Coronation Street - Ida is killed 1961

[Voxac100b]

I loved the slower titles and the extended music at the end the show has lost some of its Northern edge

[VOLVORULEZ1995]

@TheWhitehall Gays would be burnt at the stake if they went in too.

@VOLVORULEZ1995 Dennis Tanner was famously gay in real life in those days.

Don't Alf Roberts look young here.

[mmaconachie]

I didn't realise Alf Roberts was in it as early as 1961.

[MeBenHalpin]

@mmaconachie Yeah but he was only recurring part in the 60's and became full time cast member in the early 70's.

That was straight up harsh from the officer. "She's dead". Bham hit by car.

[pratt68]

To quote the Victoria Wood As Seen On TV parody: "That stuck-up Ida Barlow, it'll not be too long before she falls under a bus!"

[TheWhitehall]

No black or asian customers in the "Rovers" back then.

[brismike65]

Such compassion from the police officer LOL

0.38 - Alf Roberts, one of Corries longest running characters 1961-1963 and 1968-1999.

There a nice scene in the 80s when Alf Roberts mentions Ida Barlow,nice bit of reference to Corrie's past.

[h8thatcherluvblair]

No soft soap then, 'she's been killed' were the peeler's words.

Then again, back then, folk were tough.

I've never seen Alf Roberts that young.

@h8thatcherluvblair God bless Brian a very nice man.

[Shuna1001]

watch Harry Hewitt react too soon and it looks like he is giving Concepta a dirty look!

[billabongodrum]

@Shuna1001
