Jean Alexander was superb. Mrs O a legend. I think there were probably more of these hard working decent folk in the backstreets of Manchester than we will ever know. The greatest generation
It's awful how badly I felt for Hilda, being strong armed by useless Alf's shark of a builder, to sell her home. I had to keep telling myself that this is a story written 40 years ago, and isn't real .
The actor playing Sue Clayton now plays Bernie Winter in CS, mother to Gemma and Paul. She's very young here but if you listen and look at her, you'll see it's her.
It’s funny how the writers didn’t learn their lesson with the Claytons from the Hopkins, another failed attempt at planting a whole family in the street.
So it was the hostility of the cold-hearted Claytons that turned Terry Duckworth from a half decent lad into a bad boy. His downfall can clearly be seen at beginning here.
In real life, Alf Roberts extending his shop into the house next door would get tied up in years of planning red tape. He would have to go through the tortuous procedure to repurpose no.13 from a residential to a commercial property (on top of the normal planning permission process). And the residents of no.11 would surely have reason to object as they would suddenly be living next door to an expanded corner shop instead of the residential house that used to be there. Alf as a councillor would have known all this, you would have thought, but seems to think he can get it all done and dusted in a week or two?
I really hope Hilda has someone else look at the roof, and doesn't trust that shady guy that is in cahoots with Alf, Kevin shd have his dad come look...
@@angelapay3718 I didn't recognize him. I've only ever seen a couple of videos of Rab C. Nesbit and they were funny. I'm Scottish too but wasn't living there when his show was popular. Thanks for pointing that out though.
I never ever undstood what they were thinking with wilf? It wasnt even his acting, he just looked odd and never seemed to look right or fit in? They made quite a few mistakes over the years, but the state of corrie now days, Is just massive mistake i dont even watch it any more, i only watch the oldies, its a pleasure with brilliant story lines, great acting from nearly eveyone of the cast, esp hilda, stan and eddy, thank u for putting these on. Your a gem. ❤️
But why do they even need to expand? I mean in today’s Corrie( which admittedly I haven’t watched for ages) D&S Alahan’s, which is the new shop, is more like a supermarket-and no 13 is still there!
Only a small thing but one that always irritated me. Given every transaction in the Kabin, Corner Shop and the Rovers was cash, the cash registers rarely had any coins in them!!
@@RiaLake is that so? None of the Claytons were ever up in court, rowed in the pub, fiddled, played away, showed up at parties they weren't invited to, default on their debts, pinch the house-keeping to play the gee-gees, guilty of robbing Alf's shop. I can go on, if you like, love.
It would have been interesting to see a romance between Hilda and Percy.. Phyllis would have gone mad and Hilda would have been looked after for once in her life.
Vera “Oh, Jack! Terry’s going to London! He’s probably going to be on that weekly series that’s started up-you know, the one we never mention on bbc one! It’s all them’ Claytons’ fault!”
Betty seems to be the only one still making sarky comments to Wilf-and she wasn’t even there when he stole the money ( then gave it back and was forgiven). Won’t be long before Bet comes out and says “Betty-a word.” ....
The Clayton's really were a horrible family. Dads a milkman, mums a cheap dressmaker, sister works in a Bakery and the eldest gets two Bs and one C in her A levels, which makes them Aristocracy. Thankfully they were written out.
I can understand them not wanting Terry involved (especially considering all the horrible things Terry went on to do) but why cut out Jack and Vera? They did nothing wrong. And I feel sorry for poor Sue. Yeah she's annoying but the other 3 don't give a damn about what she wants or feels.
Anyone else think it's weird that all the bottle stores are in the men's toilet? And how many guys walking out get a dart to the side of the head? 😂🍻♥️
Hilda absolutely love her character never relized her actress voice was very different to hers in real life one of theee best actresses of uk by far she and her stan n eddie absolutely made corantion street its crap now 😂😂
23:50 By heck, never seen Percy move so quick. 😂😂 Don't get conned by that rabble Hilda. 1:05:48 Beans on toast or even better, cheese and beans on toast with brown sauce on crusty bread. Haute cuisine to some and no mistake. Response to video only.

This show was nothing without Jean Alexander. She made the show for me anyway. She reminds me of my English grandmother born and bred in Manchester.
Dame Jean!
Jean was the only one who truly acted.
It's awful how badly I felt for Hilda, being strong armed by useless Alf's shark of a builder, to sell her home.
I had to keep telling myself that this is a story written 40 years ago, and isn't real .
Can't understand a word that Scottish prick is saying. He needs to have elocution lessons.
Thank you so much for these .. watch them every night
Bet and Hilda: truly the salt of the earth. Period.
Bet was scum. Hilda was a treasure

I love Hilda!❤️
She was the best thing that ever happened to Corrie. Never been the same since.
Thank you for putting these on have watched all of them from 1980
Yes! I fall asleep with one on every night. I think I'm addicted!
@@helentucker6407me too!! Xx
Hilda and Bet, I just love them.
Detested Bet myself but love Hilda
It’s funny how the writers didn’t learn their lesson with the Claytons from the Hopkins, another failed attempt at planting a whole family in the street.
Thank you my friend. This is brilliant.
Kevin is so sweet with Hilda. I'm glad she has people looking out for her.
Felt so sorry for Hilda bless her, great actress and so funny.
Agreed
So it was the hostility of the cold-hearted Claytons that turned Terry Duckworth from a half decent lad into a bad boy. His downfall can clearly be seen at beginning here.
Oh aye? It's the Clayton's?
And being dragged up by Jack and Vera Duckegg, has nothing to do with it? Give over.
I agree. He was a good lad and tried to do the right thing with his kid.he had every right to be a father to it.
Yes it was the beginning of bad boy Terry. He really loved Andrea, he didn't deserve to be treated that way.
I hated how the parents blamed terry for Andrea's situation. She incharge of her body not terry.
No one raised by Jack and Vera was going to end up being a good person.

Prawn salad sitting on the side, did no one have a fridge 🤢
Hilda looks so vulnerable 💔
Hated that builder with his weird half Scottish half English accent.
It’s Rab.C Nesbit before he was Rab.C Nesbit hence the Scottish accent.

Poor Bet, she certainly can pick them :(
Sue came back as Bernie
Unpopular opinion but I didn't think the Clayton's were that bad.
Andrea and her mom look like twins..
That's because the actress playing Andrea was nearly 30.
This might sound weird, but…I liked Wilf. I thought he was an interesting addition to the show.
Yes, weird, he was horrible, unattractive, little creep.
Apart from the one silly, spur of the moment, theft of Mike's money, I thought Wilf was a good character.
We love you Hilda. Never forgotten.
Obscure fact: Actor playing Brian played a reporter in robocop 2!
loved this Thank you so much! September next woo hoo
Marvellous!
Thank you. X
Got to give Jack some credit, he warned Terry many times about that Clayton girl and to be careful.
Jack would have been against any girl, thought his son should be shagging everything.
That youngest Clayton girl is just awful... and she has real competition in that family.
Deidre really gets on my nerves; acting all high and mighty! And, I’m surprised at Alf for diddling poor Hilda!
Hilda with the roof doesn't make sense. She was all cunning one second then the next she falls for that old tale😕
It's fiction....
@@distantrambler Didn't fit in with her character though.
@@theculturedthug6609 yep as i said fiction
Andrea went on to become Mrs Fred Thursday.
But why do they even need to expand? I mean in today’s Corrie( which admittedly I haven’t watched for ages) D&S Alahan’s, which is the new shop, is more like a supermarket-and no 13 is still there!
I think they expanded the shop by incorporating the downstairs living area.
Percy is too keen to criticise!
Still quite a likeable character though. Give me him rather than a cantankerous old sod like Albert Tatlock any day!
@@staceygrove5976They are as bad as each other.
Only a small thing but one that always irritated me. Given every transaction in the Kabin, Corner Shop and the Rovers was cash, the cash registers rarely had any coins in them!!
Sue “But I don’t want to leave! I like it ‘ere! In 35 years-I’ll be back ( with a new identity)!”
16:40 Jill Summers was worth her weight in gold ❤
Imagine if Frank had told Wilf “I could tell you some tales that’d make your hair curl.”
Brian and Kevin should try washing their hands before they go into the Rovers.
I wonder if this is what turns Terry. He’s really wanting to take his responsibilities seriously but not being able to.
Jack's bold patch coming along nice Alf's hair looking good, Percy's Bonce fantastic look crew cut 😜
Can you imagine, letting a family of gutter-snipes, like the Duckeggs, run you off?
The Claytons certainly weren't much better!
@@RiaLake is that so?
None of the Claytons were ever up in court, rowed in the pub, fiddled, played away, showed up at parties they weren't invited to, default on their debts, pinch the house-keeping to play the gee-gees, guilty of robbing Alf's shop. I can go on, if you like, love.
It would have been interesting to see a romance between Hilda and Percy.. Phyllis would have gone mad and Hilda would have been looked after for once in her life.
I wouldn't wish Percy on anyone, well maybe Phyllis 😃
Vera “Oh, Jack! Terry’s going to London! He’s probably going to be on that weekly series that’s started up-you know, the one we never mention on bbc one! It’s all them’ Claytons’ fault!”

Very true can,t stand betty.she seems nice but
Agreed then Betty was all sweet with him when bet went to Blackpool she bad mouthed bet to him
Well built blonde with a pub she's everyone's type
Gotta love Jack 🚬🥃🤓🍺 he's a character

@@emmaclarke2885 terry was a decent lad,vera caused bother when she refused to pay up jack was a lazy layabout ,terry had no chance.
@Saul Goodman I can’t blame them
@@helenkelly4355 I wouldn't pay for that dreadful, badly made and ill fitting dress either.
No real character to the Clayton's. They were nondescript.. really earthy characters were what was needed.with personalities and charisma
Is Mr Pringle the new Lenn?
The Clayton’s may have worked had they been less realistic. This is Coronation Street remember. Not a single terraced street in Britain like it.
What's the song at 1:07:15?
Its secret by OMD
Looks eastern Europe in 1965 even compared to 1989
I wish Alf had had a haircut now and then! 😂
I like Percy
Norman doing Van work aww alf he see double vision 😅😅😅😅 49:05
Hilda is class
It's Ned Glover From Emmerdale 🏞️

Hilda absolutely love her character never relized her actress voice was very different to hers in real life one of theee best actresses of uk by far she and her stan n eddie absolutely made corantion street its crap now 😂😂
Kids playing in the street. Skipping and bikes. No mobile phones!
I can't recall that guy that stole the 4000lbs. at all. I've watched all of these when they originally aired.
Did poor Phyllis ever cop for sex god Percy Sugden???
No.

New family didn’t last long
Boy, is that builder one creepy guy, he played that well.
Slime ball lying to our Hilda
I dont understand why Andrea asked Terry for a kidney/liver for thier child after rejecting him to be involved so many times..
A prawn salad to celebrate……nah I’m good 😂
22p for a cuppa with table service.
In b. N
Chips sandwich curly save money 😅😅😅😅
What?
@@flumpaustin1994 back in the 80s some people got crisps and bread because no money you see it on the screen
Lipless wonder
Has Bet been Robbing her granmothers clothes
What is she wearing
She's dressing like its the 1930s
Yeah leopard print was all the rage in the 30’s 🙄🤦♂️
I am not a expert on leopard print Lady's fashion history sorry 🤯
The 1980s’ - The decade fashion forgot!
