Thank you from Baltimore for my new addiction! Some months back I finished prisoner cell block h and it led me to your videos. I started at 1978 and here I am!
Brian was away so Gail was lonely. I blame the actor who played Brian. He always wanted time off the show so in the end they killed him off because they were fed up of him!
She's just as dull. Could have been a good match, but everyone is hot to trot!😅 Never understood how people find time to cheat. Laundry to be done, toilets to clean, dishes to load. Then it's off to work. Husband is vacuuming and mowing the lawn. 😢😂
I love the way Kevin, Curley and Terry treat Hilda, look after her, the odd time Kevin raises his voice, but they seem to sort it out. Once Hilda leaves Coronation Street, I might move on to watching something else.
Gail constantly whining and bitching about being an adult/mother/wife is so sickening. That she thinks it’s an excuse to have an affair with her husbands COUSIN is disgusting, selfish and childish. Grow up Gail. She is reminding me way too much of Suzie right now
“If anyone’s to blame, it’s that Bet Lynch! For being stupid enough to ask you to do it in the first place!” Vera’s right, tbh. Jack’s a potman-not an electrician. Asking him to fix electrics is like Brian asking Mavis to repair a car!
I have found that many times myself how having not got what I had wanted was a blessing in disguise as it wasn't the thing that was right for me same as with Gloria not getting Alan Bradley!
@@bsaunders5271 You have a lot to say about Gloria.... looking at you it's easy to spot that you are clearly jealous🤮 of her, you never stop banging on about her🙄
They make it seem like Gloria is a contender for Miss World when all I see is a slightly better looking Jackie Corkhill! Sorry but considering her age and the amount of times she's swanned off with Skippy recently leaving Phyllis and Martin, I'd say it's Phyllis who needs the rest from the Cafe considering her age not Gail the slappa.
Terry should have more self respect and just say OK then when told no and walk away and get on with the rest of his day! Years ago I asked a colleague out and was told no and I just said no problem, walked away and moved on with the rest of my day even though I was disappointed!
Vera is a very unlikable character. I only realised how much so through watching old episodes, she's not the whiney granny she later became, she is an out and out loud mouthed fishwife!
Beginning of the end for decent soaps these overly dramatic storylines! The Coronation Street writers messed everything up by trying to compete with the ridiculous soap Eastenders.
@@soniaclarkstewart I never wore them because I could see how horrible they looked on other people,I never wore big baggy clothes, always wore figure hugging clothes to show my figure off, 😄
1:28:33 - Oh for goodness sake, shut up with your hysterical wailing, Gail! You're the author of your own misery. And Ian the Australian needed his head testing, unless he was particularly fond of hamsters. As it turned out, he wasn't.
She looked her best in the early episodes when she first started. She was still a bleached blonde but she wore her hair natural and flicked out slightly at the end and she was very slim. She seemed to age quickly and the hair pieces and wigs and drag queen makeup didn't help.
The way Gail later blackguards Brian's name as a cheater is unbelievable when she was the one who cheated first! There was never a mention of him cheating until after he found out about Gail and that Ian, at least not as far as I remember
Wonder if Barbara and Thelma were disappointed they had no involvement in the fire story like the other residents. Rita just gave Bet some words of comfort when she was out of hospital.
@@alexanderjones9572 I know. With Kev & Sal being dropped off, I’d have thought that’d be around the same time Rita would be setting out to mark the papers up at the Kabin. Unless Barbara wasn’t keen to be involved and echoed Rita’s sentiments - I can do without that sort of excitement lol.
Is there an international airport in manchesrer in those days? I would have thought he would have hadto drive to Heathrow which means the scene of Gail at the airport is impossible???
Both Ivy and Audrey were both overbearing mothers and mothers in laws. Yet it was only Ivy that was accused of being controlling when Audrey for some reason wasn’t.
Alan was the only man who can put that terry in his place . you don't mess with the superb hunk Alan who is all man where Terry is only AL macho image.
Thank you from Baltimore for my new addiction! Some months back I finished prisoner cell block h and it led me to your videos. I started at 1978 and here I am!
I started from the very first episode I'm hooked lol
@@Paulzor923 That's great! Where did you find them? I had been looking for the older ones
@@montrayjones1947 Auntie Corrie2 they're not all there some are missing.

prisoner cell block h! you have good taste. that was avid viewing when i was at university.
Gail on heat is terrifying.
😂😂
😃🤣
Hilarious!!😂😂😂
absolutely terrifying 😂
😂😂😂
I don't get the cheating storyline with Gail and Ian, it just seems so out of character for her and a bit forced.
It seemed to come out of nowhere
Agreed. Plus it's gross, them two.
And her overbearingness with her kids ,,, she could have made m8re of her life and not all kids 24 7, then they wouldn't have grown apart
Brian was away so Gail was lonely. I blame the actor who played Brian. He always wanted time off the show so in the end they killed him off because they were fed up of him!
Absolutely bizarre storyline!
Watching these brings me so much joy. Thank you!!!
So many of the Corrie ladies had lovely heads of hair back then. Sincerest thanks for the uploads.
Wigs
Wigs, otherwise Ivy would be as bold as a molerat the rate she would have to be dyeing her hair😅
A lot were wigs 😉 I read somewhere
Never known anyone to nurse and savour a ciggie like Hilda does..lol
Despite Brian's dullness, I still don't see why Gail would choose IAN as a replacement, he's awful.
Ian gave her the D 😅
Brian is so criticised, and lots of it is unfair. He's married to Gail, and is the son of Ivy, ffs. Give the guy a break!
Everyone is awful in your eyes looking at your endless nasty comments, mostly bitching about every woman on the programme.🙄
I agree, as dull as Brian might be, he’s still loyal, compassionate and steady. Also he was much better looking (imo) than Ian.
She's just as dull. Could have been a good match, but everyone is hot to trot!😅 Never understood how people find time to cheat. Laundry to be done, toilets to clean, dishes to load. Then it's off to work. Husband is vacuuming and mowing the lawn. 😢😂

Wow, Ian is such a drip 😂
Vera's shouting does my bloody head in, stop shouting wumin!!
and jack,curly,kevin etc.
Are you Scottish Helen doll?
Love the Duckies
Love Vera liz dawn was a great actress
@@sheenamcguire123, she did a grand job bringing Vera to life. My mum loved her.
Well choreographed fight between Alan and Terry. Looked quite real!
The Gail/Ian storyline is ludicrous
Not to mention stomach churning.
And I'll add putrid
Infuriating
Did she really think they would walk off into the sunshine 🤔
Can l add puke inducing??
Gail constantly whining and bitching about being an adult/mother/wife is so sickening. That she thinks it’s an excuse to have an affair with her husbands COUSIN is disgusting, selfish and childish. Grow up Gail. She is reminding me way too much of Suzie right now
She whinged and moaned she wanted to be a wife and mother, how she wanted a family, her own home. Be careful what you wish for!
And brian led Sharon down the garden path oh ya u forgot huh brian has been a plank since day 1 and a rotton actor so phoney
@@jstewart3517In real life, he ended up managing a strip club!
I remember watching that Rover's fire episode, when l was a kid, as if it was yesterday...Bet's screams terrified me back then.
I look forward to these uploads thank you 😀
“If anyone’s to blame, it’s that Bet Lynch! For being stupid enough to ask you to do it in the first place!” Vera’s right, tbh. Jack’s a potman-not an electrician. Asking him to fix electrics is like Brian asking Mavis to repair a car!
Well-Gloria had a lucky escape, not getting as involved with Alan as Rita did!
Gloria didnt have any money.
I have found that many times myself how having not got what I had wanted was a blessing in disguise as it wasn't the thing that was right for me same as with Gloria not getting Alan Bradley!
Alan had a lucky escape from moany Gloria, too.

That smacker Audrey payed on Martin was hilarious!
Is Bet going through a Marlene Dietrich phase, with her shirts, ties and coiffured hair?
I can’t work the hair style out, very unusual.
🤣 when Jack shouts to Mavis to stand back away from the rd and she puts her back right against the wall and looks really worried😂 brilliant acting x
😄
That was funny
Hilarious, but I expected a kangaroo start for Vera😅
😃
Gail is going on like a childish brat
When did she not?
2:01:16
"She's coughing a lot but then, I mean, she always did, didn't she?".
Haha, classic Coro humour at its finest.
Audrey discussing Ian with Gail in the cafe, anyone could be earwigging!
Gail saying she can't imagine living her entire life out on Coronation Street...careful Gail, you pretty much have. 😀
Is she still there? I gave my telly away about ten yrs ago, once I had cracked the 'not turning on at 7pm, all was well. Love watching these classics.
the last I saw she was, without her chin as per @@SuperLisalis
She’s leaving now after 50 years! Lol
Thank you so very much.😊
Both Brian and Ian are awful ... but then, so is Gail ...
Martin Platt has the personality of a crème puff…
At least he wasn't bedding Gay-ull at this point.
God...Martin has more air time ,fast forward.
Ian reminds me of Alistair Mcgowan
A true moment for Gail crying into Bryan's arms...
Fantastic acting...if it was. Acting........wow....
Not usually like Gail
Terry should have more self respect and just say OK then when told no and walk away and get on with the rest of his day!
Years ago I asked a colleague out and was told no and I just said no problem, walked away and moved on with the rest of my day even though I was disappointed!
Gail and Audrey don’t seem to have aged in 30+ years
Vera putting Terry down a bit, unsettles me. Percy was right for once. At least he tried and did something. Getting all the neighbours out and safe
Vera is a very unlikable character. I only realised how much so through watching old episodes, she's not the whiney granny she later became, she is an out and out loud mouthed fishwife!
Len fairclough would've given Bradley a run for his money.
Gail.....was a lovely girl and the writers turned into a horrible person once she got married
Gail was vile from the first time she appeared on the street..
she really wasn't lovely at all ever
20:06: So much is conveyed by Audrey and Gail with just facial expressions, no dialogue. Wonderful writing and acting.
Fails whisperer voice is so grating
Beginning of the end for decent soaps these overly dramatic storylines! The Coronation Street writers messed everything up by trying to compete with the ridiculous soap Eastenders.
Flamin' Nora!! I make sure all my furniture is nailed down when Gail goes into one. Talk about Thunderguts!
I'd forgotten about those ugly opaque white tights everyone was wearing in the 80s .. even Mavis's legs looked fat.
I remember wearing those at primary school!
They were absolutely horrible. I can’t believe I wore them also.
@@soniaclarkstewart I never wore them because I could see how horrible they looked on other people,I never wore big baggy clothes, always wore figure hugging clothes to show my figure off, 😄
“Take me with you.” 😂🤣
Elsie and Val weren't at Albert's 80th birthday celebrations, and Rita never knew Val.
Bet’s wig!
Vile isn't it
"Meet at Gail's cafe at 5.30 ..." that type of greasy-spoon cafe would close not long after lunch, say 3pm ...
1:28:33 - Oh for goodness sake, shut up with your hysterical wailing, Gail! You're the author of your own misery. And Ian the Australian needed his head testing, unless he was particularly fond of hamsters. As it turned out, he wasn't.
😂😂😂
Ha ha! Bravo!
Thank-You
Oh come on, you can do that at home now! Hilda is hilarious, not wanting a romantic show in front of the neighbours
Ian carrying empty luggage 😂
That kiss with bet and Ian was horrible
Bet in the ambulance...."Just hang on Chuck. Gimme time to get me face on."
Something my mum would say.
The moment Elsie Tanner took a black cab out of the street never to return, Coronation Street was finito.
Audreys reaction to Ian leaving is priceless wonderful acting!!
This isn't Alec's first appearance. I've seen him in early 70's episodes.
Vera was a redhead when she first appeared on the show! She’s obviously forgotten!
Watching and enjoying great tv in 2024
Looks like Brian didn’t want to come home! 😂🤣
£1.30 for 20 cigarettes. Loving these old episodes
It’s 10 times that amount now or even more, The prices of cigarettes is ridiculous!
Audrey making more sense than Gail-so it did happen occasionally!
If you knew what Gail and Ian-your daughter in law and nephew-are up to, Ivy...!!
By gum.Bet, the queen of leopard print.
My my Gail
Gayle, this man is going back to Australia! You are married and have a kid! He doesn’t want you, and was not making any plans!! 😂🤣
21:40 Alan to Terry "You'll know about it if i do"...Classic corra..lol
Bette’s hair looks awful like that. Her face isn’t small to wear a short cut.
She looked her best in the early episodes when she first started. She was still a bleached blonde but she wore her hair natural and flicked out slightly at the end and she was very slim. She seemed to age quickly and the hair pieces and wigs and drag queen makeup didn't help.
Does anyone know what the tune Julian playing on the piano at 1:48:30 Heard this tune playing on the ice cream van down my street years ago.
Mozart's Piano Sonata No 16
Too.much snogging! Ridiculous story!
It’s crazy that this is the last time we see the OG Rovers
Gail is so plain and bossy I have no idea how she pulls anyone!
The way Gail later blackguards Brian's name as a cheater is unbelievable when she was the one who cheated first! There was never a mention of him cheating until after he found out about Gail and that Ian, at least not as far as I remember
If Australia is so good why are they all over here since the 90s?
Good point from Sally, tbf. How DID Kevin know Bet slept in the front bedroom??
Dearies face knew straight away 😮😊
The fire is done really well but there's poor continuity with the fire engines arriving
it's like the alan bradley show.
Rita to Emily about Alan, in the cafe. If only she could see into the future! 😬 😢
Then Alan’s confession! 😳
God the satisfaction of Ian dumping here's my nose ive lost my chin Gail at the airport was everything
Ouch...
Ha!
Hes not a very good driving instructor, she pulled away without signalling
Terry got a real beating. A time when the violence looked real. Far dues Terry deserved it.
I know it’s a soap but nobody deserves a beating like that
Wonder if Barbara and Thelma were disappointed they had no involvement in the fire story like the other residents. Rita just gave Bet some words of comfort when she was out of hospital.
Odd Barbara wasn’t involved-when Rita lives four doors away!
@@alexanderjones9572 I know. With Kev & Sal being dropped off, I’d have thought that’d be around the same time Rita would be setting out to mark the papers up at the Kabin. Unless Barbara wasn’t keen to be involved and echoed Rita’s sentiments - I can do without that sort of excitement lol.
That Rita & Bet scene by the wreckage was lovely and sad.
Bet Lynch mentioning Meryl Streep 😂
I love how Ken got himself out before calling for Dreary and Tracy.
He had to pass them in the bedroom? He could of gone back into the house. It wasn't his house on fire .
The great days had passed sadly. In my opinion Corrie was downhill all the way in 86.
I think the decline started in 1984.
@@paullynton-green6570 I think your right
@Paul Lynton-Green the decline of Corrie started during Brian Parks time as producer. Never recovered after this.
How did bet get her coat.? she was taken out in her nighty considering whole place went up in the fire
All the men fancy Gail? Lol why?
Why didnt bet go straight to the window?
Jack and Vera Fighting over Vauxhall Nova
Rita ( to Jack, about Alec.) “Still, you should get on well with him.” 😂😂🤣
Comdey Jenny always brings her memories well she does amazing job nice one Sally Ann Matthews Vera drive comedy 😮oh dear
Wish terry had flattened bully boy bradley.l hated him.
He should have done, Terry was twice his size & not afraid of bruising his knuckles .
Terry's top off ❤😂🎉😊
Gloria is nearly as boring as Ken, and as for being choosy don't make me laugh 😃
Is there an international airport in manchesrer in those days? I would have thought he would have hadto drive to Heathrow which means the scene of Gail at the airport is impossible???
Ivy is never fn happy, wants the supervisor job, but won't supervise. She needs to b demoted stat
Jack trying help kev Terry about friendship while Norman in the middle of it
Both Ivy and Audrey were both overbearing mothers and mothers in laws. Yet it was only Ivy that was accused of being controlling when Audrey for some reason wasn’t.

Wow, forgot about this explosive episode, wonder if Jacko was responsible, or did Allan have a hand in it !!!!!!
