  • I was a few days past my eigth birthday when this first aired. Haven't seen Coronation Street for better than thirty odd years, yet I remembered most all of these characters by name upon viewing this. Sorry, I'd forgotten about Linda (Tanner). Me Mum was born and raised right close to what would have been Coronation Street, so as you might imagine she never missed a show until she passed away in '72. The folk in this show were almost like family to us.

  • ... and from 7:24 to 9:13 Violet Carson's lines are brilliantly delivered and define the whole series. "Where're you being buried?" LOL.

  • One of the things I like about Corrie is the job reality. I've known people who've had to have two jobs to makes ends meet. Sean works at Underworld AND the Rovers. You don't see to much of that realism on this side of the pond. Everyone's rich or knows someone who is.

  • @duncann Oh, cool! THANKS! 

  • @MrsWLeach They are the white gowns that church ministers and choirboys etc. wear in church.

  • What are Surpluses?

  • MissBrookeAdams is CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back Ena and Elsie and the rest of the cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At least the 'ams not off! (like the modern episodes!)

  • even this is mor entrertaining then the stories they do now

  • And no doubt, once you have your bay window, etc, you start looking down on where you came from, start equipping your children with faux-posh accents that get them battered every time they go to Wythenshawe to visit Grandma (hear the voice of experience?) I think it's something the middle class revolutionaries always failed to grasp: the passionate longing of so many working-class ppl to be 'respectable', to have that bay window and all it stands for.

  • @shakeafisttwice Really, your dissertation? Brilliant! As to gender relations, the women steal this show entirely. There is plenty to go on. This is my own family background: however, my parents became "very bay-windowed" by moving to a private house, not council, and it does have a bay window! The street is half private and half council and true enough, the council houses don't have them.

  • @littleniyah A Brass companion set is a small shovel,a poker and a brush used with a coal fire

  • Fascinating especially viewing Ena without a hairnet on!
