Coronation Street Episode - Friday 30 April 1993 (Part 3 of 3)

*THIS IS THE CLASSIC WATERBED EPISODE!*
Alf refuses to sell up the Corner Shop, feeling Audrey only wants to spend his money. Reg feels that Maud will always stop him and Maureen from consummating their love. He tells Maureen they'll take the afternoon off and spend it in his flat. Percy spruces himself up to be with Olive Clarke. He tells her she's a handsome woman. Phyllis accuses Olive of chasing Percy because his picture was in the magazine. The McDonalds celebrate when Richard Willmore accepts them as trainee managers. Jack is sickened. Derek sets about refitting the stockroom light. Mavis feels he'll electrocute himself. Derek is puzzled when water drips through his drill hole. Hanif is pleased when Denise lets him kiss her. The Wiltons realise the water is coming from Reg's flat and fears he might be ill and have left the bath running. They rush to the flat and bang on the door. Reg and Maureen are stopped from making love and Maureen is caught up in the bed as the water gushes out of it. Reg is furious to discover Derek has drilled into the water bed. Doug has no rent for the Duckworths, telling them he's got a car deal on and they'll have the rent soon. Maureen feels humiliated and refuses to have anything to do with Reg anymore.

I reckon the one where Reg bought his wig was even funnier. Corrie lost its innocence when they killed off Derek-...it'd be like them now bumping off Roy Cropper.

The Reg Street Talk cassette released in 1995, along with three others featuring Rita, Raquel and the Duckworths is a very entertaining listen, full of his pearls of wisdom lol! You might find one knocking about on amazon or Ebay.

"You burst this thing....you and your friend and your...activity!" Priceless!

When the cast members featured discussed this storyline on retro Corrie programmes, Ken Morley revealed that he snook a wedge of smelly cheese under the duvet before the take, just to liven things up a bit! Sherrie Hewson also revealed he dropped his towel! Supremely silly, love it! Think Ken also said in a Corrie book that a waterbed owner's worst nightmare is that the bed'll burst while they're having sex! They had to have the set in a tank cos they couldn't get water on the studio floor.

This is truly classic corrie episode Reg Holdsworth was a great character it was a sad day when Reg left the street.

Its a shame how Coronation street has lost its element of comedy over the years it used have such great strong characters in it that had such great humor to them as well a serious side its certainly not as enjoyable to watch as it used to be in my eyes

the characters in it today are crap and the story lines are really poor.

It's Derek who says idiot not Reg. He says "This is where the water's from Mavis. This idiot's waterbed!"
