 🇬🇧👧
Ohh it IS wonderful in the Lake District! My life long friend lives just a scant half a mile from Lake Ullswater in a beautiful cottage in Watermillock Ive spent many wonderful visits There, so peaceful & tranquil Theres a tiny village just 2 miles north of my friends cottage called Greystokes & my friend & I are still waiting to see Tarzan swinging along the lanes from tree to tree! Lol There are so many amazing places to visit in the Lakes My friends nearest town is Penrith which is lovely! So great watching these episodes of Corrie! Thank you 🇬🇧👧
Coronation Street 70s and 80s was peak perfection. A pity it was ruined by the later turns it took. I see from the comments that people found Gail annoying during this timeline but I found Mavis much more annoying! A nice person, but that wittering voice drove me up the wall. I'm guessing her actual voice was totally dissimilar, just as the actress who played Hilda Ogden was actually very quietly spoken! Great actors and actresses all of them. 😊
Suzy Burchill was much better a character than Gail. She should have been paired up with Brian and become Ivy’s daughter in law. Imagine the mutual sparring then!? Would have been even better!
What a brilliant bit of acting by the chap playing the small part of Herbie , Eddies mate from Walton..Totally believable as a chancer down on his luck and life chances.
You would think Sunblest was the only brand of bread available in Manchester.Since the very first episode,there's always been a loaf prominently placed in several scenes.Yes,it was very popular but there were other bakers as well-product placement.
Aren't those blue pants ivy is wearing the same ones Suzie wore to the disco when she was dancing w R'Brian? I swear I seen Suzie in those pants before, or trousers or whatever
I am thoroughly enjoying catching up on Corrie's golden years. But Ivy Tilsley - omg - the mother from hell. And rumour has it, the actress wasn't a very nice person in real life either. She was known as Poison Ivy. Talk about life imitating art!
Lynne Perrie was diagnosed later as being bi polar, which explains a lot. There's a good documentary here on TH-cam that channel 4 made about her in 1996 called "Ivy's Ghost". It's worth a watch. A lot of her life was pretty sad.
I've never heard the rumour she wasn't a nice person in real life. She was nothing like her character however, she was very promiscuous and a big drinker.
has nobody spotted that they use the same iron the yellow with the burnt bottom in every household in the street ..eddie yates is always a laugh as is dizzy mavis ,,ken is a total bore as is dreary deirdrie
@@bibakroll8999 LOL! Dreary is the perfect name for Deirdre! Always moaning about something even though people are always waiting on her hand and foot.
Suzie was a lazy little tramp and her antics were getting tiresome by this point in the show, but it would be fun to see her come back now and give Gail someone to fight!
I seem to remember it being mentioned the actress who played her has health problems now- What ever the problem is i hope her health improves - She played the part very very well
@@mikedonlan5963 it's all from a 10-12 dvd set I think, which I bought from Amazon & not expensive also. I've not seen it yet as TH-cam have it here! I had not discovered TH-cam till later on. Is Take the High Road here too & Crossroads? After 2000AD I ain't interested. Basically when Bet & Hilda left the writing was on the loo wall..
Thanks so much for these..magic times.. Bet and Rita in the caravan .. so funny.. Bet having a snog… “stop me mams watching “.. bloke eyes Rita up and says ..”I’ll give her a kiss as well”😂😂😂
The thing is though that it was reflecting people's attitudes in the 70s. It seems absolutely ridiculous to us these days, but it shows the huge double standards there were towards women back then.
Just a quick addition to my other comment...Deirdre rejects Billy Walker because he doesn't 'excite her' (see previous episode) but then goes on to marry Mr Mogadon himself, Ken Barlow. The most boring man ever to exist. Oh well.
Shame Len turned up i recon they would have got what they wanted eventually - Bet was a sure Bet and may well have "entertained" them both - they weren"t too bad in a randy married men on the pull kinda way
I am surprised Len took that as well as he did, given his history of jealousy and flying off the handle... If their was a time I would think him to brawl, it wdve been walking into that situation. Was shocked he didn't swing
It is now 2023 and I'm watching reruns of Corrie Street. At first it was interesting and then I realised that these characters lived such miserable, interfering, judgemental lives. In the 1970s, I had no life experience with which to compare but now I do.
I don't think Elsie can do a single sprint of script without messing her lines up. It's like bingo. You just know she's gonna fluff an upcoming line, as sure as eggs is eggs.
Male customer at th-cam.com/video/60m8M9J1t4Q/w-d-xo.html looks very familiar. Thought it was Mark Wing Davey at first (real life husband of the battered wife from previous year)
Ivy as a right sour face on her! Why can’t she accept Gail and Brian are together and getting married,I don’t like it when she interferes in their life’s, Brian can learn by his own mistakes he a grown up man, I love ❤️ the older ones of Corrie 😊😊
Vera had some mouth on her… as did most of the girls in Mike’s Factory… Militants all of em!… Dunno why Mike bothered… should’ve sold the lot and put his feet up…Steve was a good lad…Glad he told Our Brain he was a Mammys boy…
Dreary Deirdre… she though she was something special… Lord knows what grey gravy Ken ever saw in her… And Billy Walker had a very Lucky escape that armour plate glasses Deirdre didn’t want him…
I just made a post before I saw yours and asked what in the world was supposed to be so great about Deirdre. She's not that attractive, all she does is whine, and she's ungrateful.

They actually look like a real life couple, and look good together, rather than no chin Gayle.
By far the most common phrase in this entire series is "cuppa tea".
Deirdre was obviously bowled over by Ken’s boring manner
😂
So was Emily.
What a brilliant bit of acting by the chap playing the small part of Herbie , Eddies mate from Walton..Totally believable as a chancer down on his luck and life chances.

Alf trying to save a few quid did himself out of much more money I was never keen on him all he did was penny pinch and shout
I always wondered why Gail Hated Ivy so much...Watching these i now know..lol
Both annoying as hell
The woman was pure evil how she ended up with such a lovely husband like burt was beyond me
I don't really care. I disliked Gail as much as Ivy lol. At least Ivy was entertaining though, unlike gloomy whining baby-voice ET's girlfriend

And so lazy and whiny! Elsie should have thrown her out by now!

Getting slight Pigsy vibes from Birchall’s new barnet.
Male customer at th-cam.com/video/60m8M9J1t4Q/w-d-xo.html looks very familiar. Thought it was Mark Wing Davey at first (real life husband of the battered wife from previous year)
Do we EVER discover what Bert means???

1:11:53 She certainly knew how to have a good row did Elsie.
Off she trots in her high heels.😅😅🤣

Ivy as a right sour face on her! Why can’t she accept Gail and Brian are together and getting married,I don’t like it when she interferes in their life’s, Brian can learn by his own mistakes he a grown up man, I love ❤️ the older ones of Corrie 😊😊

Corrie was in need of talent from other groups of people living in that area
Vera had some mouth on her… as did most of the girls in Mike’s Factory… Militants all of em!… Dunno why Mike bothered… should’ve sold the lot and put his feet up…Steve was a good lad…Glad he told Our Brain he was a Mammys boy…
Speaking of Vera - how tall was she? She looked gigantic!

Dreary Deirdre… she though she was something special… Lord knows what grey gravy Ken ever saw in her… And Billy Walker had a very Lucky escape that armour plate glasses Deirdre didn’t want him…
