Considering the Equity strike was on at the time they were very inventive with the crowd noises, Ena apparently sinking six milk stouts with the Blue Streak Rockets, and getting the performing sealions to perform in the dressing room.
This is the first episode where Phillip Lowrie's (Dennis Tanner) voice and mannerisms came across to me as being clearly camp, as opposed to gormless. I well recall the episode so many years ago. How could one forget sea lions?
One of his visits he brought back the news of the death of Elsie and Bill. As you might know they left to run a pub in Portugal, got married soon after. In the early 2000's they were both killed in a car crash.
I was two days old when this was broadcast. You don't have ep.128 from 5 March, do you? Elsie with a full-grown son in 1962? She must have got younger over the next 20 years.
Ena, Minnie and Martha were magical - they could talk hilariously about anything. And then in 1964 some moronic producer killed Martha off and ruined all the fun.
I wonder if the actors and writers knew that this episode would elicit LOLs in 2024! I love it. Thank you for posting.
Haha was in stitches with this episode.What a complete cockup. Keep them coming,these oldies are the best.Thanks again.
Love this episode, it’s perfect and Dennis is by far the best Corrie character.
There's not many comedy shows as funny as that episode absolutely brilliant 😂
Brilliant episode - comedy classic - the ending was hilarious.
Best last line in years!

I actually thought that too, either this episode of the previous, he did a little dance move across the living room
I think Dennis's character was clearly an embodiment of Tony Warren - the dramatisation of the making of Coronation Street alludes to that.
It makes me wish I had been slightly older, so I could have appreciated how sexy he was.
Boy that Ena was something else. The three ladies are a hoot.
Annie Walker's accent is nearly at where it stayed until she left. The aitches are no longer dropped.
Terribly entertaining! superb!
Minnie Cauldwell's face at the beginning of part 2 lol! She always made me laugh, especially in the 70s episodes. One of my favourites.
Ty so much for uploading these episodes great fan from nz here 💓
I loved Dennis Tanner. They should bring him back
mrrkdino they did bring him back for a short while
They did. Sadly, in an urn.
All the best ones left: Dennis , Len, Ray Langton,
One of his visits he brought back the news of the death of Elsie and Bill. As you might know they left to run a pub in Portugal, got married soon after. In the early 2000's they were both killed in a car crash.
On one of his visits, he married Rita-which is how she’s now Rita Tanner. Wonder what Elsie’d have said? Did she and Rita ever get on?
''You can't help his big end!''
The inside of the Mission, I think, is Ivy Cottage Church in Didsbury-I’ve been there.
So how did Dennis explain all THAT to Annie and Jack?!
I was a newborn baby when this was first shown!
Anne Fallon So was I ;)
I was 7 ;)
I was still growing inside my mother's womb until the end of June 1962! 😂
i was 5 going on 6
I was 4
Jack and Annie at the end... hilarious!
"My Lips are Sealed she said at the end of the show"

That was brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😂 from 2024 !!! 🎉
I knew that was a Jack Rosenthal script!
Fantastic and hilarious episode. I actually lol-d
Benny Hill would have to have been character like a greengrass
Good Old Collingwood Forever!
What happened with the fight in the pub?
You mean between Ken and Len? I guess Ken aplogised ( which he did need to, actually) and Len and Harry forgave him. ,
@@alexanderjones9572 ok 👍
Yes Ken got his just reward pompous are (he has changed)
Minnie Caldwells mother was Still alive?
Yes she was 112 !!
She said she was 87 in a prior episode to that...which would out Minnie around 65
Minnie was born in 1900, so she was only 61. So her mother could well have been alive!
Who in their right mind would willingly put up with Ena Sharples or Elsie Tanner ????
In real life you'd avoid them like the plague
Nah Elsie’s fun
Better then than now
Ena, Minnie and Martha were magical - they could talk hilariously about anything.
And then in 1964 some moronic producer killed Martha off and ruined all the fun.
Worst decision ever
What is the episode after Ken borlow got knocked out?
That was a good fight😂😂😂@@barbarapalmer8224
Brilliant
10/10
😄
rip roaring lol
Dennis gives me the creeps and Elsie is example of worst acting ever 😮
