What a great month from the glory days otherwise known as 1977. Annie's 40yrs at the Rovers, lots of t'riffic scenes featuring the Oggies and the lovely Anne Kirkbride's excellent scenes as emotional Deirdre having been confronted under the viaduct by a perv. Takes ya back doesn't it chuck?
I espc love the Silver Jubilee one from that year ' where Stan inadvertantly drains the battery on the float and they hold a mock trial in the Rovers for him.
When Corrie was worth watching, Nowadays it's absolute rubbish,Prefer the past times when the Street had humour added to it 🤣🤣❤️Love the iconic episodes from the past ❤️❤️❤️R I P Johnny Briggs as Mike Baldwin,And Pat Phoenix as Elsie Tanner to Anne Kirkbride as Deirdre Barlow to name a few no longer with us who were popular in this,To Jean Alexander as Corrie Icon Hilda Ogden ,Bernard Youeons as Stanley Ogden to Doris Speed as Annie Walker ,Great icons from the past ❤️❤️❤️
Mrs Walker may well have celelebrated 50 years in The Rovers if the gutter press hadnt done the dirty on her which made her leave the street - i would love to know the name of the person responsible - hope karma paid them a visit
@@sherylbarker9465 Someone from the press got hold of her birth certificate and published it in the paper for all to see - everyone was shocked that she was in her eighties - Ms Speed felt totally humiliated and never came back to the show from that minute on - now today this wouldnt have been a big deal but back then it wasnt so common for actresses to be still working at that age so it caused a big hoohah - and she was of the generation who regarded a ladies age to be something not to be shared - as it turns out now she was a trail blaizer because now its nothing unusual for actors and actresses to be in soaps in their eighties or till they drop - times have changed as they always do
I think if we're honest, her time was coming anyway - it's very heavy work for someone that age. She was taking more and more time off from the street.
The night scenes of Deidre were very spooky. To think that the Yorkshire Ripper had crossed over the Pennines to murder in Lancashire and there we see a young Mother walking in the dark night with a stranger following her. Creepy….Jean Jordan was murdered in Manchester on October 1st, 1977.
Just watching the bit when Hilda gets her washing machine. I’ve not long watched the 1980s episodes & there’s ones where Kevin Websters lodging with Hilda & eventually Sally moves in. Well Sally & Kevin buy her a washing machine & she claims then she’s NEVER had one! Also Mavis buying a massive jar of Nescafé “coz they go through it so fast” Renee remarks that she doesn’t sell much coffee due to the price, then the next day Mavis is back in asking for a Jar of coffee! 🙂
At the time I don’t think they expected you to be watching compilations of the 1970s and noticing. They certainly didn’t know the show would still be going.
Coronation street is such good social history. The Deidre rape storyline highlighted the appalling social attitudes of the time. Women who were attacked like that were blamed for somehow "asking for it" or for being out "at that time of night". They were somehow thought of as being morally dubious and dirty. Victim blaming was all too common back then.
53:32 - believe it or not, this is an entirely different Morris Traveller to the one Stan Ogden borrowed in July of that year...that one was grey. You older folk didn't know you were born with great classic cars like that as cheap old bangers!
41:16 first credited appearance of Bill Tarmey, who later went onto play Jack Duckworth, he reappears in 78 as “Jack Rowe” then in 79 at Gail and Brian’s wedding as Jack.
Very interesting comparing prices from this show. I watched another episode where Mavis was going to have to pay 15 Pounds a week in rent. In todays money it's around 98 Pounds. So obviously rent was very affordable by comparison. In this episode Mavis has to pay 2 pounds 40 for a Jar of coffee, which is around 19 pounds in todays money. So food seems to have been very expensive by comparison.
I find 2:00:13 - 2:00:29 funny, thinking about it from the perspective of people who struggle to understand what is being said, first Stan on about the food and then Elsie's 'Is he by heckers like' response to somebody banging dementedly on her door
"can a use one of yer cubicles, 'am losing mi knickers - just crossing road a was and the elastic went!! - one of the rolly-pollys (I think), to elsie :-))
Possibly the attack on Deirdre, that's a hard thing for a couple to work through....not an excuse for anyone to cheat though. Deirdre tried hard to her credit.
Susies dad getting drunk and going to drive his car - A lot of people did that back then - In the office where i worked most of them went to the pub and got sozzled before driving home especially on a Friday - No one thought anything of it
Yes. 1977 was the year that the Yorkshire Ripper murdered in Manchester. Ironically, the actor who played Les Battersby found the body. This storyline was probably to warn women not to go out alone. 😞
Was normal back then, especially living in row housing where everyone knew everyone’s business. It was a smaller, less diverse world back then. Most of us were church going still and lived by standards and wouldn’t dream of crossing the line, like many do today.
@@larkatmicabsolute bollocks. Religion started to die in this country in the 1920s and was virtually gone by the 1970s here. I can assure you, the vast majority of people did not go to church in the 1970s. Just look at the characters here on coronation Street. How many of them go to church? Virtually none of them.
As a retired shop worker from Canada; I was just wondering why the machinists threads are always yellow while their sewing materials are blue? Hey I was 27 the last time I watched these episodes; I'm 73 today; talk about time travel!
Never stopped him. Loved what Eddie used to call him. The Gnome from the Smoke! And it's true. I met him once as I worked near the old Granada studios in Quay Street. He is very tiny. 🥰
They knew how to write songs back then - Roll out the barrel - Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts - Knees up mother Brown - Lets all go down the strand have a banana - Maresadotes and doesedotes and lillamseativy a kidleativytoo wouldnt you It all went down hill when The Beatles came around
Hilda was always singing that. There's a 1972 episode when she's cleaning in Benny Lewis' club, tells a rehearsing Rita she should sing 'Amapola', goes to the mic to sing it and Rita's band joins in - great scene.
1:44:56 when Elsie sits down you can see someone or something edging into shot next to Susie, quite creepy. Plus why is it that every time there's a celebration at the Rovers something bad happens.

This was the street at it's peak ' the golden years ' sadly long gone.
This has to be one of my favourite Corrie moments. When Hilda gets her very own washing machine! 🎉🌸⭐️
And the end of the Eddie's tit woolen hat..it got destroyed in a wash.
Oh i can understand Hildas glee at her first washing machine!

Brand spanking new fully automatic washer in 1979

Id never been a very domesticated person & after a 2 yr courtship my fiance & I made a snap decision to get married & got wed 3 weeks later

It's like a bad bitch bonanza! All of these female characters are so distinctive and fleshed out. Iconic casting.
These are the best episodes ever xxx
It's a shame that Ena and Albert weren't at Annie's 40th party
Made me laugh when Billy walks in to Deirdre's and bends down and holds Tracy's hand, the way she stared at him then pulls her hand away 🤣 2:34
