Coronation Street

An excellent example of kitchen sink drama from the second year of "Coronation Street". Ena and Elsie have a face off over a poison pen letter. Absolute classic stuff.

I think this may be seen as the "Real" Corrie when technically it is all 53 years of the show but I can see what you mean. The modern show is full of kids. I do like the modern show but I can easily sit back through hours of episodes made on or before 25 Dec 1987 when Hilda left which marked the end of a glory era. No surrogacy plots of people falling 7 floors off rooves and walking away lol.

Coronation Street is fucking crap. I can't believe anyone still watches it.

Also, when I look at these Early Episodes it reminds me of The CBS Show "Playhouse 90" from the early 1950's where they would have Mini Plays featuirng Jack Palance, Paul Newman, James Dean as well as the "Original" Production of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty.

You are so right on. I never thought of it that way. I remember Reading Coronation Street at War when Elsie first came to the Street at Sixteen in 1940. I've known Women like Ena Sharples and the reason why they act the way they do is because they are so bitter Her own daughter Vera Lomax had all but washed her hands of her. Could someone please explain why they call it Kitchen Sink Drama and is it true that Allan Sillitoe's Saturday Night & Sunday Morning inspied the show.
