It is not the same programme at all today. In its prime, CS was some of the finest TV drama ever produced, superb scripts and performances. Its glory days have never been matched since, never mind bettered.
Stan and Hilda really were like an early Jack and Vera, weren’t they? Just what Jack’s do-pinch a flower from a park to win a competition, then challenge anyone to prove he hadn’t grown it! 😂😂
@@gilliangrant8764 - What Theresa meant was that the Ogden were considered "common, loud and clueless" by everyone else in the street and were the butt of jokes in much the same way that the Duckworths and Battersbys would be when they came onto the show later on.
Kelly Williams I agree. It was such a tragedy that such a really great actor was cut down by that stroke. It seemed that it happened just as they were giving Stan more lines and a bigger part of the story line. He was a pleasure to watch in those days! That stroke really messed up his speech for the rest of his life. As I made my way through the series I hoped that his speech would improve, but it really didn't. But I am definitely a huge fan of the Stanley Ogden character!
@@SUPER_WOLFMOON I know, poor Bernard Youens, a lovely actor who was never the same after the stroke. Yet Corrie bosses were kind, and they kept him in the show. They gave him fewer lines, and built up Eddie Yates' role, giving him more scenes with the Ogdens to help take the strain. It worked better than they could have hoped, Eddie became like the Ogdens' adopted son! Bernard Youens was actually known for his beautiful speaking voice and diction, when he was a TV continuity announcer, before his re-birth as Stan Ogden in Coronation Street.
"these episodes from the 60's and 70's added just as much humor to the storylines as they did drama the episodes in the 90's and 2000's however have more drama and no humor at all, I prefer watching these better."-😄. 🌐📻🌐.
For me, I pretty much stopped watching Corrie around about the 2000s. The humour became too much like a bad pantomime after that. The clips I see of Coronation Street today are just pure depressing.
It was when I was quarantined sick with covid that I got into Corrie. Once I got sick about the same time, the stuff closed down and lockdowns hit in the US. My favorite ones were the ones in and around 1977-78 as they were the closest thing to normality at the time that I could think of. Been watching some of them off and on ever since.
Wasn’t much even then - dad gave us ten pence - from mam, if dad wasn’t there, we were lucky to get five pence each - we weren’t paupers or beggars - mam was too stingy!
Well well Hilda had admire, glad it came to nuffin cos Hilda & Stan we’re so much in ❤️ if they weren’t Corrie wud never be the same not only that Hilda wud never stray can’t believe he that Stan actually new about the crush wid Mr Greenwood had on Hilda even tho there was a long list of women who were on his list 🙄🤦🏾♀️😊
Loving Irma's laugh. It's so contagious 😂 15:18
Stan reminds me of John Barrymore when he was older. Bet he was really striking when he was young.
Tilly Divine Beautifully stated! Thank you for your insight.

Agreed
Ty so much for uploading these episodes great fan from nz here 💓

Stan and Hilda were the original, they set the example for the Duckworths, Battersbys etc.
@@theresapierce3934 Nah, Stan and Hilda were out on their own. No other couple could even compare, before or since.
Even thought Vera and Hilda found their husbands tiresome, Hilda and Vera never got on.

Stan was much thinner and more present

I looked Stan the character up on google. His army photo looks like he could be a movie star. Good looking bloke.
@@danrobinson572 I met him. Great stuff.
Billy was lovely then ❤️
Quite fanciable.
That Billy Walker!
Thank you for sharing!

Me too. I stopped watching Corrie over 10 years ago. It lost the humour trying to copy Eastenders.

I go back to the 70's through the Coronation St. portal. Better than being in here in the #BigLockdown

Back in 71 my pocket money was 30 p a week, so to pay 50 p for a home made cake was quite the luxury.
In this day and age you can buy sod all for 30 pence.
Wasn’t much even then - dad gave us ten pence - from mam, if dad wasn’t there, we were lucky to get five pence each - we weren’t paupers or beggars - mam was too stingy!
So different to see Coranation Street in colour takes a bit of getting used to 😎😎
Keeping the draught off his entry. 😂😂😂
Weird seeing Stan full of life not hunched over and mumbling.
Bernard suffered a stroke which affected his health
Bloody hell. Emily pished.
Artemis Zeus brilliant lol 😆
Are you Scottish?
Who's idea was it to put her on wine?😂😂😂
@@damiencrowley5546 How did you guess?
Stan was so slim!
Well well Hilda had admire, glad it came to nuffin cos Hilda & Stan we’re so much in ❤️ if they weren’t Corrie wud never be the same not only that Hilda wud never stray can’t believe he that Stan actually new about the crush wid Mr Greenwood had on Hilda even tho there was a long list of women who were on his list 🙄🤦🏾♀️😊
Who tought you to read and write? Your grammar and spelling is akin to that of a 7 year old child.
A measly 50 pence for that cake ?! She could easily have got all of ten bob for it !
Ten Bob is 50,,,,,p
Albert is so funny and cute, lol.
14:22 Emily's been at the homewade gooseberry mine...
Slim Stan .....👀
@@AH-dj8mi He got heavier when he was older. Also, Hilda was always calling him fat, even when he wasn't.
👍👍👍 thank you.
Henry Wilks from Emmerdale as George Greenwood. Actor Arthur Pentelow.
Nay Mr Wilks.
Wilks of woolpack??
A year later, he would be staring in a new soap called Emmerdale Farm.
Homemade geeseberry woon..
A cake for 50p?? Times have changed
Steven Cassidy it would have been a lot of money then
Inflation calculator from the Bank of England puts it at about £8 in today's money. It's actually quite expensive.
50p was expensive in the mid 70s. So in 71 it must have been a small fortune.
Bloody hell Annie was one stuck up cow fur coat and no bloomers
