The beauty of Coronation Street in the old days is just how ordinary it was - which made it so watchable! Working class people rubbing along and making the best of what life threw at them, with a few tears but also plenty of laughs! Sadly it lost its magic quite some time ago and today is barely watchable. Even the few stalwarts from the old days can't carry it
I completely concur. These soaps nowadays have gone all US like. Too much ridiculousness. The good old days of Corrie were the realist storylines ever.
So you might think... until they start to get a bit fancy and experimental with the camerawork... 1:24:24 Second time I've seen it in this block of episodes. Fun to see how long that will last. The camera-man in particular seems to loiter in that documentary style we're a bit more used to today.
Whoever dreamt up the concept of having a boss like Mike Baldwin, a factory and a load of bolshy women in the street... what a genius! The setting for so many brilliant story lines, so natural with so many wonderful actors... Corrie truly at its best.
1980....Ahh this was when Coronation Street was peaking, at it's very best. Great characters, great scripts. Wonderful humour. I can't help but cringe at the attempts at humour in todays show. Everything about todays show is awful compared to the quality of the 70s and early 80s. Excellent 3 hr post, thanks for that but it'll get taken down again, I don't undnerstand why. This is far better to watch.
I stopped watching this in around 84 or 85 ' tho I have intermittantly watched the occasional storyline over the past 30 years ' I can 't relate to the show now ' its so different ' no humor ' very dark and depressing.
The years from about 77 to around 82/83 were the best period from my memory ' I think when most of the original characters left was when it started to lose its appeal ' through checking old episodes on you tube ' it still seemed watchable right through the Eighties ' then come the Nineties I think it took a nose dive.
To each his own bro. This show's never had a peak in my opinion it is a soap after all. Some great characters here and there admittedly but never a consistently compelling show to watch
I think so much of it is because the society it depicted is long gone. It doesn't really work any more as an idea. The world it started with was when people rarely left the area they lived in, had no money at all, and not much to do other than gossip about their neighbours. The world is so very different now and the kind of characters we saw in episodes in the 60s, 70s and 80s don't really exist anymore. They were familiar types that every working class community had, but are long gone.
@@zeddeka Hence why the current soaps are driven by the depiction of casual psychopathy, dysfunction and militant misery,. In true chicken and egg style, that is the world the makers of such poison both reflect , and want to create. Ironically, modern Salford is a helllish mixture of these things. There are still many who don't leave their area, who don't have that much money, and their gossip is in the form of the modern soap opera tabloidism, which refracts their big-screen TV addicted, crime infested dysfunctional community back to them In that sense it is, unfortunately, realistic'. Today's Ena Sharples would be afraid to leave the house after dark in modern Salford - or even before it.

Watching 1978-1980 is so gripping despite its everyday normality compared to the current Corrie. Great acting, writing, producing and directing. It didn't depend on glam either to carry itself ❤
The rovers scenes with bet , Hilda , Fred and Annie are so funny. The lines between lynch comes out with are hilarious. You aren’t wearing any nickers - who does on a Monday they are all int wash 😂
A cast of star characters.. every scene worth watching. It cant have been easy managing all those egos. I remember the only thing I didn't like was the long wait between wednesday and monday!!!
Having watched this - and various other Corrie episodes from the late 70s and early 80s - I've come to the realisation that: A. Modern Corrie is shite, and B. Hilda was the greatest ever character...by a mile 😂
I liked Hilda, Stan and Eddie. Their antics made me laugh. Light hearted and lovable characters. Ken Barlow's storylines are depressing. Depressing bores me and The Tilsleys do my head head. Except Bert. He's quite a funny guy and puts The overbearing trouble maker that is Ivy in her place occasionally when needed. Do you know what I mean? Haha!
At 2:50:00 when Mavis is arguing with the porn dealer and he tells her all he has to do is keep her "rack well stacked..." I nearly spit out my coffee😂
Good Lord, that lorry driver Dan - all I can say is that it's a case of miscasting or the standards of attractiveness have changed an awful lot over the years! And that coat!
2:39:56 This actress was a very sudden addition to the cast - and if memory serves, she left the show just as suddenly! I think the casting director must have had a funny turn, choosing an actress who was such a dead ringer for Deirdre and Renee! There's a spooky scene when Deirdre visits the factory to talk to Mike, and she and this woman are standing face to face talking - it looks exactly like Deirdre is looking at herself in a full length mirror, they're even wearing near identical outfits!
@@Scottfree166 Lol! Exactly! You've got to see the spooky scene I mentioned in the factory, the two women in long shot, stood opposite each other wearing almost the same clothes - I do wonder if it was a private joke by the director, it looks just like Dierdre's looking in a mirror!
@@glamdolly30 wow, I haven’t found that scene yet, but will keep a look out for it. The resemblance between the two is uncanny, I noticed that straightaway. They even sound alike.
@@Scottfree166 Lol! I hadn't thought of that, you're absolutely right they do - if the writers had ever invented a sister for Deirdre, she'd have been perfect casting!
Gail plays down Pete Beale etc grabbing her and being suggestive in the cafe, but if she walked into Brian's workplace and caught a woman doing the same to Brian, she would flip her lid. Can't have it both ways Gail!
Deirdre's sarcasm and looks in this are exactly why they cast Kate Ford as the character later on, she's so rude about Tracy just doing child like things 😂
Poor Bet, every man she had something going with was repulsive in every way. Couldn't they have given her a decent guy who was also attractive, just once?
@@bsaunders5271 Yes, I think you're right, I don't think she would be contented with a decent guy, I doubt she'd be attracted in the first place. She would question the motives of someone who was caring and treated her well. It wouldn't be about him loving her, but manipulating her for his benefit and enjoyment. And that was her experience, from Mike Baldwin onwards.
Bet was a diamond with a heart of gold.every guy she got involved with was a user.if someone had truly loved her that would have had a wonderful life partner.
I think its funny when one of the characters is absent from the show, either on " holiday" or off somewhere for many reasons they always return looking like they've been to a spa & have lost Quite abit of weight! Elsie, before she left to go to Torquay was quite hefty, same with Deirdre she'd packed the weight on & was puffy faced She came back from Blanches rather svelte! You watch when anyone is about to be absent for a month or two Especially if they've become a little " beefy" & see the weight loss on their return! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
5:58 This is how CS was great back then. A dramatic scene and then saying it's cold, "have you got an electric fire" and then "where's the plug?" Bringing it down to reality, something the viewers could relate to. Who relates to it now with people being taken hostage and so on?
Watching these old Corries I always do a mental “by ‘eck/by the ‘eck” count. 😀 I’ve lived in Manchester 50 odd years and I’ve NEVER said it. Or heard it said. 😀
That womans right about getting ripped of in shops - most of the time when they ask if i want a reciept i say no but a few times for one reason or another i have taken a reciept and almost everytime when i checked it i have been over charged or stuff from the reduced section has been charged at full price - this is in the big shops like Tesco and Sainsburys etc
Hardly. They were the days of the Yorkshire Ripper. Wronguns in every generation. Sometimes people's brains go awol when they hear a few nice words. Humans are fickle like that.
Strange storyline about Len and Rita. In 1979, Len was collapsing through overwork, and Rita was very worried about him. In 1980, he's a lazy slob who Rita has walked out on. She was never a doormat in that marriage. Feminist misandry infiltrating soap storylines often made them silly.
Lol when Bett says Rita could make Len move to Accrington Made me burst out laughing The reason being i was once told a joke with the punch line of Accrington Blue Bricks Problem is, i cant remember the rest of the joke but it was extremely funny and over the years everytime i hear the place name Accrington i start laughing OK im odd but whatever makes you laugh cant be bad! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
Open your eyes its still happening to this very day all over hosptality - the days of upstairs downstairs are still alive and well just dressed up different so no one is supposed to notice though at least in the old days some of the staff had living quarters and sometimes some respect - now its easy come easy go pleanty more where you came from
Alf is worse than an old woman for spreading gossip. Asking Len if he didn't know about those magazines, when Mavis told him Louise had taken them by accident.
I still can’t understand why a feisty intelligent woman like Elsie was a complete doormat to those lorry drivers she took in as lodger’s… Sge should’ve left em on the pavement… especially that Ben Johnson character … a complete annoying jumped up prick he was.
Ken n Alf r horrible to ms.sharple to leave her out in the cold of winter homeless,then push their responsibility off on others ( hmm just like our world today)
Stan really was a horrible character, and he got worse, but I don’t remember Len being so nasty. Thankfully he got better. Funny how they didn’t mind Len giving Rita a slap, and hadn’t Stan hit both Hilda and their daughter when they came to the street, with the daughter having been in care? Changed days now, when Stan is remembered as being a lovable rogue!
2:12:26 Hilda, has no right to read that letter. Stan eating the wrong left over, cold chips.😂😂Well done Hilda for returning purse. Got a taxi my ass. 2:59:09 Renee talking to Alf like Mavis talked to her budgie. 😂😂
Good to see lens finally decided to change his ways. By going a day without getting pissed up in the rovers, instead he has a few cans of beer at home and pretends to measure up a new curtain pole to impress Rita. I'd guess by the amount that Len drinks he's nearly always over the limit when he's driving his van
I did find Rita rolled over. She couldn't manage to make a living and ve independent. Getting back with Len meant she had a jib and a house to live in. Some women just aren't self sufficient and need a bloke to take care of them. She carried on as if nothing happened and Len belted her one. Takes all sorts I guess. Rita is just a strange character in general. I respect Elsie more. She doesn't settle and she makes her own rules in her own home.
Blimey, all that fuss over an 'adult' mag 🤣But hold on, I distinctly remember The Kabin selling 'Fiesta' a few years before this, AND Mavis' curiosity getting the better of her.....

Can’t believe that Bet & Elsie are both fighting over ‘Desperate Dan’ 🤦♂️ 😂😂
Yeah he was a complete jumped up big headed part who thought waayyy too much of himself. Was glad when his character was written out…
Elsie is worth a 1000 of Dan the duck.ugly git.
It’s like that in real life. Ha ha.

This programme has a pub in it......I remember pubs they were brilliant....I wonder what happened to them...
Cheaper to drink at home :( Plus people became isolators. They stopped socialising with their neighbours, started going home straight after work and plonking themselves in front of the TV and later on, their phones.
Thanks for the upload, great Corrie episodes and '80s music playing in the Cafe.
Watching 1978-1980 is so gripping despite its everyday normality compared to the current Corrie. Great acting, writing, producing and directing. It didn't depend on glam either to carry itself ❤
It was the worst thing they did changing it to the present Coronation Street... not that I watch it, I haven't had a TV since 2012!
The rovers scenes with bet , Hilda , Fred and Annie are so funny. The lines between lynch comes out with are hilarious. You aren’t wearing any nickers - who does on a Monday they are all int wash 😂
A cast of star characters.. every scene worth watching. It cant have been easy managing all those egos. I remember the only thing I didn't like was the long wait between wednesday and monday!!!
Tv gold at it's best..thanks for keeping us entertained in yet another useless lockdown👍
Indeed.
"Awight, Tweacle!!" Pete Beale in Coronation Street makes me feel like there's been a dimensional merge.
Hilda “But you’ve only yerself to blame if I do a Rita Littlewood and walk out on yer.”
Stan “Do that and you can ‘ave the flippin’ lot.”
😂😂😂
The well spoken Mrs Taylor Brown sounds like Margaret Thatcher. Nice touch when she egged Annie on to reward Hilda for bringing her bag.
Thank you so much for the memories of what great acting n entertainment really is 😊❤
Having watched this - and various other Corrie episodes from the late 70s and early 80s - I've come to the realisation that:
A. Modern Corrie is shite, and
B. Hilda was the greatest ever character...by a mile 😂
...also, Eddie 'Onslow' Yeats was hilarious.
Corrie needs more Scousers...remember Jackie Dobbs? 😅
I liked Hilda, Stan and Eddie. Their antics made me laugh. Light hearted and lovable characters. Ken Barlow's storylines are depressing. Depressing bores me and The Tilsleys do my head head.

Brilliant show. Brilliant actors.
At 2:50:00 when Mavis is arguing with the porn dealer and he tells her all he has to do is keep her "rack well stacked..."
I nearly spit out my coffee😂
I almost wet myself when Mavis said that Bert Tinsley probably bought the porn magazine by mistake thinking it was a “Do It Yourself “ book.
😂😂😂
Mavis makes me mental! She should join a convent.
Bet and Elsie fighting over a gross man, were directing their anger at the wrong person.
Thank you for this. It's a treat.
Mrs Taylor brown who was staying with Annie walker, was in emmerdale as betty, thank you 🙏 for the old ones of coronation street I ❤them!

Omg Pete Beale! I *knew* I recognized that face! But I thought he was on Eastenders?! Was it a crossover appearance?
@@Guitargirrrl Eastenders didn't start until 1985, so this appearance in Coronation Street was five years before he was cast in EE as Pete Beale.

Bert saying "Dya know whadda mean?" in every flipping scene. Arrgghh!

Poor Bet, every man she had something going with was repulsive in every way. Couldn't they have given her a decent guy who was also attractive, just once?
She wouldn't have been able to find happiness with a decent guy. It wasn't in her character's make up.

When Ivy returned with her puffy lips, things didn’t work out too well for her.
Rita came back as she didn't have much of a future, that panic, dependent of another for any type of security. Not a great foundation.

When Corrie was great , and no kids in it trying to act.plus what does Elsie & Bet see in that creepy fella.
Mavis having a meltdown over the porno mags cracked me up.
Bet drooling over Dan Johnson is so cringe 😆 🤢
Been going long time Corrie
That lorry driver Dan doesn't half sound like Sid James and just as creepy.
That's who he sounded like !!! I was trying to place it!.All he needed was to do that laugh...
sounded sorta australian to me and i am a londoner
Sid James was better looking.
All those guys fancying Gail... yikes
And calling her Debbie Harry. No comparison what so ever.
Stan cracks me up.
Honest and all with Mrs Walkers bag.
I still can’t understand why a feisty intelligent woman like Elsie was a complete doormat to those lorry drivers she took in as lodger’s… Sge should’ve left em on the pavement… especially that Ben Johnson character … a complete annoying jumped up prick he was.

Seems like everyone in Corrie those days would have high blood alcohol levels... ALL the time!! 😂
I did find Rita rolled over. She couldn't manage to make a living and ve independent. Getting back with Len meant she had a jib and a house to live in. Some women just aren't self sufficient and need a bloke to take care of them.
She carried on as if nothing happened and Len belted her one. Takes all sorts I guess. Rita is just a strange character in general.
I respect Elsie more. She doesn't settle and she makes her own rules in her own home.
Blimey, all that fuss over an 'adult' mag 🤣But hold on, I distinctly remember The Kabin selling 'Fiesta' a few years before this, AND Mavis' curiosity getting the better of her.....
The sales rep was a sleazy, creep.
These ones were way worse than razzle i wont go into the gory details on here
Elsie working in a greasey spoon cafe, is like Sophia Loren serving in a chip shop.
