Coronation Street 1979 pt 1

[soulandmotown]

Us lot in Bolton, still speak like this especially when Albert repeats the word 'daft' in one sentence! LOL

[azshaw123]

Awesome upload my friend!

[0AndyC0]

The characters in those days all looked, dressed, acted and spoke like genuine working class people. The insides of the houses all looked like real working class homes. These days everyone in Corrie (supposedly set in one of the most deprived areas of Britain) looks like they've had a designer makeover.

@0AndyC0 Ya know I'm pretty sure working class people decorate there homes to lol

Annie Walker was one of the few people who could be posh with a northern accent.

[podfunk]

Mrs Walker getting positively Nietzschean in this clip.

[barnbersonol]

[greasygloves]

Bet Lynch rules!

[TheBryan61383]

@greasygloves Yeah she was great in Coronation Street

[mistofoles]

Notice how few camera-cuts there are compared to today!

[Kevinasp]

The godlen days of Coronation Street were between 1964 and 1983.

[NikkiClo]

i wish they would repeat the old episodes again on ITV 2 or some channel like that!

[TheBryan61383]

@NikkiClo Yeah it would be great to see them all agian

[MsFanmail]

bring back hilda ogden

[unclemort1960]

@MsFanmail she was asked to return but refused saying the show is now crap

[mistofoles]

@unclemort1960 Well, to be fair, she has a point!

[MeBenHalpin]

Classic episode.

[6foxy6roxy6]

great classic corrie love Jean Alexander aka Hidla Ogden!!!!

[MeBenHalpin]

@6foxy6roxy6 Me too one of Corrie's greatest creations, none of the modern day Street actors/actresses come anywhere near as good as Hilda Ogden.

[MrBuckley123]

[radiodj1520]

[tirayi]

i cried and cried and cried when Hilda left. Imagine that.

a little boy.

great script this one. Mrs Walker. Dont have personalities like that anymore.

[MeBenHalpin]

@tirayi You and im sure 25/26 millions viewers who watched that episode in Christmas 87 still the highest watched episode apparantly, and Hilda was also my mum's all time favourite Corrie character, they don't make creations like her anymore and Annie Walker was great too, they were all part of that great golden era of the Street that i so sadly missed being born early 80's.

[mickeyh1961]

Was the greatest soap ever, it had everything Drama comedy and entertainment like no other. Sadly the present format has left a lot to be desired, too limited and depressing. Pity as it was an institution in British culture.

[LiamBerryTea]

@mickeyh1961 So amazingly true x

God Bless

[MeBenHalpin]

@mickeyh1961 This was defintly the best era of Corrie 70's/80's, with characters like Hilda Ogden,Annie Walker etc, who were legends in their own rights, the Street of the 21st century and its characters will get no where these sort of women in terms of class.

[NikkiClo]

Twiggy!

[TheBryan61383]

@NikkiClo Yes it sure is from the royal family

[MeBenHalpin]

@NikkiClo Yeah he was called Eddie Yeats in Corrie though.
