I love how Hilda spoke her mind she Just said it as it was! And she never beat around the bush, I think she played a great character one of the best RIP jean Alexander you were a star ⭐️
Jean Alexandra played a great character as hilda i love ❤️ the old ones of coronation street i remember watching these episodes with my mum as a teenager I have many fond memories
Hilda ..shes got a heart of gold ..hated the factory lot for what they did to Henry.. Miserable Claytons arrive in the Tanner house..glad they didn't last long
What a rotten lot to take against Henry like that. Ida Clough is a gruesome witch! She could have just dumped that letter and said nothing, but no, she had to be seen as the high and mighty and lord it over him.
Totally agree a right rotten bunch and I'm glad told everyone about themselves right to their faces. Frustrating though that he never mentioned that about his ill mother...maybe even that wouldn't have changed them.

@@stormhawk3319 1984-5 was a very transitional period for tv, if not the country. the miners strike was a deeply rooted, and felt, period, that cut across class lines. i don't know if many people remember the broadcasting strikes, and the public sector strikes that followed the miners' strikes. about this time peter madelson joined world in action as a producer. i just felt this storyline was very puerile, and wholly emotive that failed to balance any aspect of the upheaval these strikes were the consequence of, and the consequences they in themselves brought about.
@@eatmywords like I said, a Tory propaganda soap. William Roache was a Tory monarchist who obviously had a lot of influence on the show simply because he was it’s last original actor.
I have just realized that there are two actors in these episodes who later became Paramedics in Casualty years later. Jane Hazlegrove and Ian Bleasdale.
The guy that visits The Recorder for advertising is Dave Dutton who played Oswald in the brilliant 80s/90s Granada comedy "Watching." Apparently he played 9 different characters in Coronation Street through the years 🤷🏻♀️
Did Ken mean to say hitting a hammer with a nail? Jean Alexander...wow...just THE BEST!! The days when Coronation Street was up there with Literature! The scenes between Hilda and Henry, especially the whole library scene...genius! No wonder Coronation Street appealed to so many from all walks of life. Beautiful stuff! I haven't watched it for years since it became drivel. Thanks for these screenings!
Eastenders debuted in February 1985 so there was 6 British soap operas Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm, Brookside, Crossroads, Eastenders and Take the High Road
There can't be many people Emily Bishop DOESN'T consider herself superior to. She is SO snooty and stuck up, and seems to think she is in a class above pretty much everyone, except maybe Ken, Deirdre and Alf. Who died and made HER Lady of the Manor? Dierdre is almost as bad, scoffing at The Duckworths, Hilda etc. She's hardly in a position to look down on anyone, in the social scheme of things, is she....
Fun to see Hilda so hesitant to go into the library - perhaps the writers did it intentionally. In real life, Jean Alexander had been a librarian before she was an actress and in later years took part in a campaign to save local libraries.
Deirdre “I thought there might be summat in it to give Ken some ideas.” Rita “There’s magazines that specialise in that. Only we don’t stock ‘em.” And Mavis didn’t say anything!
Gosh a young Jane Hazlegrove …aka Bernie Winter here with Percy and Deidre but as a totally different character. These are great memories all these old episodes 🥰😊I started watching Coronation Street when I was about 8 and I’m 50 now. Thanks for the memories from here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤
Often, people in the comments section say how evil and poisonous Ivy is but Vera is worse. She's clearly a bully and has been unfaithful to her husband on more than one occasion. She only gets away with it because of her bubbly personality.
My understanding is that Ivy's "poison" personality came later. Here she seems genuinely contrite, telling Hilda she will go to confession and asking for Hilda's forgiveness.
After Stan died, the magic of Corrie was diminished even though Hilda carried the torch by herself......they tried to start the Vera/Jack, Emily/Percy double act...but nothing compared. Even when they brought Kevin into number 13, it wasn't the same, then Sally arrived......downhill from there. After Jean Alexander left that was the end tbh. It ended up being the Bet Lynch show.
Well spotted. Brown to grey. I worked for Nikki Clapp years ago, she did the continuity on Out of Africa. I’ve always had a fascination for it since used to drive the wife mad I’d say “ did you notice that?”
Curly “That’s a very sexist comment, Terry. I think you’re a male chauvinist pig on the quiet.” Terry “There’s no ‘on the quiet’ about it! I’m proud of it.” 😂😂😂
Vera and Ivy, I have to turn down my volume Ivy has an unattractive square mouth when she is required to laugh or cry. Hard to tell if shes happy or extremely sad.....hahaha
2.46.41 Did Wilf just say you could hardly notice Deirdre had specs on? Is someone as visually challenged as that a man Bet really wants behind the bar??🤣🤣
Whenever I get frustrated, with the anti-common sense of 2023, I find myself coming back to the 70s. Where we all grafted or went without. Where you was posh if you had a new car, colour telly, fitted carpet or central heating. I know I’m guilty of nostalgia. But, I’m the sort of old fool that values community more than inanimate objects. Silly old woman but easily pleased.
How did BogFace Barlow and Deidre not get another appraisal after he low-balled her so much from the get go? Only 2/3 thru this but ..I don't seeing them getting it back
Sure uncle Albert is related to ken ( ken is such a pantie waist.but its okay for loud mouth Vera to cheat the time clock n steal from work,ivy is in same boat. Unions arent they great for the company
Bet struggling to find a man to do bar work. In `real-life` back then in 1985 all she would have to do is advertise for one in the job centre and she would have 200 applicants the next day. Seemed only in mythical Weathefield that it was a struggle to fill jobs.
I sometimes have trouble understanding certain characters (such as Irma Barlow), but I thought it was because I'm a yank and am still getting used to the northern accent and slang. If I watch a scene twice, I can usually pick up more.

Hilda Ogden is really a wonderful lady, with a 💖 of gold!🥰
The actresses who played Ida Clough and Ivy Tilsley both had small parts in the 1979 film Yanks starring Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave.
What a rotten lot to take against Henry like that. Ida Clough is a gruesome witch! She could have just dumped that letter and said nothing, but no, she had to be seen as the high and mighty and lord it over him.

Hilda was the greatest. None better.
The only one who stood up for Henry in that whole street. Even “socialist” Ken Barlow didn’t even bat an eye.

These are the greatest months for the street-all well written & acted…thank you so much for sharing!! Much appreciated!!! 😃😃😃
I have just realized that there are two actors in these episodes who later became Paramedics in Casualty years later. Jane Hazlegrove and Ian Bleasdale.
Henry didn't have a choice, he had to work to at least try and save his Mum who was ill
Lets all pretend Andrea Clayton is a right stunner - i know its not gonna be easy
The only good thing about every great character leaving is I can go back to 1960 and watch them all again. And I will be when Hilda leaves.
same here.

There's more reality and heartfelt concern in the Henry story than anything that has appeared in this programme since 1995.
Wow those factory workers and the trade unions were incredibly harsh. Poor bloke.
Phyllis and Percy are comedy gold 🤣
Did Ken mean to say hitting a hammer with a nail?

And then she followed up with DIY magazines, I nearly spat out my tea.😂😂
I've only been to Manchester once but I wonder if that beautiful building that was the library is still open to the public
The storyline about the factory girls going against that guy henry because he abandoned his strike team. The man was in debt, give the man a break
They were pretty militant.

If only Henry stayed with Hilda he wouldn't have spiraled into a life of crime culminating in being Peter Barlow's cellmate about 20 years later 😂
😄🤣
😮

Vera was the biggest hypocrite in the street as soon as someone pointed out her behaviour was the same as someone else's she would go quiet
My understanding is that Ivy's "poison" personality came later. Here she seems genuinely contrite, telling Hilda she will go to confession and asking for Hilda's forgiveness.
Baldwin’s carousing in the 80’s would get him arrested in 2021. 🤣

Bet, oh Bet. Rovers Warrior Queen!
Bet handled vera like a pro
2:30:00 How the hell did Hilda forget all Henry talked about was railways?
Vera’s an opinionated loud mouth. Funny to think she was one of my favourite characters later on.
They were playing a song we used as a title for a program in New Zealand country calendar at the dance night
did anyone else notice one of the draymen went on to play a policeman ( Phil) in heartbeat..
Hilda should go to the factory and say why Henry couldn’t join the strike.
Hilda operates in mysterious ways +_+
Yes, and it is maddening that she doesn't.
It takes one to know one Percy is selfish and is only happy unless he's making someone else miserable!
I think Percy is just so full of himself that he doesn't realize the effect he has on others.
2:15:30... If Ken pulls them pants up any higher....
He'll be singing like Hilda!
😂😂😂

2.47.37 How small a gap is there between the Kabin and the cafe? When Jack walked into the Kabin, it was as if he’d just that second left the cafe!
Their entrances were in a little lane at side of Rosamund Street - the main window was on R.Street
It's bang opposite.

Gloria was about the prettiest Bar Maid the Rovers ever had. Gloria was a bit smart mouthed at the beginning, she got kinder as time went on.
Why is Percy SO awful to Phyllis?? I don’t like it. It’s hurting my heart to watch it
I think he's just not attracted to her and finds her advances awkward. He makes several unflattering comments about her size and age.
I. Cannot. Stand. Ken.
Me. Neither.
I. Agree.
