Whoever thought up the denim factory for Corrie... what a genius. The line up Mike, Ivy, Vera, Elsie, Ida etc. what an array of brilliant actors and the scene of so many fantastic storylines. A joy to watch.
The factory storyline has held the show together long beyond its expiry date. The original line up was indeed brilliant casting. Mike Baldwin was an excellent man you love to hate. He was a great friend and yet could be his own worst enemy. I love that Vera and Jack evolved and feel that it was the last throw of the dice for writers of the show.
@@cicerodiello1 why the did the demolish Baldwins causals factory the day the did in 1989 that it was end of era in the street it never again had the same spark and uplifting viewing because of most of the extras that appeared in Baldwins factory were never again scene. Mike Baldwin was very charming and charismatic sexy and all man
its me again, Another big thank you. I'm putting 1983 on hold , I've started from 1977 and I'm working my way back up to 1983. Please, please don't let them all disappear.
@@DavidRenwick-t1e It really is, it shouldn't be called that any more, it's an insult to it, it should be called something else entirely as it's a completely different programme
How did it take 3 years for this to classic to appear on my feed. What fabulous writing that was SO underestimated in its day. It's fair to say CS is still on the TV today. But it's full of lurid storylines that have no relation to the outstanding observational script of its era. Listening in to what people say amongst themselves today wouldn't be permitted.
All the programs and films I have access to I always come back to classic Corry my husband thinks I'm a nut job yet he always questions me on the story line
Liz Dawn, natural comic genius. If you get a chance, look up the behind the scenes Blankety Blank featuring her and Norman Pace. She had him peeing his pants with laughter.
Yes indeed a comic genius - some years later there was a clip of Vera sitting at home alone watching and trying to understand the opera - no words spoken and none needed her facial expressions were priceless
I wish characters like Eddie Yates, Bet Gilroy, Elsie Tanner and Hilda hadn't left. I know the actors all had their reasons, but watching elderly Ken, Rita and Audrey still on the programme in 2021, it would have been so wonderful to have had those characters alongside them. Obviously several of the actors died long ago, but I wish they had all stayed in the show until they died. Peter Adamson breaking his contract and getting killed off as a result was a blow to the show. Having him and Rita married for years would have given many more great storylines. And I really feel that Granada should have held on to Julie Goodyear at all costs.
@@bsaunders5271 I staggered on for a further two decades and gave up once Mike Baldwin was gone, but Bet's leaving marked the beginning of the end for me in 1995.
2:29:06the first appearance of “ahr Brian” who starts with a faux posh accent, which swiftly disappears 2:30:12 the last appearance of Bill Tarmey as a background extra, this episode, he’s credited as “Jack Rowe”, he’s next seen at the wedding of Brian & Gail, in 1979, as the husband of Vera, Jack Duckworth
2:30:08 - Betty Turpin says, "who's that pair over there - I've never seen them in here before" when one of the men is the future Jack Duckworth, and he's been playing darts in the Rovers for months by then. The other man is the future nemesis of Derek Wilton, bullyboy Councillor Potts (he was twice the size by the 1990s).
2:29:06 - this must be first ever appearance of Brian Tilsley, Mr. Hair-and-Teeth himself. But why is he speaking like Little Lord Fauntleroy? Did he only acquire his Lancashire accent after also acquiring Ivy as his mother (a few episodes later)?
I couldn’t stand Suzy Burchhill Her going off on Steve about the redundancy money and she deserved to lose her job because she was calling long distance on the company phone
Greetings from Tyne @ Wear! ..... WoW! I am very happy to have stumbled upon this Gem of a series by pure accident! I recently attempted to get into the current version of this programme, but to be totally honest, I found it very unpleasant to watch, and I tuned out! So, when I discovered this vintage version, it piqued my interest! It is great and I am slowly, but happily, working my way through the years. All of the characters, have a good and a not so good side to them of varying degrees, but the one 'resident' I cannot abide, is Hilda Ogden. Thank goodness I do not have to live near to a real life version! She is a trouble making nosy parker who loves to dish out negativity, but she is totally unable and unwilling, to accept the consequences, of her actions and she never seems to realise how nasty and dangerous, her busy bodying is. Yes, it is also true to say, that most of the other characters gossip, such as they would in the real world, but this piece of work, takes it to a whole new level!!!! Incidentally, whereas I think this character seems to leave a lot to be desired, I do however feel that the actress who plays the role of Hilda, is doing an amazing job of portraying such a crazy individual. ..... It just leaves me to thank the uploader, for giving me many a happy hour in allowing me to enjoy this wonderful vintage journey. Kind Regards. xx
to be fair,Stan and hilda didn't encourage Bet to put money in the slot machine. They actually told her not to. They didn't want her to waste her money
That drove me mad, she had no right to take that money. If they choose to store that money in a fruit machine, it's their business. No different to her taking it from a tin in the cupboard.
Ivy before she got religion - "I quite like going to church, well, once in a while". Just a short time later she would be going to church every week, plus Catholic club and getting to know the priest. I wonder why the decision to transform her attitude towards religion when she moved into the street was taken. It was a good move, it emphasised her sanctimonious, truculent nature, and added another dimension to CN.
Ah Suzie... a shame they changed her as she was great when she first arrived. Ambitious, confident and fun. But when they brought her back in the 80s she was trying to steal Gale's man!
So it is. I've just googled him. His name is Russell Dixon. According to IMDB, he played, as you say, Dave Barnes, Harry Potts and in 2012 / 2013, he returned again as a character called Henry Wilkins. Well spotted!

Yes similar to the series ‘clocking off’. The many different lives of the factory workers, I used to love the friendships I formed as a factory worker
Hilda, Stan & Eddie greatest triple act in tv history.... if only we could rewind the clock.
Yep. Absolute legends.
Absolute genius.
Best threesome ever!
Speak for yourself! I was only 8 years old!
I can’t stand Eddie! He is a lazy free loader!

love old corry cant watch new ones stan & hilda great act from past
The new ones aren't even Corrie, it's like a different show.

These old episodes remind me of my northern dad...mythering..I'll swing for you...shape...don't talk wet...Good old days 👍
Ken teaching her to read reminded me of when he was trying to teach Raquel french in 1993.

This is cheering me up no end during our 🇦🇺Lockdown. Great memories and times living Manchester 🤗👍👏👏👏
Yes it does what nothing else does....good memories gives us life. Had an in law that lived in Cheetal opposite bus station years back.
I freaking love Stan, comedy gold 🤣🤣
He da man
Thanks very much.
Spring is in the air and another 70s upload, thank you beaucoup.
Love Corrie proper actors and actresses
Thank you thank you thank you! Love these old episodes so much! Appreciate all of your hard work! 😃😃😃
Many thanks!
"I heard you were a teacher"
"Yes, I was, but not remedial..."
Ken, you silver tongued charmer you... 😂
love the classics
2:33:32 Stan & Hilda are watching Adiós Sabata while Elsie's party is in full swing.
1:33:43 “I quite like going to church. Well, once in a while.” Fast forward 10 years and Ivy is practically paying them rent 😆
Liz Dawn, natural comic genius. If you get a chance, look up the behind the scenes Blankety Blank featuring her and Norman Pace. She had him peeing his pants with laughter.
Omg i watched on TH-cam that was hilarious made it even funnier cos they were sat next to each other lol 😂
Yes indeed a comic genius - some years later there was a clip of Vera sitting at home alone watching and trying to understand the opera - no words spoken and none needed her facial expressions were priceless
Had a look thanks for that .. a joy of laughter
Happy Easter to you Professional Gun66 and thanks for all your uploads :-)
I prefer Eddie's philosophical rough diamond to Ken's executive soft soap.
Thank you..Thank you..for uploading these episodes
I've just come back to 78 when I was 9 , I'm horrified Hilda looks so young 😅 At 55 I feel old !
Ken is the perfect example of too much book smarts & not enough common sense what a unit! 😂
😂
Look how polite and demure Vera was back in these days lol, almost a totally different character to the icon we grew to love in later years.
Oh aye, this was before she learned the word: "victimizaaaaaaaation."

I always see your responses on these.
Couldn't agree more. No sense watching after 83 for me personally
@@2500mike same here, I limp along to about the middle of 1986 then I just can't watch. Specially once Sally and Kevin got together.

He never really acquired a Lancashire accent. He used his own Teesside accent, which was completely ridiculous.
Aka Jaws.
1:46:29 Tracey pointing at the boom mic out of shot! 😂
Gorgeous baby girl
Look at Mrs. Walker's face @ 2:29:09. She has the best expression's.
Doesn't she just! Doris Speed was a very gifted comedienne.
Much loved and just wish I could watch it in America!!
Hilda was never scared to speak her mind, I thought her and stan were great on corrie, RIP to them both, thank you for sharing this video 😊😊
I couldn’t stand Suzy Burchhill Her going off on Steve about the redundancy money and she deserved to lose her job because she was calling long distance on the company phone
Start to finish couldn’t stand her.
She was what Sarah platt is
Horrendous woman.
Why didn’t he fire her right away for stealing clothes??! 🤣😂

The Ogdens and the slot machine, genius! 😄
I ❤ you Hilda.
Any chance of 1979? Thanks so much!
Funny in 78 79 - there’s a snippet in each episode of black people - the pub - court and randomly on the street .
Classic Hilda and Elsie slanging match in the street.
Brian’s voice!!! 😂
Owwer Brian and gormless Gail, let the good times roll with poison ivy 😂
Dropped off the perch! I laughed out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why don't the current producers take note of the comments.
Seeing more and more of Bill Tarmay in these episodes.

I always thought of it as a dig at Catholics and their " ridiculous rules". Can see no other real reason for it really.
Fairclough really fancies himself as a ladies man 😂
A sad episode with Ray absent , ringing up like that only for his young daughter not wanting to speak to him.
14:06 Onslo has been work shy since he was a young man😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Poor Hilda, downtrodden, trying her best to make ends meet
Betty is the only one who treats eddie with any respect
