That's wonderful, and he was smart and more well informed than might be assumed. I always loved the line where he and Stan were playing dominoes, and Hilda referred to Omar Sharif as being a domino player, Eddie said something like "Bridge, Hilda, he played bridge". So funny

I'm watching old corrie everyday on you tube, my childhood cup of tea, corrie on the tv, great memories, my now sadly late dad 🙏looked like Mike Baldwin, he wore this leather jacket and we joked you look like Mike Baldwin 😂 love Elsie Hilda Stan and Eddie,and bet lynch of course, yet I still haven't seen this or other episodes yet, Mavis I don't really know, she only said that line once, Stan sadly died in real life so they wrote it in the script and I bet Hilda's tears at his tv funeral were real😢 great actors xx
Ahh - Hilda thought Stan was protecting her honour at the party but he was protecting his beer! Thank you for 1980 I have had a lovely week watching them!
I remember watching this with my grandad. I used to sit between his legs on the floor in front of “his chair” and he would tell me jokes, and sing songs, but wouldn’t tell me how they finished. I remember him telling me “you on the pot?” Meaning he wanted a cuppa. What happened? What happened to sitting with your grandad and being entertained by silly jokes and stupid rhymes? ❤
Emily's new husband being a bigamist was the best way out that could have happened, from an absolutely dreadful life ahead with a controlling narcissist.
Stan made me 😂giggle 😂when he said “I don’t care 🤷 if we have separate houses” 🏘️ when hilda suggested they have separate beds! ❤these funny scenes with Stan and Hilda 😊😊
Good morning I remember watching this when I was only 9 Year's old on a Christmas Eve night with my mam and dad and my mam getting the Christmas dinner ready they was the good old days my mam and dad bast away when I was only 9 Year's old on Christmas Eve
I felt badly that Hilda gave up her cleaning lady. The poor thing definitely needed the help. Annie should have let it go. It was not her business. If it was what Hilda wanted, that was OK.
Its surprising how many people cant tell a good person form a bad one - no instincts in that respect what so ever - maybe they have lived sheltered lives - i can sense a wrongun a mile a way thank goodness
I love ❤️ all the Christmas episodes and a good party 🎈 on the street, I feel sorry for Emily, she as been though a lot of pain, Ernie was killed then she met a bigamist, thank you 🙏 for the nostalgia episodes i love ❤️ the 70s and 80s, such fond memories…
2:33:55 has to be one of the funniest scenes ever ! Especially when that bloke says "have you anywhere I can lean Alec?" and then props him up on Hilda's wall 😂😂 and 2:39:56 where he just collapses to the floor and nobody gives a monkey's as if he's a paper plate or something😂😂
2:55:01 Classic Ivy. Gail gets Labour pains, go off in the ambulance, `Our Brian` finds out and obviously wants to go to the hospital to be with her, yet Ivy not once but twice tells him to have a bit of dinner before he goes ! Totally unrealistic.
Ivy still saw Brian as Her Baby and never gave him credit as a grown man, couldn't stand her back in the day and she got ten times worse after Bert died.
This was a few years before he joined ' though you could be right ' seen some recent episodes ' can't believe how old he is now ' recall him as a cheeky young lad when he first came to Corrie ' worked in Brian Tilsley's garage.
Even though she has a Face that would sink a Thousand Ships Emily dodged a Bullet there. Love every scene with Hilda and Stan and Eddie in it. Hilda shines in every scene.
10:11 Whatever that strange, pale, watery liquid is Mike's dad's pouring out of a scotch bottle, it isn't whisky! I recall in Johnny Briggs; autobiography he said the scotch Mike drank in the Rovers was apple juice - maybe the stuff in the bottle is apple juice plus a lot of water!
I remember once years ago going on a tour in Scotland which took in a couple of specialist whisky makers, i remember one was the company that produced the marvellous Glenmorangie whisky & we sampled different reserves etc & there was a special makers Reserve which was almost pale biscuit in colour. It was such a superb taste that we all bought a bottle at the special visitors price, although still very expensive but worth every drop The other whisky makers also did different types & blends some of which ranged from a deep gold to a mellow amber to a pale wheat colour & tastes from honey, heather, smokey or nutty rich I really enjoy a glass of whisky But only the good quality sipping whiskies, some of the Irish whiskey 's are also very unique in taste. Ive never drunk whisky to get drunk, its too much of a pleasure to savour a good whisky & sip over several hours. My favourite? Glenmorangie & Laphroig Cheers 🇬🇧👧
I think the character had potential. He could have matured with marriage to his girlfriend and moved into the street, moving into his grandmother's house and taking over the yard. But we lost the characters of Len and Elsie and the storyline went to pot, with mediocre acting to boot.
When Len got killed off Barbara Knox started to change the character of Rita - she started to get posh probably more like her own character - but i missed the old Rita it was never quite the same
Rita became even more up herself after Len died, she was just lucky that he left her with plenty of money. I never thought much of her character, lording it over the Ogdens, who were hardworking, but less well off than many in the street. She seemed to think of herself as a, self made woman, when all she had was left to her. I never liked her, Queen Bee, attitude.
Yes your right she was more softer but a lot of her humour came from her bing a bit of a bully - Either way i liked the old Rita much better@@robertprees603

That’s a blast from the past - Xmas cards in the post! Bet the price of stamps aren’t as dear today and the thickness card doesn’t have to be measured before it gets a stamp either!
2:58:55 no Bet, it’s not “masterly ” it’s vile, can’t stand Anne Walker sometimes, swanning off leaving the staff to deal with the “Winter of discontent” at the Rovers,then blaming everyone else.
Love watching the very believable professional gritty actors again. I don’t watch the later Corrie as it’s not the same and similar story lines go round and round looking for shock tactics
Made more movies than John Wayne 🙂 He could do 3 in a day organised right 🇬🇧💯 Prisoner of War? It's good to see he's got some weight on, or maybe not??? Married a world champion table tennis champ with a cool name🎬⚖️🗣️📢🤩😍🇬🇧
Gail and Brian, watching a frantic, noisy cow boy film, on their romantic night in ... Gail trying to bill and coo in Brian's ear above the TV racket ...
😂 What a pity Eddie wasn't around in 2020. Everyone convinced they were dying of the cold because tv broadcasted symptoms 24/7. I said back then, men in the seventies and eighties would never have bought it. Love these old Corries, when men were men and women were women.😊
People underestimate how smart Eddie was. I teach Sociology and would love someone like him in my class!!
That's wonderful, and he was smart and more well informed than might be assumed. I always loved the line where he and Stan were playing dominoes, and Hilda referred to Omar Sharif as being a domino player, Eddie said something like "Bridge, Hilda, he played bridge". So funny
The December episodes are my favourite! Hilda's party and Eddie are fabulous. I laughed out loud. Great writing and great acting!
Excellent post. The best storyline Granada ever did was to place Eddie Yates as the lodger at the Ogdens.
Agree 💯...Totally amusing! Love it!
Only going by the previous couple of years but it seemed to me he always was a lodger!
Indeed it was also to take the workload off Bernard Youens after his stroke.
Agree!! X
The chemistry between the three of them was awesome.
Stan, Hilda and Eddie, id love to spend an evening in the pub with those 3, best soap characters ever.
Good laughs.
The Ogdens and Eddie Yeats are comedy gold. Fantastic.
And to think Eddie was only created to give Bernard Youens backup on lines after he began having health issues. But it was a partnership that was TV gold!

I really miss Ena. She was golden.
I just adore Stan’s giggles when he thinks he’s got one over Hilda.
Couple goals ⭐️⭐️⭐️
These episodes are addictive! 🤣
They sure are!
Emily's new husband being a bigamist was the best way out that could have happened, from an absolutely dreadful life ahead with a controlling narcissist.
Yes - the script writers must have been horrified when he started being so horrible to Emily
@@williamf4544 that made me laugh, we forget this is acting and they had scripts 😂I suppose a testimony of how good it was .
Fun anorak fact - Sam Kydd who played Mike’s dad was in more films than any other UK actor. His son was the voice of the Ferrero Rocher adverts
He was also a prisoner-of-war for most of WW2
He wrote a book about it - now very hard to get (and worth quite a bit)
He was excellent, I only became aware of him through watching these old CS episodes. He did so much, he must never have been out of work!
Thank you for sharing these episodes; they make me laugh and cry; even better than those of today. Corrie was much more interesting back in the day.
Stan made me 😂giggle 😂when he said “I don’t care 🤷 if we have separate houses” 🏘️ when hilda suggested they have separate beds! ❤these funny scenes with Stan and Hilda 😊😊
Thank you so much for 1980 uploads
Love watching episodes from 1976 to 1984 ' those were golden Corrie ' though it goes right back to 1960.
'It's egg, egg, egg!!' Fantastic, from Corrie's truly golden days.
“Get back on them windows, ya great fat lump”😂😂
The Ogdens' party is also comedy perfection - marvellous.
That was a Xmas party in the 80s
Gail's voice is like fingernails on a blackboard, while eating a hair sandwich.
Aye lard sandwiches was proper treat!
I couldnt imagine Corrie back then without Emily - a great contrast with the others in the street - like The Queen she never put a foot wrong
I'd hardly say been racist towards Deirdre and Samir was not putting a foot wrong. She was awful to the pair of them! P*ss stinking old bat
Until she married a bigomist.
Bless Bert worrying about loosing his job breaks my heart to see a man upset.
Bert was such a sweetie. He reminds me of my late stepfather - he was married to a witch like Poison Ivy, ie, my mother.
At 1: 05:00 he looks like he's spent a week in the Canaries.
Miserable old grunter.The worst character ever.
And a lousy actor.
That table cloth on Hilda's table is gorgeous, very vintage
I agree. Also Albert Tatlock has a nice cloth too. Not sure if it's the same one.
Good, but the pattern of the Rovers wallpaper demands hallucinogens!
@@michaelroberts7374 That type of paper was all the rage in the late 70s early 80s - my mum had something similar in the livingroom
@@peterraimondi9569 Yes Mr. Tatlock's is as well, gorgeous.
Eileen Derbyshire is only 49 in these December episodes.. can't believe she was that young.
Everyone looked older back then. About 15 years on average, I find.
Coronation street is the best soap
It Was the best soap, I don't know what it is any more, it's not the same programme at all

How anyone thought Emily's second husband was a nice man is beyond me. He was a weirdo right from the start.
Horrible man.
Its surprising how many people cant tell a good person form a bad one - no instincts in that respect what so ever - maybe they have lived sheltered lives - i can sense a wrongun a mile a way thank goodness
Coz she's a god bothering nut job so everyone's too scared to tell her the truth.
Why did she marry a Wierdo?
Master Manipulator from day one!
2:14:52 - Emily and Deirdre seem to be drowning in a sea of beige, even the sofa looks like it's melting into the wallpaper.
Brown/beige was the official colour of the 70’s and 80’s
It’s literally the early 80’s. The 70’s was brown and beige personified lol. It carried over, until people had the money to change it.
It still looks better than dull grey that seems to be the thing these days.

Always hated Ivy

So was I !!
“You’re a Bigger Mist!” ( I know that’s not how it’s spelled, but that’s how Emily said it.)
😂 he always struck me as a bigger something
That Arnold was a nasty character ' Ernie was much nicer and a proper husband to Emily.
I love Mike Baldwin American accent at 7:16 lol I love this show!
Hilda had the right idea about employing a cleaner....if you've got the money why not, nice to see her getting some pleasure
Even though she has a Face that would sink a Thousand Ships Emily dodged a Bullet there. Love every scene with Hilda and Stan and Eddie in it. Hilda shines in every scene.
