You never get lonely with this to watch - its like going back in time and visiting old friends and remembering when the world was nice and simple and straight forward
It hurts me to think back as I used to shop in the same corner shop as Jean Alexander and I don't think they are aware and I am about to demand a blue plaque. The cigarette machine was massive Automat machine in stainless steel with 2 half crown slots 200 yards on the road from Noggin Inn now disembursed due 😳 to lack of cash and good 🏍 motorcycles.
I can't watch Coronation Street now, it's not the same as it was when I watched it growing up in the 1970's and 1980's. I miss the characters and the humour.
thank you so much roderigodetriano for up loading all those priceless episodes of coronation when it was at it best and when you could call coronation street a street to watch now like the street today. incidentally I don't watch anymore due bad episodes and bad actors.
This is classic Corrie from the golden era of British TV. They don't make it like this any more. The real thing is almost as funny as Buggernation Street. RIP to those who are no longer with us.
Whenever I see Mavis and Vera I think of Les Dennis and Dustin Gee and their impersonations of these 2 iconic characters. Tony Warren wrote really strong characters when he came up with the idea for Coronation Street and the show gave birth to drama.
Yep they were great, Mavis was the only good impression Les Dennis could do, his partner Dustin Gee was light years better and carried Les, who was never funny after Gee's death. Incidentally neither Mavis nor Vera were Tony Warren characters, both started on the show yonks after his involvement had ended. Think it's fair to say Vera was pretty much Liz Dawn playing herself, Thelma Barlow was (is) quite different to Mavis though.
It's always had an element of edutainment - whether it was portraying sexual harassment of women (like it did with storylines involving Bet or Deidre in the 70s), rising violent crime like it did in the the 70s and 80s (such as when Hilda was attacked), or the problems many people had in the 80s with unemployment benefits, such as when Burt Tilsley got caught doing odd jobs while claiming unemployment benefits. The difference these days is that all soaps are struggling, because the kind of world they used to depict no longer exists. So they have become increasingly far fetched.
Coronation street before it became the big pile of shit it is today. Great storylines and brilliant characters and above all a sense of humour . Today everyone sits around looking miserable and depressed or angry 🥺😫😠
@@michellefalleur960the problem they're struggling with is the same with all soaps nowadays. The more time has passed, the less like reality the soaps became, because the type of world they depicted no longer existed. By the mid 1980s, coronation street was getting huge criticism for being totally unrealistic because it depicted an overly nostalgic, fuzzy depiction of working class life when the reality in the 80s was a lot grittier. Viewers turned over to EastEnders in droves at the time because it was seen as more realistically showing the 80s. You see a bit later in the 80s the storylines on coronation street getting harder - like when Hilda was attacked and hospitalised.
@@zeddeka Absolutely true, and it's arguable that Corrie was already becoming quite unrealistic in the 1960s, such was the pace of social change in that decade. By the 1970s most of the urban cobbled streets with back to back terraced houses had been bulldozed in the slum clearance programmes, and replaced by tower blocks and new estates. I don't think the premise of the whole street going down the local pub multiple times per day, working around the corner, and just waltzing into each others' houses every 5 minutes was very realistic by the 1960s and 70s either. The burning national issues of the time like miners strikes, 3 day week, mass unemployment, IRA bombing campaigns, all of them were touched on by Corrie scripts either very lightly or not at all, whereas of course they impacted on real life working people very much indeed, this is another aspect of the "nostalgic, fuzzy" criticism.
Emily says she wouldn't want to work in the office again where Earnest was killed...but it doesn't seem to stop her wandering in and out of it on many other occasions!
Poor Hilda but Stan has a point. What else have fellas got but their privacy. But it does remind me of mum wanting a couch and dad embarrassing her in the shop - terrible. But Stan doesn't want ot control Hilda - he just wants to keep his dignity.
@@zeddeka Yes your right - having said that things are going back the way these days - here in Glasgow its a weekly occurance for me to see people running out of shops with armfulls or baskets full of goods and it seems nothing can be done about it
I haven't properly watched Corrie for about 10 year's,the new stuff is horrible, forced comedy, woke storylines and bad acting, 80s Corrie was the best, followed by 90s EastEnders, Emmerdale has always been tripe
@@tinterlight nowt wrong with woke? Showing your ignorance. Unless you agree that white children and black children should be taught in different classrooms? Because that's what I've seen woke people say. Or chasing a black politician down the street wearing a monkey mask just because he has a different opinion? Cos that's what a bunch of woke protesters did recently. Or gay people like me being called homophobic slurs because we don't want to date trans men? There's NOTHING good about 'woke'

Stan and Hilda and Eddie 3 of the best 👌
Great entertainment Hilda was priceless Thanks for uploading you are giving a lot of joy to many

I agree, comedy with a touch of reality pathos...thank you!
Hilda was iconic and a fantastic actress.
Was Hilda an actress? Wow, I never new that!

i was 12 when this was broadcast. i remember this like it was yesterday
I watched this as a child. Now re-watching as an adult. It really gives you a different perspective. I feel ao sorry for old Stan. Hilda also.

£4 extra in their paypackets, Wow !! - and it was such a big deal ! .. how lovely.
Put In context in 1982 i was earning £65 a week and my rent was £19.
Elec bill was 30 a quarter . So 4 quid was a big deal.
@@Mitch-Hendren yes, that's exactly what I said, I just think it was really endearing, but I know it was a big deal, that's what I said

£4 in 1982 was equivalent to about £14 todays money - from the inflation calculator
When they could do whole episodes about a new couch. Real entertaining.
This is Coronation street
Nothing beats these golden years.
I adore Hilda and Stan.
A partnership made in heaven. Eddie added to the wonder.
Mavis and Emily are 2 trembling bundles of nerves.
Love Hilda and Stan's Charles and Di commemorative plate.
Elsie had the perfect comment for every situation. Thank you for posting these older Corrie gems.
Mavis and Emily with their tomato juices 😂🙄
Great upload!!!!
Yes remember this being on Granada plus awesome channel back in the day!!!
Lovely! The days when Corrie was amusing and dealt with daily happenings - before it decided to become edutainment

Too true, well said. They should look at all these older episodes, and get some brilliant inspiration. It's rubbish what they churn out now.

3 days a week 59 quid back then good money.
U do a rally good job on here keep up there good work on here keep up there good work on here
Hilda and vera duckworth were my favourite characters.
I remember this so well.
Emily says she wouldn't want to work in the office again where Earnest was killed...but it doesn't seem to stop her wandering in and out of it on many other occasions!
Mike has no glass in his office walls. Some stage manager thought that millions wouldn’t notice.
The sets were quite dated and wobbly for the 1980s. It wasn't until the 90s when the sets on corrie were more realistic
1:00:25 That's Brian Capron aka Richard "Tricky Dickie" Hillman before he went to Grange Hill to play Hoppy Hopwood.
"She said you were a no-good bladder o' lard and by gum she were right!" - always cracks me up hahaha
Hilda to Stan: "You great fat useless puddin'". Ah, Romeo and Juliet forty years on.
Stan and Eddie were great weren't they.
Back in the day when corro was good. Now its not worth the electricity to watch it.
Stan looks so handsome in his suit. HIlda does treat him very poorly at times.
Marks of time snd gracious living.
Still watching 2022
2024 baby
Poor Hilda but Stan has a point. What else have fellas got but their privacy. But it does remind me of mum wanting a couch and dad embarrassing her in the shop - terrible. But Stan doesn't want ot control Hilda - he just wants to keep his dignity.
Mike Baldwin in his platform shoes - trying to be taller.
Window shopping used to be fun - now a days its metal shutters or the good stuff is taken out the window at night
You can blame the crime wave that started in the 60s and went up and up until the 90s. Remember all the ram raiding that went on in the early 90s?
@@zeddeka Yes your right - having said that things are going back the way these days - here in Glasgow its a weekly occurance for me to see people running out of shops with armfulls or baskets full of goods and it seems nothing can be done about it
50p for a tomato juice in 1982 Manchester?!!.....thats extortionate!!....
She had two othem, 25p each
Emily and Mavis two utter bores
Can't see any reason why the Granada front cap is removed.
That woman's had more disappointments than a damp match.
Poor Stan so upset that he hurt HIlda's feelings.
So that's where milk bars come from that we have here in oz.
Eee, Marion aka Stardust Lil, the girl who stole Eddie Yates' heart.
Stan built that hatch, but he doesn’t have a saw. 😂🤣
Why does this flower woman wear high neck blouses, and button her shirt up to the neck?! Reminds me of Emily. 😂🤣
Why in blazes in he sawing the other legs off??! 😂🤣
Check out them heels on Baldwin’s shoes😮😂
Mavis is only 55 years old, here. She looks like she’s 70!!
We have milk bars here in oz too hilda.
The narrator at the start had a lovely voice, wonder who he was
Bring back women like this to Corrie. The likes of them have bern replaced by non descript teenagers.
There was a big real life s*x scandal around the actor who played Len Fairclough.
Aurnty Wainwright
Mike’s shoes!! 😂🤣
Scary the social worker is Richard Hillman!
That makes sense
Is that Richard Hillman at 1 hour?
In real life Mike Baldwin was actually taller than wilt chamberlain - Mike was 7'3"
Patrick was quite a dandy.
6 foot 3, 14 stone and blue eyes, i`m Bet Gilroys wet dream..
Haha, she would have been all over you, the actress and all 😂
Why would a newspaper stand sell chair legs??! 😂
Oh Sharon.
Mike's fancy woman looks like Mrs McClusky's sister.
Bette’s bands make her look like she’s in the second grade. 😂🤣
Fat Eddie broke the chair. Yeah, after years of HIM sitting in it!! 😂🤣
Pure comedy and tragedy.
Eddie isn't half cheeky.
Was that Richard Hillman?
Did Hilda ever get a colour TV permanently after she ended up renting one for a day to see the royal wedding in 1981?
What was that thing in Eddie’s bag?? It looks like dirt.
Why didn’t these women just read their payslips?
Been out of work for a year??! 😂🤣
Would have been nice to tell us what year this was filmed!
May 1982
Richard Hillman before he was Richard Hillman
Else just didnt fit in that factory
I think that Mike Baldwin looks rather like Kirk Douglas.
I wonder what “HP” means?
They make brown sauce. Hire Purchase
Hilda is hot
mike baldwin in that leather black jacket is hot.
Percy sugden is hotter, a real studmuffin

When Corrie was a good watch, now it's sensationalist nonsense
No one had any muscle tone in the 70’s. And very lank hair.
Look at Else Tanner’s hair. Nothing lank about that. And we were all slim in the 1970s, not obese like young people today.
Who is the chap stood on the corner by the toilets when Bet Lynch touches Mr Ogden's arm? He looks like an extra frozen to the spot!
