April 1990: the crucial month of beginnings and endings. Goodbye Harriet! Plus last view of the original Kabin, as Rita blows a kiss to all the old times in there. The start of handsome Dave Beckett's and the lovely Anne Kirkbride's real-life romance. And the last episodes my Corrie fan Dad ever saw, he died before end of the month, April 1990. Thank you for adding these.
Awww big hugs and sorry for your loss. I only started watching it by chance one day. I was searching on YT and I found an episode from the 1970s and I started watching them. I know this might sound daft but they made me feel safe and reminded me of mum as she was a massive corrie fan and I only occasionally seen it in the 80s and 90s. I got hooked and I smile when I watch it because if she could see me now she would not believe it!
The cracks are starting to show in Wendy and Ken’s relationship and I’m glad sally got her own back on Steph and doesn’t Deirdre have a relationship with Dave? Oh I’m so glad these videos are uploaded thank you so much…
I enjoyed seeing self righteous Ken getting a good thumping from Baldwin and treated as a pariah by the street. He was always an arrogant patronising condescending character.
I started watching at Jan 1978 a few months ago. I've all but abandoned all my subscriptions. Seeing Ken getting roughed up by Baldwin was superb ... then cut screen to Diedre and Dave kissing 👌Thanks for uploading.
How awful is Ken. How dare he have a go at Deirdre - she’s a latch key kid because he pissed off. He also encouraged D to become a councillor. He’s just awful. And where were his children? Dumped in Scotland as soon as their mother died.
He is the king of gaslighters, in present time story line he is being drugged and conned by his carer and I keep saying he is getting everything he deserves, karma reaches us all (this is totally not like me 😂) but knowing it's all fiction I can feel free to say it serves you right Ken 😂
Sorry Ken but you are wrong, she did not kill the marriage. All she did was try and get a wee bit of life outside the house, something you pushed her into. He is such a sanctimonious pompous git and he lost any "right on his side" when he blamed her for the failure of the marriage, what a fud. Goodness if my maw could see me now she would be laughing her head off ;-).
@Helen McLaughlan - that’s it, that’s enough for me. Despite the surname, ‘wee’, ‘fud’ and ‘maw’ have me convinced you’re a fellow Scottish lassie 😂 I didn’t need to be detective ‘Hercules Parrot’ as HIlda once said 😉
@@irenemorley75 cringe. Is that a serious comeback on a comment that has nothing to do with you. Embarrassing 🤣 Is there special tv for boys and girls in your world?
Ohhh, Ken at 21.40 ...supercilious bugger, how dare he...I've never wanted to slap him so much as then, if I'd been Deirdre I'd have physically shoved him out the door 😡
Love Jacks motorbike hobby/passion. Percy, hibernating. 😂Bang out of order what Barlow did to Curly regarding the car. Mike Baldwin owed Barlow what he gave him, after Barlow walked into Mikes office at the old factory and hit him.
Fine, he has a soft spot for her, but why does he continuously hit on her every 5 minutes after he's had a few? Hasn't he learned his lesson yet? And doesn't Rita deserve not to be subjected to his crappy advances?
What a sanctimonious sod Ken Barlow is. Announcing how he’s not going to pursue the chip pan fire (but not for Deidre’s sake) He was the one who cheated on her, moved in with another woman & wrecked their marriage entirely. How magnanimous of him to say it’s for Tracy’s sake & not for the ex wife he cheated on & knowing full well that she’s a good mother.
Sally and Kevin really do my blooming head in, all they seem to do is shout at one another and her voice really grates on you. I see Mavis and Derek are as dithery as always, my god you would think she was burying more than a budgie!
Sally's voice cuts through me like a knife, I swear I get a headache every time she is on screen. And her accent is neither here nor there, she has such bizarre pronunciations. God help me when she gives birth to "Rer-zeh"
I love Vera going into bat for Curly. Ken should have used some profit from the car to pay for the repairs. He was paid more than he originally wanted for the car. I haven’t finished watching the entire month yet. Am waiting to see what transpires. There’s no good will on Barrow’s part yet. He sold a bung car and doesn’t give a damn.
Ken sold his car to Curly as a private seller to a private buyer sold as seen and that's exactly what it means. No comeback to the seller. If it goes wrong afterwards that's the buyers problem.
Coronation street in this era was an escape, light hearted, jacks story about the budgie 😂😂😂😂😂😂 nowadays corrie is too much like real life i get its issues of now they are addressing but real life is depressing enough without the soaps being depressing too.
Im sure the heating & plumber who put out the fire at Deirdres is her real life husband I remember he wasn't in it long But Anne Kirkbride did marry him Regards 🇬🇧👧
You have to feel sad for Martin's kid trapped inside Gail while she's constantly nagging, moaning and generally unpleasant, all's normal there then. Jack's motorbike rebuild story looked promising but the writers gave up on it. Plus it's weird seeing Mike and Ken on a sort of a reset. Now they are just in line with everyone else although it is fun watching Ken spinning slowly down the plughole. Massive continuity error at the beginning as Rita tells Emily that Harriet died even though she knows it already. 4:10:58 Gail is so discusting! 4:29:45 Wow! "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
Totally agree, Gail is an arse. Does she ever smile or is the Chinless Wonder just there to moan and nag all the time. She has a face that would turn milk sour. Ken is also even more sanctimonious and pompous than ever. Nice to see him coming down a peg or two.
Percy, the old bastard, is forever quoting the rules to other folk, and without proper authority, taking it upon himself to enforce the rules. Yet, for whatever reason, he doesn't think the rules apply to him.
I think in the background there is the old Agecroft Power Station in Pendlebury, Manchester. It was demolished in 1993, to be replaced by HMP Forest Bank.
I know I thought it was a two bedroom house? Why can’t Kevin sleep in the spare room!!!!! Because when Hilda and Stan had the house they had a lodger Eddie Yates
Oh Kevin Webster had to sleep on the couch aye. And all because of Des Barnes and his wife Steph Barnes and that crazy thing shaving off Kevin's mustache. Well it did need to come off sooner rather than later didn't it.
Apart from Emily there isnt a single person who i care about. The pub scenes are more realistic but watching young people drinking and behaving badly is not entertainment. This era has no gravitas. The older cast are getting swamped by the mediocrity of the new. Or maybe i'm just a miserable old git, in which case i apologise.
A wonderful episode yet again. I didn't know David was almost aborted.. Ken needed another roughing up. Vera big mouth oh my gosh she irritates one. Lol thanks Eve.
Watching Ken now, omw what a self scented self important poor me, and when help is offered he even throws that back in ones face.. what an idiot, Wendy actually isn't too bad and has her head screwed on.Ken is a miserable git.
Kevin without the Mario brothers moustache is dreamy, now I can see he has those strong, thick eyebrows I love on a man 😊 I'm happy for Sally ❤ I also like Martin, he's handsome too. Curly is handsome and nice when not whingeing
I am loving these, spending far to much time watching when I really should be doing stuff. They are addictive.
@autumnleaf8411 be careful, it takes over your life lol! Glad you’re enjoying them! 😉
Same😂
omygoodness i just wanted to see if a particular actor was in this show and that was about 300 episodes ago lol 😅
I've been watching every episode since Jan 1977!
Put off going to lunch this morning.phone run ou t of battery tea time so went market to get orange juice

Argghg the sweaters of the 80s and 90s. I still have panic attacks when I see acrylic😂

Thank you.
One of Curlys best mates is a mechanic the first thing he would have done before buying the car would be to get his mate to look at the car first
the downfall of Barlow is joyous to behold
Richly deserved.
But if it was the woman who had an affair that would be ok......
@@colinjennings3661 not in my opinion
I love it. Never like the patronising self righteous Barlow.
@@stormhawk3319 I loved it when the newspaper guy wouldn't help him keep his job. He was so smug and patronizing, thinking he was getting his job back
Ugggggghhh, a shirtless Ken Barlow. Why? Why? Whyyyyyy? I can’t unsee it.
I'm going to therapy....
@@philstrachan😂
What a nostalgic little goldmine! Thank you for taking the trouble to put all these together 👍😉💙
So true 🎉
The highlight at the moment is Sally getting revenge 🤣
Ken is abusive person who wants total CONTROL of everything .
His ideas for the paper were also crap
Thanks for the uploads ..❤
Ken is such a plank everyone elses fault except him
He is such a sanctimonious twat.

Ken is such a caring parent and he's never taken careof ANYof his kids ( Plank )
Lol..lol!!
Dont know why ken gota give derdrie money every week for her brat, not even his bio kid
Ken seizing the opportunity to use the fire to shift the blame to Deidre, for the break down of their marriage, was well out of order.
Constantly gaslighting
Additive... can't put down a good novel...loving a good British soapy 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Vera shouting after Ken and Wendy in Wendy's street. I was hoping for some curtain twitchers😂
Oh my God. Ken Barlow. From being the founding member of "the beige brigade" to being shirtless. All the sex appeal of a moth sitting on a cowpat.
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Anne Kirkbride really did have a models figure. She was quite slender in these years and perhaps tall too?
She is still tall and slender as per This is Your Life
@@hollandwawasan1221she was in her older years yesterday not sure if you are away the actress sadly passed away some years ago
Ewww@46:32 ffs Stop it! Is it not enough these two have the same hair style..now we have to endure the bare chested Ken😧
Your comment made me laugh out loud!😂 brilliant!!😂😂 Then I seen the actual scene and I think I vomited a little in my mouth!🤮🤮🤮
😂
Should have come with a warning. You can see hestrying to hold his stomach in.
@@philstrachan Dont we all 😉 😂
@@Joes45 🙄🤪🍻👍
Deirdre's hair ...what in the world?😂
Yeah, its like Ronald MacDonald style.
Deidre the Perminator
It’s over processed ,that’s why it’s frizzy . I much prefer it how she had it before .
Perms like that didn't come cheap back then. Looks LOVELY to me!
It's a distractingly bad hair helmet. I cannot fathom how anyone thinks it looks good.
Jenny Bradley has to be one of the most unbearable characters ever brought to the street.
I totally agree. Bradley and brennan.
And the worst part is although l don't watch it anymore she's still there.still can't stand her.
And she still is!
Maybe you would be better off watching a man's film or something🤭🙄
@@irenemorley75 cringe. Is that a serious comeback on a comment that has nothing to do with you. Embarrassing 🤣
Is there special tv for boys and girls in your world?
I think Jenny buys her clothes, at the same place Rita buys her newspaper bags.
Fashion at the time haha
Good old Vera having a pop at Barlow !!
The Barns were horrible characters
They're like a pair of randy ferrets.
I didn't mind Des on his own so much, but Steph ...
I honestly hate them!!!😡😡
She went on to be a hollwood star and win awards, i liked crazy steph
What did she do in Hollywood
Good Lord I love our little swampduck Vera ❤
Barlow Got His Arse Kicked By Baldwin, He Took Out Barlow Like A Prize Fighter 🥊🥊
It's a bit off letting Tracy go off in Decorator Dave's car....at this stage Dierdre doesn't know him from Adam.
Was thinking the same thing
Sign of those times. We wouldn’t dare allow it now.
Ken wearing his customary Bank Holiday weekend sweater/jumper/jersey over his smug shoulders
Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
Ohhh, Ken at 21.40 ...supercilious bugger, how dare he...I've never wanted to slap him so much as then, if I'd been Deirdre I'd have physically shoved him out the door 😡
And such a smarmy git when he scammed Curly and then tried to justify it to Kevin 😠. He’s insufferable.
God so love the light relief built in by the Duckworths ..it’s wonderful 😂
I'm laughing at how all the men's mistakes - Reg Holdsworth, Ken Barlow - seem to be the fault of women.....
Love Jacks motorbike hobby/passion. Percy, hibernating. 😂Bang out of order what Barlow did to Curly regarding the car. Mike Baldwin owed Barlow what he gave him, after Barlow walked into Mikes office at the old factory and hit him.
There's no way Mike Baldwin's punches would've resulted in those cuts and bruises 😂
Alf has such a soft spot for Rita ☺️x Love the new Cabin x
Fine, he has a soft spot for her, but why does he continuously hit on her every 5 minutes after he's had a few? Hasn't he learned his lesson yet? And doesn't Rita deserve not to be subjected to his crappy advances?
Ken sure is sulking a lot. He caused his own misfortune. watched some more. Ken is really having a bad month. +_+
He's a pompous prat - and such a hypocrite.
Looks good on him.
Everyone ganging up on Ken 😂 love it
Ken getting a satisfying dose of karma. I'm enjoying that. But even that doesn't make up for the Barnes couple. They're thoroughly ghastly.
I still haven't recovered from the last episode, where it appeared Kev had to make his own tea! What next?
Des grew on me .... but I never liked Steph.
@@daniellerobinson6771 Des grows like mold.
I loved both of the Barnes'! :D

Ken Barlow can be nasty when he wants to be fretening curly I think 🤔 Vera should go and sort that Ken out lol 😂

Him look like Serbian Doctor 😂

Why on earth did they keep ken barlow in the series SO long? He cant act to save his life and was and is SO boring😔
He must know where a few bodies are buried.
Agree and he was constantly touching his mouth and face with his hands. Bad acting indeed.
@@paulinekirkham7945 having characters the public don't like is part of an interesting series. It's the contrast of personalities that make the show.
Disliking or liking the characters is not the issue it's the level of acting that imo wasn't very good,
It’s because he had a good head of hair.

Aw god where did that jenny come from taught seen last of her 😮😮😮
The guy who went into the fire was I think, Anna Kirkbride's boyfriend at the time or maybe husband.
Yes became her Hubby

Rita always looks so elegant..love her clothes..

3:06 does anyone know where the filming location is?
I think in the background there is the old Agecroft Power Station in Pendlebury, Manchester. It was demolished in 1993, to be replaced by HMP Forest Bank.
Sally had told Jenny that she could stop over, they had an extra bedroom, a few months back. Why couldn't Kevin sleep in the extra bedroom?
