I remember when this episode was promoted on the TV back in the day. We were all excited for this episode and it didn't disappoint! Cant believe its been 24 years since this was on the TV. Classic ep and one of the best of the old Corrie!
Curly: It’s on a time delay. It won’t open until tomorrow. Lennox: Well, thank you VERY much. What am I supposed to do now? Ashley: Can’t ya come back first thing in t’morning?
@@walnutbrain7569 Actually he did not say say flaming. You need your ears cleaned and tell your mother she should teach you some manners. If you can't speak politely then do not speak to me at all.
I remember this was shown at 9:00 pm, the producers were obvy trying to be edgy by having violence and bad language on coronation Street..but it just came across as contrived and desperate. It just wasn't coronation Street.
First time I've seen this storyline, don't like it when the armed police detain Mike and Ken, just shows the police can have bad judgement. Though their were safe at the end.
so armed police can tell just by looking at someone in an ill lit smokey room that that person is not involved in the robbery? I didn't know police had special powers like that.
@@Liam-qn2kn when Dean said shit it could've been demonetized especially when it's on an soap does it mean they can do that or is it quite Rare they can use words like that At a certain time like 10:00 or 11:00 at night
When Mike's Wife was trying to say to the Armed police officer he just turned Around and look at her then just said nothing not a word all he was doing is just standing there and looking at them
Very awkward situation for Mike Baldwin knowing that 1 of the armed criminals that took him hostage with the others turned out to be his brother in law
I remember this getting such a slagging in the press. Corrie was trying to reinvent itself and compete with edgier EastEnders and Brookside. This didnt suit Corrie. It was implausible not to menion very dull!
BBQ Houseold goods ice cream 🍦 Isles Now it’s abit much having that in a store but that’s either to add to the story or just as part of a joke because There’s no way I’ve seen them in a store before
Hands up all those who think the ‘writers’ nicked this idea from only fools … 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
I don’t know it’s just I looked through the shutters and that’s all I saw. Come on it’s not that difficult you either saw him or you didn’t. Linda are you thick or what she just told you that’s all she saw so obviously she didn’t see Mike but as for dean why feel sorry for him in the end after everything he did he really deserved what he got
Come on armed police officer mike was one of the hostages for crying out loud you should know you're a armed police officer not a idiot use your common sense

the way Maxine loved Ashley was just too precious. everytime she hugs him in all episodes she has a big smile on her face
Poor Maxine 😢
No matter what he's in, I'll always know Ciaran Griffiths for his role as Mickey Maguire in Shameless. He was so funny on that show.
Or "I'm CID" from the bill hahahahhaa
Curly: It’s on a time delay. It won’t open until tomorrow.
Lennox: Well, thank you VERY much. What am I supposed to do now?

That dam, elusive, sh.a.dow
Damon Hay was no different when he was younger, then.
😂 definitely not ! Lol
Damon Hay was no different when he was younger, then Glory Sengo.
not Damon mate
@@nottyrese It’s the same actor.
DAMON HAY WAS NO DIFFERENT WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER, THEN GLORY SENGO.
I don’t remember this at all…but it reminds me of that Only Fools and Horses episode where the guy comes late to rob the supermarket safe
Exactly what I was thinking
The shadow 😅
That dam, elusive sh-a-dow
"Bloody Watch!"
Fred Elliott saving the day with his steaks setting off the fire alarm 🤣
Steaks, I say Steaks
R.I.P john savident
@@andrewbellringer404 RIP I've just seen it myself 😢
Clever Fred, I say, clever Fred.
43:14 - Deans friend saying yeah it is. Looooool
God this really was a high point in corrie history. My mum and sister still do watch it. I used to watch it by association also.
God i love fred he's a funny old chap
Funny, I say funny
Nice old-fashioned classic coronation street TV shows
I never knew this until now that the guy that played Dean the Robber is the same actor to now appear on Corrie as Damon Hay 😂
Well, this is one way to meet your brother-in-law! 🤣🤣🤣
So he was basically playing Damon years before he became Damon
First time I’ve heard the word “GobS*ite used in Corrie
@@jenniferdean144 Actually, He said “flaming”. You might want to get your facts around.
@@walnutbrain7569 Actually he did not say say flaming. You need your ears cleaned and tell your mother she should teach you some manners. If you can't speak politely then do not speak to me at all.
@@jenniferdean144 😂. I am using my manners and I’m also right!
@@walnutbrain7569 check again.
@@walnutbrain7569 and what does 'get your facts around ' mean?
Dean was in shameless as one of the McGuire’s x
Wouldnt it be funny if this actually was damon and now he suddenly starts talking about how this robbery went wrong 😂
22 years ago. Crazy. Wendy's acting though 🤣
The paramedic was so rude at the end. Regardless of wanting to get away in a hurry, they are not supposed to talk to relatives of patients like that.
You do realise it’s not real?
@@misplacedkiwi9498 Course I do! What a moronic reply.
Still
They should be rude and put nose up to people being NHS workers
‘Kee-Yah-Battah’ roll……😄….WHAT….I had to pause and think about what he was saying…..‘ciabatta’
4:38 is this the only time where S*** was mentioned in coronation street
I remember this was shown at 9:00 pm, the producers were obvy trying to be edgy by having violence and bad language on coronation Street..but it just came across as contrived and desperate. It just wasn't coronation Street.
It was a ratings ploy to get one over on EastEnders in terms of sensational storylines.
Agreed. Almost Brooksideesque.
One error on the credits:
Deirdre Barlow was Deirdre Rashid at the time
Until 2005 when she remarried Ken Barlow
Wow Emma watts that's a good shot well executed
The guy playing Dean was also in EastEnders, he was a part of Aidan Maguire's heist, might as well have been the same character, lol.
U mean he was in shamless not EastEnders u donut
@joe Edwards He was in EastEnders as well you fucking tool!
he was in the bill
Ciaran Griffiths who's playing Dean Sykes on here played PC Gary Best in The Bill
He was in both you donut@@joeedwards3471
Fred, i say Fred wants some Icecream I say ice cream
First time I've seen this storyline, don't like it when the armed police detain Mike and Ken, just shows the police can have bad judgement. Though their were safe at the end.
Agreed
so armed police can tell just by looking at someone in an ill lit smokey room that that person is not involved in the robbery? I didn't know police had special powers like that.
You haven’t lived, I say you haven’t lived until you’ve had one of Fred’s steahhhks
“Ooh Ashleh, 20 years ago ah put me willy in the bacon slicer! Yer me son!”
Gob shites Shit and Git Good old corrie also is the only time we’re corrie went for it in terms of language
4:39 I’m surprised they could get away with saying ‘shit’.
brwhizz 30 and ‘shite’ at 13:34. They made this exception for this special episode alone, since it was transmitted at 10.00pm.
Well people were less pathetic and weren't offended by everything in those days
We didn't have Snowflakes and Cancel Culture back in those days
@@Liam-qn2kn when Dean said shit it could've been demonetized especially when it's on an soap does it mean they can do that or is it quite Rare they can use words like that At a certain time like 10:00 or 11:00 at night
That scene only appeared in the US version for some reason. Either that or we’d be searching for some Corrie lost media.
I do think Mike and Ken like each other really
In real life William Roach and Jonnie Briggs were good friends.
Mike and ken doing friends work the past good stuff its amazing from the past😮
It's mickey from shameless just less spit 🤣
The guy who played the robber is still in corrie now :O
Is it alright if I get some bread?
When Mike's Wife was trying to say to the Armed police officer he just turned Around and look at her then just said nothing not a word all he was doing is just standing there and looking at them
Ciarán Griffiths who plays Dean would later go on to play PC (and later DC) Gary Best in The Bill
Good on Audrey standing up for Maxine against that nasty Linda
33:54 What was the point of that? Which one looks more suspicious? Lots of people tied up, or lots of people sat down, eating food?
Hey Emma Norman does have a point it happened really quick he didn't know.
The guy was firing the gun though. She did exactly what she's supposed to do in that situation.
Their run away car, is his pink limousine!
Look at the prices!
Good old corrie episode. Those were the days
Why didn't Baldwin learn from the first time he assumed a loaded gun was empty, when Jackie poked him in the nose with a rifle?
Very awkward situation for Mike Baldwin knowing that 1 of the armed criminals that took him hostage with the others turned out to be his brother in law
Ashley: you greedy pig
Me: crikey Moses you really are a big eater
Back from the dead as Demon for Corrie also?
Damon in his younger days when he was building up his criminal empire, had to fake his death to avoid prosecution
Why does she feel so bad, they had weapons and she’s a copper. Fred 😆
44:27 is that AJ from Emmerdale
It is
one with the gun is the actor of damon from corrie today.
Awwww!!!! 50:32! The Floof, I say the Floof ❤❤
Isn't that Melanie's real dad Keith from Early Doors as the security officer? If so, "Tick tock"!
Hearing the word Gobshite on Corrie is weird lol 😂
You forgot Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) from the cast.
I’m warning ya! I’m a tough guy. Look, I’m holding my gun sideways and everything!
Can u put the Mike/Ken feud
Don't beat yourself up Emma it's was accident
Then Dean comes back as someone else after years another Den Watts
we know dean three years later he was gary best in the bill
Emma you didn't mean to kill Dean it was a accident
46:39
Damn those eyes! 😍
I don't know why Curly was giving Emma a hard time. She was just doing her job and he had fired at them first.
she wouldn't have been allowed to unveil herself
Who’s the dibble? 🤣🤣🤣
*whispers* ‘the police’
Top cat the cartoon
Yea.... I was commenting on the line being funny.... I know who the dibble are!
He looks a lot older than 17
Nah he actually was 17, Ciaran Griffiths who plays him
Looked about 20.
I remember this getting such a slagging in the press. Corrie was trying to reinvent itself and compete with edgier EastEnders and Brookside.
This didnt suit Corrie. It was implausible not to menion very dull!
Horrible era at the time although this is standard fare for Corrie these days
@betbinch true this would be a "big" week in todays Corrie, the show has declined so much
Edgier than Eastenders but then during the seige, they have a barbecue are bowling
Ciaran Griffiths
I count 8 People you see Norman face lucky emma go girl 😮
1:04:14 - Why on earth did Linda weep and wail over Dean although he was evil?
Because he was her teenage brother ...
Really couldn't work that one out yourself? How's life with autism?
Pretty sure you'd be inconsolable too if an immediate family member died
It's Mickey from Shameless lol
Mike being tied up with Ken. You just couldn't write it.
One of the robbers plays jacobs dad now in corrie and best know for dc gary best the bill
THAT's why he looked so familiar. Thank you.
oooh its gary best from the bill 7:47🤣😂
Linda was horrible but a great character, a pity the actress is no longer acting.
What are the chances Emma gets a job as armed officer and the supermarket gets raided by gunmen …..
BBQ Houseold goods ice cream 🍦 Isles Now it’s abit much having that in a store but that’s either to add to the story or just as part of a joke because There’s no way I’ve seen them in a store before
A rip-off of a 1985 episode of The Bill called "Hostage" in which Sgt. Cryer talked a gunman into handing his weapon over before he got killed.
DAMONNNN
This is so funny 😂
How is the robbery funny serious and sad at the same time it’s almost like a comedy then drama then Sad
40:10
FIRST TIME I’VE SEEN THIS STORYLINE, DON’T LIKE 👍 IT 👩💻 WHEN THE ARMED POLICE 👮♀️
46:00
It's Damon

Embarrassing, between them all they couldn't have overpowered these two goons?
say that again when someone is holding a gun on you, am sure you wouldn't be so rational then.
grumpy paramedic
4:39 SHIT!
Your wrong Mike
1. It's not a toy gun
2. The gun was loaded
3. The gun opened fired
4. Everyone proceeds to get their ear drums ruptured or they would've in real life.
I don’t know it’s just I looked through the shutters and that’s all I saw.
Come on it’s not that difficult you either saw him or you didn’t. Linda are you thick or what she just told you that’s all she saw so obviously she didn’t see Mike but as for dean why feel sorry for him in the end after everything he did he really deserved what he got
Come on armed police officer mike was one of the hostages for crying out loud you should know you're a armed police officer not a idiot use your common sense
they run into a smokey room where there are gun men, they cannot take the risk of who may or may not be carrying a gun. That is common sense!
Ripped off only fools and horses …
No way would the police let the paramedics into the shop until the shop's been cleared oh hang on it's coronation street.
exactly what i was thinking
@@lucylucy-ei2ph thats the only reason i watch corrie just to watch the mistakes🤣
Yeah, in the world of coronation street, kidney transplants have easy recovery times and no anti rejection drugs
@@misplacedkiwi9498tracy was taking anti rejection drugs
