The Rovers looks nothing like a pub. But the characters are absolutely charming. I’ve been watching a lot of old Corrie and what an amazing show it was.
I remember when I was a very young child going with the whole family, uncles, aunties and cousins included to a pub that looked just like the inside of the Rovers in the early 1970s. It was the same colour scheme. The only bright thing was the Christmas tree.
This is exactly what a was like and some still do,,,,,they’re called spit and sawdust pubs,,,women and elderly would usually sit in the snug bar as back then there where no “ lounges” ,,,when lounges came in,,,men would go into the bar the women and disco where in the lounges,,men would send a drink to thier wives via the snug bar,
Annie is such an old snob, she never changed.Poor Emily so straight laced, they were well suited.Dont know who was worse Mavis or Emily,so different to the 2020's.Love these episodes,great fun.
The main thing was that consumer goods were so much more expensive back then in real terms. People couldn't afford to buy the things we can now. These days you can go abroad very cheaply or buy a lot of clothes from Primark. That just didn't exist back then and people weren't able to buy as many things.
What utter nonsense. Most people today are nowhere near poor. Lots of people are skint, which is an entirely different thing, and mostly because so many are financially irresponsible. But of course, it's fashionable to be a victim with zero self responsibility these days isn't it?
I had an outfit like the one Bets wearing in the nineties, just goes to show fashion goes around. Although Emily's outfit can stay firmly in the past!!
Well she did say shes ‘ taking something not quite monkey glands,& costs the earth’ lol just kidding around, but yes I agree she didn’t alter very much considering just how old she really was, being born in 1899
@@scorpioguy3234 this really puts into perspective how much Ken Barlow has seen them all, from the Victorian Ena Sharples to his teenage grandson now in witness protection.
Remember when you had to drop money into a slot in the TV !!! Turn the dial to watch 2 channels!!! A bloke would come knocking for the money!!! Me and my mom would hide behind the sofa !!! Those were the days !!!!
@@nicoladouglas3270 Chuckling with laughter here. I came from a very poor family. When i was at school (when nobody was looking), i used to pinch the plastic 10ps and 50ps from the money counting trays at school. I was only about 7 or 8 at the time and thought stupidly that i was doing my Mum a favour by saving her money. So i would go home and insert them into the back of the telly. Quite often it worked. But Mum was always perplexed as to why the TV always seemed to last longer than normal. That is until the fella from Telebank came and emptied the damn things. Not only bringing a "thick ear" from him but my Mum as well!!
I agree - my gran always used to say she was ugly (and she didn’t age well) but I always thought she looked great in her younger days. Loved Elsie as well but never thought she was as pretty as everyone said
A lot of people very rarely had a weight problem back then neither unlike in these times, this is back when people were more active, nowadays people are lazy through social media and computer games etc.
That last scene must of been a last minute edition to this episode since Sandra Gough suddenly took time off, which is why Judith Barker took her place in the Alan Howard affair storyline. Don't think Elsie was originally meant to appear in this episode either.
That last minute scene does look rushed.. notice how Judith's eyes are fixed behind the camera, as if reading lines at the last minute! Irene Sutcliffe (Maggie) handles the scene very well in the circumstances.
So Mavis, if you think Emily’s too old ( at the same age as you) to get engaged, how do you explain your own future engagement and wedding ( when you’re even older) to Derek?
I know, she wore a mini dress for a meeting in an office and wears that for a party. Having said that I had a dress like that in the 80's for a party. 🤔
It’s funny how they don’t keep up with certain character names, Mollie Sugdens Nellie Harveys husband named Herbert here but named Arthur in later episodes
What was Emily wearing! Looks like she's auditioning for Oliver Twist. I know the 70s had some fashion flawd but that tops it lol. Bette Lynch's outfit was more on trend.
You obviously weren't a woman back in 1971. What Emily was wearing was very much on trend as was Bet's although her outfit would have been worn to a disco, or similar.
16:42 this entire conversation between Annie and Nelly reminds of a conversation between Mrs Solcombe and Miss Brahams😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 especially when Nelly says "go on!'
No fast food, or snacking between meals and just good old fashioned wholesome cooking like shepherds pie, steak and kidney pudding, and bangers and mash followed by tinned fruit and custard or instant whipp!!
Granada and the producers wanted to avoid making a dominate storyline out of Jack's passing in respect of Arthur Leslie's family. Most of the grief that would of occurred didn't happen on-screen, since Annie went to Derby immediately afterwards and his funeral took place there instead of it being in Weatherfield. By the time the show itself addressed Jack's passing, all the characters were already aware of it.
Mollie Sudgen was truly magnificent!
Love how bets lynchs outfit is so fashionable by today’s standards. She’s an icon

its very hard to see the difference between Annie here and in 1983 when she left corrie, she doesn't age
Same with Hilda Ogden. She looks the same here as she did when she left the Street in '87.

She looked well in the late 80s as well when being interviewed about Margot Bryant. Shame she didn't return, even for a visit.
“It’s as obvious as your spare tyre e’ ‘as’n’t found that ring yet.”

Stan was probably one of the leading male characters back then. And look how thin he was.

It's not laziness, it's all the crap we eat now. Our grandparents had breakfast, lunch and dinner and never snacked in between.
@@Sawrattan Yes true.
The scrips and dialogue are in league with Shakespeare. Top top top.
Two minds think alike, that's what I think watching these classics.
They really are, excellent
Emily’s secret weapon was that she was actually dynamite in the sack. A true chandelier swinging screamer.
Only 41? Holy cow. Didn't people age quickly back then?
Smoking ages people heavily.
Smoking, drinking, air pollution, poor diet and just a general attitude that you were "old" much younger than you are today

How clever was the writeing back then eacally with the birthday card
‘In the Autumn of your years
May life present you with few tears
And for every hair that’s grey
May you have great joy this day.’
Rips it up.

So Mavis, if you think Emily’s too old ( at the same age as you) to get engaged, how do you explain your own future engagement and wedding ( when you’re even older) to Derek?
Should never have killed of Ernie
Good christ look at Em Bish's dress. Did it originally belong to Ena Sharples mother?
That kind of Victorian look was briefly fashionable in the early 70s
I love Mavis 💘 💗
Love you coronation street ♥ fan micheál
Bloody hell, was the ratchet faced Alan Howard really considered a catch in the 70s? Even Deirdre tries to pick him up in her first appearance.
He wasn't unattractive, especially in the beginning, but I think his alcoholism was beginning to take a toll on his appearance.
Hatchet faced
Richard Burton was no oil painting
Jeez look st the dress Emily wears to the party. It's the 1970s not the 1870s 😁

takeaways
It was the norm..

Had a stroke I read.

£180 for the tv in 1971. In todays money that’s over £3,200.

Victorian fashion was very much in at the time😊
The early 70s had a bit of a craze for long dresses with frills and large hats.
Excellent 👌
