One of the legends lost , but not forgotten. He played the character remarkably well. Stemming back in the 70’s till his departure he was a solid performer.
It enhanced it for me (yes,I know it’s EastEnders- but it’s usually used for deaths of popular characters. I’ve also seen it used for Ashley Thomas and Val Pollard in Emmerdale).
What a moving scene with legendary Johnny Briggs and William Roache. Mike & Ken always hated each other. This was so great with them together. R I P Johnny, what an outstanding actor
i love how ken describes mike on the phone as a friend of his despite all the shit that has flown between them over the years. mike and ken were friends.
Kelly Randall I also saw it used for Ashley Thomas's death and Val Pollard's death in Emmerdale. To me, it made them more moving. Probably won't be long before someone uses it for Hassan Nazir's death, and it'd still be appropriate.
I come from London and I reckon coronation street is better than EastEnders all that misery. but believe me you northerners up there we are not miserable like EastEnders. EastEnders is a waste. of time it’s. full. of bullshit. and they should have scrapped. the bloody. programme. years ago.
@@dlamiss Yeah. People and their families suffer for years. Not in Corrie. Give him pneumonia. Still alive? Give him a heart attack. And just to make sure why not have a tram run over him as well.
😔🌹🥀🥺🙏R I P Johnny Briggs ,Heartbreaking watching this episode as Mike Baldwin ,Left me heartbroken watching this hard to believe he passed away in 2021 🙏🥺🥀🌹
Not to miss the point, but it’s odd how Ken says “Let’s get you inside” and starts leading Mike to Underworld instead of no 1. Anyone else notice the direction they’re headed?
I went to Florida in 1998 when I was 6 to do Disneyland. Was an avid corrie watcher at the time. I saw Mike Baldwin in a restaurant and was so excited I thought I would burst. It was all I talked about for months afterwards.
A moving, well acted scene, partly ruined by music which must have either been written by the composer of EastEnders unfortunately, or someone with no original talent - it's almost identical! All that's missing are the drums. This was from the days when it was still worth watching. I don't waste my time anymore on Corrie.
@@mirandawinstead6540 I don't blame her, the writing is spectacularly trash now with all these cheap lazy retcons like Tyrone's real mother, Toyah having a baby, not to mention turning all the older women like Gail into clowns.
My mum died of dementia, it's the cruellest way to lose someone. By the end all that was left was skin and bone, all she could do was eat, drink and sleep. The nursing home did a wonderful job with her, God only knows how I'd have coped without them. Rest In Peace Mum, I love you and miss you.
I can very much relate. My mother is at the non verbal skin and bones stage with Alzhimers and it breaks my heart. Like your mother I can't fault the care she is getting.
@@samyates3789 it's very rare that in there final moments there memory restores temporarily it's different with people some can remember people, others can only remember basic functions or revert back to thinking there kids.

Hello Deidre love it's Mike he tripped over a Hedgehog. O Ken for God sake man I'm watching you on TV ringing me. But Deidre love i wanted to try out my new phone. O Ken love I will do tea bagging for you. Thanks Deidre I be right over
Extraordinary scene. But most profoundly of all. Is what it reminds us about.. No matter whats happened. Were all human family. And should allways respond to those suffering or dying, with help. Dignified. With respect and wisdom. Or with true love. 😊
Its strange how your drawn to some characters more than others, as good as this was It didnt move me, but I watched Jack duckworths departure yesterday and the tears were streaming down my face. Te good old days of corrie.
Mike in a state mike said Barlow factory closed he always got a key in his pocket mike said he what’s Tracy mike is going to died ken call the ambulance ken look at Rita and ken shook his head

Back in the day when Coronation Street was worth watching! Pity about the music spoiling the scene

As I recall they started out as good friends.
Shame his last words were gloating to Ken...it’d have been better if he’d said something nice.
That’s like asking Gordon Ramsay not to swear
I know, but it wouldn't have been what they were like if he wasn't laughing at Ken
That's what it's like with Alzheimer's and dementia sometimes.
Exactly they may remember the people there speaking to but others they can freak out
That's when Coronation Street died for me, anyway! All went downhill after that!
The Eastenders themed ruined it

@@alexanderjones9572 some people in the intro weren't even in the show until later
Can't imagine why they thought that would be a good idea.

@@davidwinson2319 A word from.the North don't worry, never thought you could be as miserable as those halibut faced wretches.
very very sad johnny briggs has sadly died coronation street was not the same when mike was killed off.
Ken took care of Mike because he was a gentleman. Period.
Better then Danny ever did.
No because Ken won he got the bird and Mike didn't
And it made him the better person.
Ken took care of Mike because Ken is a human being
Ken and Mike ended up like best friends in the end. I'm so glad their final scene together was done this way 😢
Johnny Briggs played the alzheimers storyline so well
it was too rushed
@@rick182z spot on
@@dlamiss Yeah. People and their families suffer for years. Not in Corrie. Give him pneumonia. Still alive? Give him a heart attack. And just to make sure why not have a tram run over him as well.
@@chrisparkes2179 😂 even a tram wouldn't kill him but dying in ken's arms made it more saf
MICHAEL BALDWIN/JOHNNY BRIGGS and KEN BARLOW/WILLIAM ROACHE’S finest moment
Johnny briggs aka mike baldwin was one of the best english actors ever for me.
Certainly one of the best actors ever on corrie.
RIP johnny.
Rubbish.
Probably most iconic, moving, fitting scenes in all British soap history. I guess being born early enough to remember helps
Brilliant scene, goodbye to a Corrie legend
If this was filmed today the ambulance would turn up 12hours later.
Ken would have also passed away from hyperthermia 😂
Stupid adding the julias theme
😔🌹🥀🥺🙏R I P Johnny Briggs ,Heartbreaking watching this episode as Mike Baldwin ,Left me heartbroken watching this hard to believe he passed away in 2021 🙏🥺🥀🌹
Bless him, asking for Alma, I really feel sorry for him
Tragic. RIP Johnny
No hiding place, he started out in
A very moving scene-a shame that Ken and Mike never really buried the hatchet,and became friends though.
Not to miss the point, but it’s odd how Ken says “Let’s get you inside” and starts leading Mike to Underworld instead of no 1. Anyone else notice the direction they’re headed?
I love how the sad music playing is Eastenders sad tune!!!!
Rip Johnny Briggs 2021 ❤️
I went to Florida in 1998 when I was 6 to do Disneyland. Was an avid corrie watcher at the time. I saw Mike Baldwin in a restaurant and was so excited I thought I would burst. It was all I talked about for months afterwards.
Ok..who thought it would be a good idea to add the Eastenders theme tune to this? 🤦♀️
This was sad! I remember it so well
Julia 's theme shoud be used for just Eastenders.
A moving, well acted scene, partly ruined by music which must have either been written by the composer of EastEnders unfortunately, or someone with no original talent - it's almost identical! All that's missing are the drums. This was from the days when it was still worth watching. I don't waste my time anymore on Corrie.
It was edited with the music for the video.
Rest in peace to a legend
Bye Johnny. Say hi to Mike for me 💐
The Opening Sequence looks so much like a Promo for a U S Soap. He was quite a legend.
Wow old Mike acted his socks off.
Yeah, that is his job, he's getting paid..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔🙄
Those last lines ‘you’re finished, Barlow! Deirdre loves me - I’ are deep tho
Fantastic acting by Johnny Briggs 👍
Why was they playing the theme tune to Eastenders at the end of a Corranation Street episode 😐 ???
Corrie 2040: Gail dies in Eileen's arms, hissing "you're finished, Grimshaw, Todd's secret is out..."
No Gail can never die if she did coronation Street would die
. It's the same for Ken
Gail Alzheimer's story could form a part of the shows 80th anniversary 🤗
Apparently Helen doesn't think it's worth it anymore 😢😢

Miss you mike Baulwin/ Johnny Briggs
Deserved it for sacking Hayley Cropper
Mike was quality
Why are they playing the Eastenders theme tune??? 😆
My mum died of dementia, it's the cruellest way to lose someone.
By the end all that was left was skin and bone, all she could do was eat, drink and sleep.

Why the Eastenders theam at the end when its Coronation street?? Lol 😆

The scene took a surreal turn with the Eastenders theme tune. 😆😆
When Corrie was worth watching.
He was a better Mosquito pilot.
Still gets to me..... 😢
Good actor Jonny, don't watch the street anymore, because he's not in it
R.I.P Johnny Briggs
Rip Jonny Briggs
The feck is a Julius theme? Do you mean Julia’s Theme from EastEnders?
Extraordinary scene. But most profoundly of all. Is what it reminds us about.. No matter whats happened. Were all human family. And should allways respond to those suffering or dying, with help. Dignified. With respect and wisdom. Or with true love.
😊
God this is awful. I wouldn't watch Coronation Street if you paid me. I watched it religiously up to 1998, after that I couldn't stomach it anymore.
Get lost
He has passaway in really life rip Mr.
Back in the days when you could phone an ambulance and one would turn up on the same day.
When it wouldn't be selling fruit and veg.
Badger McSpoon Blame mass immigration from the diseased third world.
And now he's died for real
Mike Baldwin legend
RIP Johnny Briggs 😣🙏
Great acting
RIP Johnny Briggs
Should have played the original version of the theme tune not the dreadful copy in use today.
Lol what a load of bollocks.
All the shit these 2 went through and still friends reminds me of peggy and pat as well similar ways
Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease.
I just hope (as I'm sure everyone does) I don't go that way when my time comes...
I ever find out I have summat like that, I'll off myself first, before my brain gives out on me. It's horrible.
@@youngdolo8 me too
I saw my mother suffer with it and the toll it took on my father
I'll check out if I am ever diagnosed with it
Was the music added to the UA-cam upload? It seems very out of place.
Rip
Its emotional to watch.
Its strange how your drawn to some characters more than others, as good as this was It didnt move me, but I watched Jack duckworths departure yesterday and the tears were streaming down my face. Te good old days of corrie.
That's when coronation street was good
Rip Mike/Jonny Briggs.
one of the sadest ones ive ever seen, i keep missing all my soaps
EastEnders theme really wtf
Who is holding him at the very end?
Yes, who? Looks like a dark haired younger man.
It's Bradley Walsh who played Mike's son. It's missing a bit where he came over and took Mike's body 😢
And people's say you actually watch that shite to me all the time great acting from Briggs and roach
Mike in a state mike said Barlow factory closed he always got a key in his pocket mike said he what’s Tracy mike is going to died ken call the ambulance ken look at Rita and ken shook his head
Why on earth has it got the Eastenders theme tune playing with a slight moderation
Why are they playing an Eastenders tune in Corrie?
Funny how he dies with ken
Well it allows him to deliver those sad,deluded final lines😥🎩
RIP Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin) :(
Look the theme
Isnt Julias Theme EastEnders? 😬
What I thought julius theme was eastenders only
Sounded bit like eastenders music
Music sounds bit like eastenders
R. I. P JOHNNY
Hated the way Mike got treated by Danny in the end. That was shitty.
He was a c**t till the end always tormenting ken
SC shouldnt of TOOK EE theme gggrrrr same with EE strylines GET YOUR OWN CS
tracey marsh what you on about?
I have NO idea.
You realise this is edited, right? If that's what you're referring to.
Cries*
Ken Barlow an gentleman
When corrie was worth watching
I always keep my keys ... In my pockkkkkeett! lol he was a brilliant actor.
and that idiotic tune ?
It could only be Ken to see mike out😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Pure Ham.
Mike wanting Alma is heartbreaking. So heartbreaking.

Anyone remember the great Johnny Briggs as the window cleaner in on the buses?
dedicate this clip to Johnny Briggs/Mike Baldwin
