@RichardElden Whatever, you wanna be disrespectful towards dead person, then that's your look out, it wouldn't be the first time you've done it on here.
@RichardElden Your just sick in the head my friend, Pat was legend as simple as that and Coronation Street is so crap, that's why its been running for more than half century.
Looks like good tv. However I have never heard the English language spoken so fast in my entire life. Like the cadence of Spanish but with English. Very interesting

These early episodes are brilliant, so gritty and atmospheric, Ena Annie Elsie were characters you could believe in not like todays plastic folks. It was true to life then hard hitting and real love these classics, we shall not see this quality again for all the technical advancements Thank you to the poster of this classic.
@gf1001 Couldn't agree more these women were proper household names and there was defintly realism to the soap back then, just find some of the modern day stuff so hard to swallow.
new year spoilers, John kills again, Sally catches Sophie & Sian in bed together after a couple of drinks, Leanne and Nick are at it again, Tracy Barlow returns and smooches David & Nick & Sally & Tyrone Snog Eachother.. hows that for a new year ehh?
@9djm20 John killing again, is Corrie losing the plot, he's already been responsible for two deaths, why make another. Sophie and Sian storyline is fairly decent, cos its built up well. Tracy's attack was good with surprising conclusion last week, but Tyrone kissing Sally was terrible move, they should have paired Tyrone with Maria again especially as their both widowers with kids and have history together, but no they go and stick her with that other creep, who will only end up hurting her.
@storebror21 Agree 100% the theme tune years ago was slower as well and sometimes they played the longer version on the closing titles esp when something tragic happened. This is a great scene with the acting first class and touching even when they dont say anything its compelling viewing masterpiece TV even in the seventies Hilda fights with Annie Walker when Hilda spat in the Rovers I was taken aback!
@Voxac100b Yeah have that episode on dvd from 1972, where all the regulars think Stan is peeping Tom and Hilda gives them all real piece of her mind, eventually spitting on the Rovers floor before she departs and minutes later, there's phone call saying they caught the real culprit in the act, why down at number 13, the episode ends with Hilda dresseing Stan in his best suit ready for visit from the Police.
@storebror21 we don`t have such a north/south divide now do we when i used to watch corrie as a kid i thought all northerners lived entirely on tea ,fish`n`chips and pints of bitter . the journo stuart maconie said he`d become a southerner when a friend asked him where he kept his sun-dried tomatoes
Well maybe they should start showing Corrie in the states. I'm not sure that it would be a good idea to start with episode 1 in 1960: it would take them nearly 29 years just to get to the present episodes in 2010. Even if they showed an episode each day it would still take 20 years. I guess they would just have to start with the current episodes and maybe do a historical documentary.
The women absolutely rule Coronation Street, they've got such strong personalities. This clip shows just how much the men are put in the shade, they stand around not knowing what to do or say to all these women around them that they don't understand.
@Leedeesal1 She last appeared in 1980 - the actress had health problems in the 70s and reduced her role, she was already an old lady by the 60s. The actress died in 1983 but she remained a cast member - they always hoped she'd come back, however briefly.

I remember watching coronation st as a kid, ive started watching it again on free to air telly only trouble is the eps are from 2003 not that it matters im still enjoying it. here in australia the upto date eps are on pay tv.
What is amazing about this is it IS the same show that we are watching now in 2010 - the people may leave but the street itself remains. Utterly brilliant - so true to life.
However, it shows life was probably more exciting back then than now - they don't make episodes like these anymore, and I'm 17!
@thekroton Think its got bit week the last couple of years, whilst back then you had better stronger characters, who you could relate too, its still great achievement though, that its nearly 50 years.
Excellent scrips complemented by first class actors and scriptwriters. A time when each character has his/her own foibles and frailties - not the creaking & exhausted last of the summer wine parody it has become, churning out dozens of episodes of worthless tripe over and over because it has a sponsor!
It should have ended long back in the 80's on a high not staggered on as it has ;-(
brill, they don't write them like that these days Ena Sharples was a head fuck no one can deny it, even in 1960. Fustrated lack of thick cock I put it down to. Pint please Annie.
I remember the first few episodes well. Being a southerner I was fascinated by the "ee by gums" and the "well I'll go to top of our streets". All good Lancashire dialect.
It's only when you see these older episodes that you realise how bland and commonplace that Corrie has become. It could be located anywhere.
Ena Sahrples (Violet Carson) really portrays a great bit of acting here in her street battle with Elsie Tanner. Always thought of Ena as being a bit of an ol' battle-axe, but you had to love her anyway. Don't think I'd ever want to come up against her in an arguement, on or off stage. Love you Ena.
I must admit I enjoy the original Coronation Street. I had a great job as pre-screener of TV show that came into the C.B.C. in Toronto and I screened many seasons of Coronation Street.
I had such a crush on Elsie Tanner but I wasn't allowed to watch Corrie at home (my mum thought it was 'too common' !), I had to sneak off to my mates house !
Hilarious to hear Annie Walker say "mink muff", more innocent times.
It's great to see an episode of Coronation Street that doesn't have that irritating Sean character in it. I think he was based on Ena Sharples, without the hairnet.
Every street had an Ena Sharples, an Elsie Tanner and an Albert Tatlock. Cultures and races may have changed, but personalities don't. This was 'in your face' community drama.
Love some of the body language in this clip particularly Len smacking his lips on the back of his wrist "eeh thats given me eck of a thirst"and Doris Speeds "I wouldn't lower mi-self" then uses husband Jack as blamester to go outside and gawp herself-is a wonderful comic turn.But what makes it for me is that elongated pause between Len's "Let's kiss n' mek freinds...............well,--mek friends anyway" with the "Sally Army playin in the background is spine tingling!!!
To touch on the gay / homo-erotic thing,I understand how a lot people (if they are honest with themselves) feel about that sort of thing.--Whilst appreciating the extremely valuable contibutions of the likes of Sir Elton John,Frankie Howard,Sir Dirk Bogarde and indeed Tony Warren himself(all great men in my view) after 50 years of conditioning and fancying women,watching 2 blokes getting tender with each other,I have to leave the room,I'm sorry but I can't help it!! My 2 sons do the same!!
Ena's problem was that she was too judgmental, and she couldn't stop "Living In The Past" We've all done things that we're not proud of but we shouldn't spend eternity paying for it.
This episode is UNFORGETTABLE the acting is out on its own. Vi Carson and Pat pheonix BRILLIANT. This was how life really was, the writing brilliant. I have to say Coronation St now is not a patch on what it used to be. It seems bland indeferent but perhaps its the times we live in?In the 60s gritty kitchen sink dramas were Wonderful and this is one of the best examples EVER thanks for posting this classic Cat Fight.
Even though I grew up in Scotland, we all gathered for Coronation St. My Mum in Canada still gets it, but not here in America.
It was the first time play actors were not in rich mansions saying stupidity like "you bounder," but they were working class and every street had at least 3 of the characters.
As for the Poliossss they knew us all by name and our parents and Grand parents. Please Constable take me tae the jail dunna tac me hame. As your collar was pulled to your neck
I wish ONE of the American (cable, satelite, or network) would carry Coronation Street. In the states, I only can get it from a CBC station (Windsor, Ontario). Nonetheless, I find these posted classic episodes to be nostalgic for the viewers who yearn for the "yesterday". Ken Barlow looks so young in here!
This was in the days Coranation Street was Coranation Street the 60's 70's 80's and the early 90's was real coranation street but since the 2000's Coranation St. has become just another soap with endless storyline of him go with her, her go with him and nearly everyone commiting atultry murders and kidnapings, the only really good story in this decade has been Richard killman Hilman story
I agree with your comment , but as an aside, don't you think that Richard Hillman was the absolute spit of Captain Black from "Captain Scarlett" ? Da Da Da D'da Da Da Da D'da Daaah
"Dennis, take me home." Isn't it strange since her "House" is just right in front of her? Also, if I were Ena Sharples, I'd be so ashamed especially with everyone watching me including the children.
Didn't she call 'im Sonny Jim? Aye Jed worked alongside of me in't Mission boiler room for a bit - he couldn't handle the Boilerman's Crutch an' jacked in, Minnie 'ad a cat called Bobby as went missin' - actually I knocked 'im down and killed 'im wi mi push bike on me way to work but Bobby didn't die in vain - I made a Davy Crocket hat out of him for't works do as we used to 'ave in't Furnaceworker's Arms,
I've not bin too good, bin havin a lot of trouble wi 'Boilerman's Crutch'. It's an occupational hazard due to back draught from't boiler blowin Phurnacite dust through t'button flies of me boilersuit an mixin wit sweat - it gets bloody warm stokin boilers ah can tell yer an that Phurnacite's made from cement dust an coal dust an't dust is acid. It's not easy being a boilerman but I'm an artist too. Tha wants ter see me whitewash t'boiler room shithouse wi' a 6" brush - bloody work of art I make.
True brilliance.The acting,casting,directing,camera angles,everything.We in the U.K. should realise what quality TV we got.Ever watched foreign telly?
they talk the same as they do nowadays nd all haha!
this was actually rly enertaining!
its a shame coronation street has become so crap!
just hasnt got any strong characters anymore.....nd theres just a thousand pety plots that arent important tht just fizzle out after a month.....its glory days are behind it.
look at these strong women! where have all the Ena's gone? would make a good song perhaps but there is one called albert tatlock and that is class! shame len fairclough turned out to be a bit of a gary but hey
My grandmother was watching this in the 60ties. I was five years old. But i remember.

Ena's problem was that she was too judgmental, and she couldn't stop "Living In The Past" We've all done things that we're not proud of but we shouldn't spend eternity paying for it.

I watched Coronation St. since the sixties. I don't care what you think, I find the poufs offensive so I quit watching it as it made my skin crawl!

This episode is UNFORGETTABLE the acting is out on its own. Vi Carson and Pat pheonix BRILLIANT. This was how life really was, the writing brilliant. I have to say Coronation St now is not a patch on what it used to be. It seems bland indeferent but perhaps its the times we live in?In the 60s gritty kitchen sink dramas were Wonderful and this is one of the best examples EVER thanks for posting this classic Cat Fight.

Even though I grew up in Scotland, we all gathered for Coronation St. My Mum in Canada still gets it, but not here in America.
It was the first time play actors were not in rich mansions saying stupidity like "you bounder," but they were working class and every street had at least 3 of the characters.
As for the Poliossss they knew us all by name and our parents and Grand parents. Please Constable take me tae the jail dunna tac me hame. As your collar was pulled to your neck

I wish ONE of the American (cable, satelite, or network) would carry Coronation Street. In the states, I only can get it from a CBC station (Windsor, Ontario). Nonetheless, I find these posted classic episodes to be nostalgic for the viewers who yearn for the "yesterday". Ken Barlow looks so young in here!

This was in the days Coranation Street was Coranation Street the 60's 70's 80's and the early 90's was real coranation street but since the 2000's Coranation St. has become just another soap with endless storyline of him go with her, her go with him and nearly everyone commiting atultry murders and kidnapings, the only really good story in this decade has been Richard killman Hilman story

I agree with your comment , but as an aside, don't you think that Richard Hillman was the absolute spit of Captain Black from "Captain Scarlett" ? Da Da Da D'da Da Da Da D'da Daaah

"Dennis, take me home." Isn't it strange since her "House" is just right in front of her? Also, if I were Ena Sharples, I'd be so ashamed especially with everyone watching me including the children.

Pretty top notch stuff in this episode. The speed of the fight made it a little difficult on what they argued on.
Still, a pretty top notch episode overall from the drama filled pen of Adele Rose.
Wonder what other fab episodes are around!

I've not bin too good, bin havin a lot of trouble wi 'Boilerman's Crutch'. It's an occupational hazard due to back draught from't boiler blowin Phurnacite dust through t'button flies of me boilersuit an mixin wit sweat - it gets bloody warm stokin boilers ah can tell yer an that Phurnacite's made from cement dust an coal dust an't dust is acid. It's not easy being a boilerman but I'm an artist too. Tha wants ter see me whitewash t'boiler room shithouse wi' a 6" brush - bloody work of art I make.

probably because it was well written (great writers started on corrie - jim rosenthal etc)
It was well rehearsed and performed by good actors - just listen to the diction ! the speed Violet Carson goes but you can here every word.
They showed some episodes from the 60s on BBC4 - amazing stuff
