I am in the US..have been sick for the last year......have now watched this program from the beginning...1960.....some of these comments, I read every post for every month/episode.... seem like they have no idea! very rough on the actors! How Hilda and Vera are favorites I do not know.....Hilda has calmed down a little at this point...but was truly aweful! Rita is kind....but yes has her fun at Mavis's expense LOL And enough with the future spoilers! Thank you Professional Gun for putting these out there :) Well done!
Hilda was typical of many hard working Lancashire women in those days.. Women who had lived through the war, Plain speaking, loyal, hard working never complained about her lot, and funny, . I knew many " Hildas" growing up..salt of the earth God bless her
Can't tolerate the little cow. Rita saw all the red flags, and still kept her on, to her cost. My mum would've sorted her, good and proper. The first time she looked at my mum sideways, she would've made an immediate exit, via the front window. Bag and baggage, right behind her.
When Sharon was with Len and Rita, some of their interactions were hilarious, they were a great fit. Jenny however, was an obnoxious character who went way beyond just a troublesome teen. She had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I learned to type on one of "those old manual typewriters" back in 1970. Which is what I tell my kids when I'm having tech issues with my wifi or laptop and my son advises me to "just Google it, mum". I tell him to remember who taught him to how to brush his teeth and pee standing up!
I wouldn't call Hilda "sweet" but she's very funny and I agree she makes the show. I love Phyllis and Bet and Jack and Vera. Can't stand Percy. I grew up in Portsmouth, a UK naval city in the 60s and the place was full of "Percy Sugdens" - opinionated old men whose only topic of conversation was WW2 but who never actually fought.
it her vicissitudes towards her childhood life to teenager years; its her accent that gets on my wick. that bombastic pitched voice she has trying to being heard.
Audrey's cheese grater voice, sounds like she's grating pebbles, have beaten my binge from 1960 to date. When her coven of 3 meets it's hell in Corrie. Alf, you silly silly fool.
Whenever they put coins in the till at t'Rovers or t'Kabin they just rattle around...you'd think the stage manager would've put some coins in to create a more realistic sound. And the Kabin till ..a wooden shoe box?? 😂😂😂
Ive noticed this a lot of times, but how can jack be pulling a pint of bitter as people walk in and give it to them just as they have asked for it, and also if someone asked for a pint then he gets a glass from under the bar that's already half full and tops it up. Im guessing its to save time during filming that seen. But its made so obvious for everyone to see. You would think that it would be disguised.
Every time I see Alan Bradley all I want to see is the Blackpool tram coming along to sweep him of his feet. evil character. Hard to believe he's married in real life to Audrey..
Talking of Emily relating how she was as a young woman in her very early 20s made me laugh One of the old Black & White episodes when Emily was known as Miss Nugent & worked in Gamma Garments with Mr Swindley, they belonged in an amateur dramatics society Members of Gamma Garments & neighbours in the Street put on some period drama It was hysterical! Esp as Emily was so timid & shy she was vertually struck dumb when she walked on to the stage & fumbled Her lines & was a bundle of nerves! So after the 1st act someone in the cast ( could have been Len or some other joker) gave Emily a half pint glass full of sherry The next act saw Emily distinctly drunk, in full voice, all over the place! After act 4, Emily was falling all over, shouting out her lines & everyone elses, absolutely off her head & it was so very funny seeing the sensible, conservative Emily falling all over, slurring & giggling! Much to the chargrin of Mr Swindley! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
Audrey has so much energy I envy her do People suffer from Chronic Fatigue syndrome over there ? . I was attacked by a wasps nest . I disturbed their nest and I couldn’t get out off bed for a year and a half after lucky my daughter helped me out .🎉
I couldn't agree more Frances. The old British "double bed" was barely bigger than a single. I don't know how couples managed until Queen and King size were invented.
Hmm...Mike wonders if there's a market for denim kilts in Glasgow. The answer is simple, just ask his bride to be and her twin brother since they were both brought up there. Oh, guess he forgot, then so did everyone else in Corrie, since there were obviously no Scottish actors to play those parts. Just for everyone's information though, NO there was no market for denim kilts in Glasgow then or now. The Scots dress the same as the rest of Britain except on Scottish celebration days like The Battle of Bannockburn. 😀
They did an incredibly good job of making Alan seem like a normal decent mild mannered man in these early appearances. Jenny is in fact the obnoxious one so far. I do think Alan was an influence in how they characterized Jon Lindsay and Richard Hillman later on
Except for the fact that he hung around Rita like a bad smell. There was no where that she was that he didn't show up. He was an oxygen theif, always in her face. Yuk!
Terry was lovely when it came to Hilda.🤗
I could never forgive nasty little Kevin for making Hilda cry..Eddie always treated Hilda with respect..love Hilda
I agree, short arsed little twat.
She had it coming. She wouldn't be told.
I COULD NEVER 👎 FORGIVE NASTY 🤢 LITTLE KEVIN FOR MAKING HILDA 😭..EDDIE ALWAYS TREATED HILDA WITH RESPECT 🫡 BROTHER GLORY SENGO XXX 😘
LOVE ❤️ HILDA BROTHER GLORY SENGO XXX 😘
If l had been around the walking moustache would have got a clump for being rude to our hilda.its time someone taught him some manners.
Jenny Bradley,, god help us all
Thank you very much for compiling all these episodes in order and in such good quality. I love each and every episode!
Poor Hilda she was a diamond
Vera spot on when she said "she wants a good crack her!" after Jenny's tantrum at Alf and Audreys housewarming 😂
I don't really think Vera is in a position to judge.
@@Nats99 I'd say she's in the perfect position. She's handy with her fists when needed. Or do you think there's no excuse....🤢😂
Hated Alan Bradley and his brat.
100% agree… couldn’t stand them or Sally, still don’t like Sally
Thank you for these blast's from the past.

Rita bullied mavis
@@tinaquinn9042 Yes she did....I wouldn't want her as a friend.
Terry saying he puts on a different voice for blind dates-wonder if he’s ever done ‘Vince St. Clare.’
Jenny really gets on my wick.
I don't like Jenny either!
Mine too, so rude
Can't tolerate the little cow. Rita saw all the red flags, and still kept her on, to her cost.
My mum would've sorted her, good and proper. The first time she looked at my mum sideways, she would've made an immediate exit, via the front window. Bag and baggage, right behind her.
I know it's fiction, but I still don't understand how any adult would let her get away with her behaviour. She's literally unwatchable.
Same but not the character just the actresses
When Sharon was with Len and Rita, some of their interactions were hilarious, they were a great fit. Jenny however, was an obnoxious character who went way beyond just a troublesome teen. She had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
and still doesn't
Can't stand that Alan Bradley have to fast forward him
Same here with Jenny and Susan.
Tram Time In 1989🚊🚉 For Bradley
Non Scottish Peter joins his non Scottish twin...I'm just relieved that the alarming 15 year old Peter didn't reappear
The continuity department completely lost the plot with the Barlows.
Things were starting to go downhill now.we lost too many key characters too quickly .
Why on earth would Rita keep fostering a nasty girl like Jenny?
Mavis, get rid of those french nickers... Not now!! Hahaha
How come the dartboard is right next to the mens bogs / cellar door? Someone is going to get a dart in their face.
😂
😅
The old rovers return reminds me of a pub in Cardiff called the queens vaults in its layout!
I used to go to the queens vaults all the time. Sunday lunch and a game of pool.
I remember those old manual typewriters!

Hilda is so sweet, she makes the show and Percy is funny both my favourites! I can’t stand Jenny and Susan they are awful characters
The word sweet is not an adjective I'd use to describe Hilda!
I wouldn't call Hilda "sweet" but she's very funny and I agree she makes the show. I love Phyllis and Bet and Jack and Vera. Can't stand Percy. I grew up in Portsmouth, a UK naval city in the 60s and the place was full of "Percy Sugdens" - opinionated old men whose only topic of conversation was WW2 but who never actually fought.
@@SuzyQ334 Yes, indeed. It's been my experience that those who were most involved in WW2 are the ones who talk the least about it.
That's a good point. My Grandad fought in WW2 and never spoke about it, I only ever heard a little of what he did from my Grandma.
Susan is like cardboard cut out with as much go as a zimmer frame
Jenny’s a real pain. Her moods keep constantly changing. Mood ring 💍 couldn’t keep up ⬆️ with her moods.😅😂😂😅❤❤❤
it her vicissitudes towards her childhood life to teenager years; its her accent that gets on my wick. that bombastic pitched voice she has trying to being heard.
Never liked her or her father. Both no good but Rita couldn't get enough of them but that just about sums Rita up.there well matched.
Sally Dynevor who plays Sally is very pretty and her daughter who is actress Phoebe Dynevor from Bridgerton looks just like her Mom
Dear Mike getting mixed up with Susan
Thank You
"How else could I get to yer?"
READ THE ROOM, JACK!
Oh my god, the way jenny's behaviour is totally wrong, no wonder no 1 wants to no, so lucky to hav rita & her dad have patients
I knew it was Jack Duckworth.
Expected Ken to get a dig in-thought he’d say ‘Ah, Susan. See Mike across the road, did you? Well, a man his age can’t cross the road by himself.”
Audrey's cheese grater voice, sounds like she's grating pebbles, have beaten my binge from 1960 to date.
When her coven of 3 meets it's hell in Corrie.
Alf, you silly silly fool.
Cheers!
1:46:30 I think that part of Gloria having roses 🌹 being sent 2 her was really hilarious.😊😅🎉😂😂❤❤❤
I’d like to put Jenny/susan/tracie in sound proofed room as far away as possible 🤷🏼♂️😳🤔
What a letch Jack was.
that's how guys were portrayed back then, filthy swines 😂
He was a UK version of Al Bundy 😂😱🤒🤕
Reading the comments. I must be Ken Barlow's only fan. Lol
Me too. There's two of us then 😂😂
Percy wouldn't be able to buy anything now
Jack was UK Al Bundy in
1986 What Cad👍🍺🥃💌🌹🌹🌹
Alan Bradley was Audrey’s fella in real life.
Why not Gloria arrange to meet up at the place you are going to when you don't know someone very well rather than have them pick you up at home?
Whenever they put coins in the till at t'Rovers or t'Kabin they just rattle around...you'd think the stage manager would've put some coins in to create a more realistic sound.
And the Kabin till ..a wooden shoe box?? 😂😂😂
But Mike wasn’t Curly and Terry’s only source of work, was he? Just because he doesn’t need them- they still have work.
ken is overpowering
Baby our ginger tabby likes her kippers!
Did anyone see the price tag on the back of Curlys new suit ? lol
He forgot the price tag ouch curly clothes peg any one remember 43:18 SU garden
Kevin always seems quick to anger.
Ive noticed this a lot of times, but how can jack be pulling a pint of bitter as people walk in and give it to them just as they have asked for it, and also if someone asked for a pint then he gets a glass from under the bar that's already half full and tops it up. Im guessing its to save time during filming that seen. But its made so obvious for everyone to see. You would think that it would be disguised.
I notice that anytime they do dishes they wash them but dont rinse them just put them in the drain them
Jenny bratley
Betty's way of finding out if Percy was in Snug? 😂
Every time I see Alan Bradley all I want to see is the Blackpool tram coming along to sweep him of his feet. evil character. Hard to believe he's married in real life to Audrey..
Was married., he passed away.
1:44:59.... It's Lenny the lion...
35:00... You've never done a days graft in your smug life Barlow...
Talking of Emily relating how she was as a young woman in her very early 20s made me laugh
One of the old Black & White episodes when Emily was known as Miss Nugent & worked in
Gamma Garments with Mr Swindley, they belonged in an amateur dramatics society

Punky! Sugar daddies! 🤣
Audrey has so much energy I envy her do
People suffer from Chronic Fatigue syndrome over there ? . I was attacked by a wasps nest . I disturbed their nest and I couldn’t get out off bed for a year and a half after lucky my daughter helped me out .🎉
She wasn't old then🙄
yeah CFS is a thing here
It seems to be unanimous that we all hate Jenny.
Gosh the beds are so tiny over there 😅 must have changed by now to queen size and King size ? 😂
I couldn't agree more Frances. The old British "double bed" was barely bigger than a single. I don't know how couples managed until Queen and King size were invented.
Depends on the size of the bedroom. Some houses in the UK are very tiny compared to North American homes.
Also people where a lot smaller and slimmer back then
I sometimes wonder whether they use smaller beds for filming purposes? 🤔
King size beds have been around years
Expensive and Extremely Unhelpful! 😂😂
Isn’t Gloria’s mistaken identity bloke the same actor who played the accountant Denise was having an affair with in ‘96?
Who’s Denise ?
@@francesgillotti1378 Denise Osbourne, hairdresser in the mid 90s, Daniel’s mum.
Hey the roles have reversed between Mike & Ken ! Mike is over-bearing & manipulative. He's a stricter "Father" than Ken.
Ken isnat a father from any angle he never ever raised his childern or tracy he was nothing but a father in name only , Mike was at leadt envoled
I could be wrong but is David Gloria’s new boyfriend later on in years Denise Osborne brother in law? I think it definitely looks like Him
Norman price tag 44:13

I've never warmed up to Jenny. She's thoroughly unlikable!
Jenny ...what an awful character.
mike should have thought about being ken's son-in-law before he proposed to susan. absolute joke.
They did an incredibly good job of making Alan seem like a normal decent mild mannered man in these early appearances. Jenny is in fact the obnoxious one so far. I do think Alan was an influence in how they characterized Jon Lindsay and Richard Hillman later on
Except for the fact that he hung around Rita like a bad smell. There was no where that she was that he didn't show up. He was an oxygen theif, always in her face. Yuk!
yes but so was that awful daughter of his@@myfathersdaughter324
Ken said to Emily “After a hard morning’s work…” What? He sits on his ass selling advertising space for a free newspaper.
Susan moving back in with Ken was an asinine idea. Too much has changed. Mike should have called it off.
