The beginning of 'Deirdre Barlow's Perm Years' ! I, for one, preferred the Deirdre with the poker straight hair....from now on it's all frizz in her future...🤣
😂 I've also been anticipating the drastic Deirdre hair changes. I cannot believe how much it ages her, the perm and then going short. Her original hair was amazing.
All of these episodes were good! Great story lines & plots Bett on the run, Alf on deaths door Deirdre in the corridors of power Terry doing the dirty on his mate Gail is heading for a breakdown Ken is becoming creepier & more sinister week by week All good powerful stories Great acting & so convincing Plus the blast from the past Hairstyles we all thought were so cool & trendy just look tatty nowadays I used to have big hair in the late 80s & it took some maintainance i can tell you! Also the big shoulders, power business suits, chunky jewellery Kitten heel court shoes... ! It all looks so dated now but i love hearing the snatches of music from that era, there were some classic songs back then. Loving these episodes & thank god there arent any Mave the Rave & Droopy Derek moments Im so sick of those two & they've been done to death now! Like a Thrice used teabag! Id just like, for once to see Mave gets whisked off her feet by some lusty chap & to show her what passion is! Thank you Prof Gun 66, you have made so many old Corrie fans blissfully happy Regards 🇬🇧👧
I remember those days too, what always stands out to me is the plastic beads and earrings to match the colour of any outfit! Modern revivals of 80s fashion never includes plastic beads 😂 I remember when I realised the best way to wear pointy shoes is to buy them a size too large so your toes aren’t crushed. Happy days 😊
The only reason people know about, Mavis and Derek, is because Rita has got a big mouth. When it comes to her private life, she wants Mavis to be discreet.
Rita seems to think she's a grown up person who has a proper life and can be taken seriously, and Mavis, her 'best friend', is naive, prudish and a bit of a joke she can amuse herself with. I've always found their relationship very unequal and unpleasant, Rita laughs at Mavis and encourages other people to do the same.
Audrey had the bare faced cheek to blame Deirdre for Alf’s heart attack when it’s clearly his poor lifestyle that’s the culprit. The stress of having to work harder to fund his wife’s expensive tastes with little help from her probably hasn’t helped either. Ivy is right about Audrey. She’s toxic just like Gail.
@@cherylreid-panasiewicz6485 same. I don't really remember her from this time, I only remember her from around the mid to late 90's and they did a great spin on making believe she was as distant from the rotten bastard she really was 😂
@@MarcoNegrisEye When she arrived on the street she was originally painted as a "fur coat and no knickers" type. I really didn't like how she acted all high and mighty at Deirdre's funeral and then made a play for Ken.
Ken 1000% started the issues with Alf. Alf asked many times for him to stop, Ken refused. Alf finally defended himself and in turn Derdrie went after him guns blazing. Then AGAIN Alf asked for peace and they shoved it up his nose. Now Ken has the guts to be outraged that Audrey told them how it is?!? I can’t take them, I hope they get what they deserve
Terry is still hurt from Andrea Clayton doing a runner and not having contact with his child. We start to see a more sinister and villainous Terry from here on...
Sadly I agree. As soon as he ran off with that Linda it's the end of Terry as we knew him. Such a shame, he was a great character, in a loveable rogue sort of way.
the guy Pete with Terry and curly. Did he go on to play Gary mallet in coronation street in 1997 . who was married to Judy mallet whom they have twins children.
Years ago I got put up temporarily in the university accommodation as a stop gap when I worked in the kitchen there. When I got a new home away from the site it was a relief!
@@alexanderjones9572 They didn’t use it for the Rovers fire or when Alan attacked Rita! I remember in the ‘90s there was a Baywatch or Beverly Hills 90210 style sequence with Vicky trying on outfits in a clothes shop while Steve waited impatiently. Then I think they used Bryan Ferry’s Let’s Stick Together when Emily was driving round with Percy! Strange 😂
Sounded like something from a horror movie! The producers and director probably seen it after it was broadcast and thought ‘na, we won’t be doing that again!’
I really like the part when Terry @ Curly, worked in the garage with looking 4 body parts @ selling 🧽 cleaning supplies door 2 door. Those day’s were funny. 😅 😂They we’re a hilarious 🤣 team together.😂😂
Audrey wasn't fair to Deirdre and to her credit I think she realized it while talking to Rita. Alfs lifestyle had a lot more to do with this than the election. And if it wasn't Deirdre it would have been the labor candidate. Or the shop. Or etc.
Deirdre's election programme encapsulated in her speech to Alf: Hot Air and more Hot Air shouted even louder ... acclaimed by all the other gas bags from the factory!
Mavis, a strong head for drink? At the Barlow twins 21st in ‘86, she told Ken more than two drinks and she gets tiddly! She got hilariously kayli’d round Rita’s at Christmas in ‘87 too!
Eddie Yates' rhubarb wine sticks in mind too. I'm still convinced that's why "rhubarb wine" was a bit of a story during the Royle Family Christmas special with the new sofa. Talk about long term storytelling 😂
Kaylied. Apparently it derives from kali, the sugar colored crystals, similar to sherbet. So to be kaylied is to be like a child on too much sugar, drunk and silly.
Alec Gilroy is a SHARK. He’s been after the pub and Bet. I don’t think he counted on her doing a runner because the scriptwriters didn’t either! However, it’s obvious that Alec is relentless and will do what he needs to do in order to get what he wants. He knew Bet was not able to afford the tenancy. Great actor is Roy Barraclough.
I know it's bad to say, but I quite enjoyed Audrey tearing a strip off Deirdre 😂 justified, even if it's just for us having to endure her, Sally and Emily singing during the election campaign 😆
Hilda told Percy and Phyllis that her and Tom were going to Rhyl for a week, it was thriving back in the 80s I had lots of happy memories going to rhyl, but it’s not thriving anymore
It's hard to have much sympathy for Alf. He gets himself so worked over matters unless they are going his way. Also, when you take his extreme weight problem into consideration it is surprising that he never got ill sooner.
Very poor knowledge of election procedure in this episode. If you have lost an election by only 7 votes, you are given an automatic recount (perhaps several). And why didn't Alf or the Labour candidate ask for one? Also, election counts are not held in poky backstreet community centres with no parking outside. They are held in big venues like leisure centres or civic centres. And all the wards in the borough are counted in the same place not every ward counted in a different place.
No, she disappears to Spain as it was getting too much for her running the pub. He goes eventually to try to find her and brings her back but realizes that she can only be in the pub if he marries her as he tooknover the tenancy, also it was to save her image.
Yes. She disappeared to Spain as running the pub was too overwhelming. Alec goes to find her and brings her back but he's taken over tenancy so he proposes so she can live in the pub too to help run it as his wife.
They must have been desperate for ‘fillers’ to have the character ‘Sam’ in ….what a waste of time …also couldn’t act his way out of a carrier bag ….🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️😳
Terry is such a disgusting piece of work. You can see it in his eyes too that he is a bad person with a filthy mind. Very unlikable character who is quite out of place in that show, at least as it was in the eighties anyway.
I love these older episodes...the characters are likeable and it's full of humour. 👍
Terry heavy breathing whilst talking shit2 slut Pete's wife makes me feel proper sick.
Agree with you there. Such a pleasure to watch.
A bit rich talking to Deidre about housing considering she wanted Alf to jump the housing queue for her and Tracey after Ray left.
Good memory!
Ken's voice through those speakers..."VOTE DEIRDRE BARLOW", sounds even more robotic than usual, like he is trying to brainwash the nation! 🤣
😂 you're too late for 1984 Ken
👍😂😂😂😂
Ken Barlow is as interesting as a sack full of hair!! I can't stand him.
I know, snotty and smarmy. Like a very boring Dalek.
Eerily foreshadowing the stupid 1998 Free the Weather field one campaign that was took WAY too seriously by naive fools
Why is Terry so taken with Linda? She’s such a miserable moo. He fancied that Andrea too and she was most unpalatable.
I'm struggling to think of any other female in the soap who actually does have a pleasant disposition he could go for to be fair 😂
He seems to just like women that have men already (bar Andrea)
Terry’s horrible
He’s vile, he always wants what his mates have and he takes it
That music wasn't needed with Alf's heart attack......... It was bad enough
Didn't you hear the doctor? It was only "some sort of heart attack" 😂😂
it was so weird, I wondered what was going on
The beginning of 'Deirdre Barlow's Perm Years' ! I, for one, preferred the Deirdre with the poker straight hair....from now on it's all frizz in her future...🤣
the 80s was the decade of perms
Deirdre had lovely hair until the perms started 🙄
She ruined her hair.
😂 I've also been anticipating the drastic Deirdre hair changes. I cannot believe how much it ages her, the perm and then going short. Her original hair was amazing.
Gail looked years younger with a fringe. Deirdre is very frumpy in these episodes too.
All of these episodes were good!
Great story lines & plots
Bett on the run,
Alf on deaths door
Deirdre in the corridors of power
Terry doing the dirty on his mate
Gail is heading for a breakdown
Ken is becoming creepier & more sinister week by week
All good powerful stories
Great acting & so convincing
Plus the blast from the past
Hairstyles we all thought were so cool & trendy just look tatty nowadays
I used to have big hair in the late 80s & it took some maintainance i can tell you!
Also the big shoulders, power business suits, chunky jewellery
Kitten heel court shoes... !
It all looks so dated now but i love hearing the snatches of music from that era, there were some classic songs back then.
Loving these episodes & thank god there arent any Mave the Rave & Droopy Derek moments
Im so sick of those two & they've been done to death now! Like a
Thrice used teabag!
Id just like, for once to see Mave gets whisked off her feet by some lusty chap & to show her what passion is!

Has Traceyluv entered her tape listening epoch by this stage?
God bless hilda xxx
Audrey was right when she called Ken smarmy!
Glad someone realized he's two faced as well
Suppose if he had Alfs money she would have thought different. Horrible woman.

Gobby Deirdre ... flat shoes, specs and a perm ... what a stunner.
Man magnet.
Deirdre is very frumpy in these episodes. Adds years to her.
She's still pretty
You can see those rosettes from outer space 😂
And Terry ends up causing the death of Ian Mercer’s next character ( Gary Mallet’s) wife.
Thanks for the spoiler.

Yep- all Andrea’s fault how he changed. ( never liked her myself).
@@alexanderjones9572 The Clayton's didn't fit in and were rubbish!
Realistic tho, those kind of things can cripple even the strongest people...
He was so gorgeous!
the guy Pete with Terry and curly. Did he go on to play Gary mallet in coronation street in 1997 . who was married to Judy mallet whom they have twins children.
He's as thick as two short planks ... every woman's dream .... not!
Yep 😊
Cause he did, r u blind or thick?
Years ago I got put up temporarily in the university accommodation as a stop gap when I worked in the kitchen there.
When I got a new home away from the site it was a relief!
The incidental music for Alf’s heart attack!
For me, this is where the flavour of Corrie drastically changes. The Terry/Linda thing felt so.... different from usual. It knocked me a bit sick. 😂
The eerie music as Alf gets carted out was so naff!
Wonder why they did it? They’ve never done it for a (possible) impending death before.
@@alexanderjones9572 They didn’t use it for the Rovers fire or when Alan attacked Rita!

Yeah a bit out of context but it was the 80s after all.

@@zanducktv2398They also used some futuristic music one time some kids running in slo-mo like Steve Austin. I think it was Stan Ogden chasing them.

@ means 'at' not 'and'. And text speak isn't needed anymore (4 body parts, door 2 door) they don't charge per letter on RUclips 😉😂
I wish Gloria would put some decent conditioner on her hair to tame that frizz, it's getting worse everyday
It is the season of dreadful hair!
1:06:15 it's Nurse Maggie Balton from Heartbeat
Why on earth would they add that stupid music when Alf was carried out?!
That Terry is some nasty piece of work. Doesn't care about anyone but himself.
He really is a vile character.
Cant stand the terry duckworth character, hes sneaky, always up to trouble, no morals, sleezy & always looking for an easy way to get a $ !
I think Mavis and curly had a beautiful friendship and they should have expanded that a bit more
How predictable! Curly turns up and catches those two in a clinch!!
Vote for Dreary Barlow!
all the dreariest are politicians tho 😂
Much better than dreary Ken🤣
Ty from NZ luv it
Audrey wasn't fair to Deirdre and to her credit I think she realized it while talking to Rita. Alfs lifestyle had a lot more to do with this than the election. And if it wasn't Deirdre it would have been the labor candidate. Or the shop. Or etc.
I thought I recognised Pete's wife Linda, it's Kazia Pelka who was also in Brookside.
Kazaa polka was also the district nurse in heartbeat.
@@maureencurry4276 she was!
Yes and she got on my wick in all of them.fast forward>
Mavis is definitely on the spectrum.
Definitely, slightly autistic.
Retarded 😅
Deirdre's election programme encapsulated in her speech to Alf: Hot Air and more Hot Air shouted even louder ... acclaimed by all the other gas bags from the factory!
Terry is looking more and more like his onscreen father by the year
Does anyone but Terry call Alec ‘Alex’? I mean ok, his full name is Alexander Gilroy, but...
He annoyed me calling Tyrone 'T'rone'. It's pronounced Tie-rone 😡
i've noticed he does tend to flex his vocabulary, such as the terms he uses for jack; dad, father, pater.
Jim McDonald used to call him Sandy, which was quite typical of a NI abbreviation for Alexander. So it is.
The scene after alf keeled over with the music was hilarious
Mavis, a strong head for drink? At the Barlow twins 21st in ‘86, she told Ken more than two drinks and she gets tiddly! She got hilariously kayli’d round Rita’s at Christmas in ‘87 too!

Can’t get alcoholic Audrey away from the pub!
Why would anyone want to ruin a steak pie with kidney!? 🤮🤮🤮
A classic UK dish. Not fan of it myself though.
It's the kidney.
Good thing Emily didnt have childern with that comment ( only a broken leg )
Does Linda ever change her clothes?
Barlow family🥱🥱
I know it's bad to say, but I quite enjoyed Audrey tearing a strip off Deirdre 😂 justified, even if it's just for us having to endure her, Sally and Emily singing during the election campaign 😆
Who is the female looking from the window when Alf is wheeled out of #11? My only guess is that it is Tracy?
Yes, Traceyluv.
Hilda told Percy and Phyllis that her and Tom were going to Rhyl for a week, it was thriving back in the 80s I had lots of happy memories going to rhyl, but it’s not thriving anymore
Susan's toy-town feminism is so tiresome...
Where was Gail for the whole heart attack drama.
It's hard to have much sympathy for Alf. He gets himself so worked over matters unless they are going his way. Also, when you take his extreme weight problem into consideration it is surprising that he never got ill sooner.
Kazia Pelka from Heatbeat!
Sally has a lot of nice clothes considering they claim poverty.
Ye gods I detest Ken Barlow. he fries my ead
Is that Tracy looking out the window at alf getting taken away 1:35:54
I love it when Terry Duckworth talks sexy.
The 🇺🇸 Presidential election was only 20 days ago, so this Deidre election storyline is bringing on some PTSD 😂

All the unlikely eventualities in this soap by this time and you focus on this 😂
he was too busy having a pre heart attack
I think Nigel was dating Kazia in real life at this time..
Pete was brilliant as Ian was brilliant I haven't got a clue what happened to Gary he was funny and Pete SU garden
'Chip Pan' 1 month old lard....Mum the chips tasted ACE!!
I can't believe bet wd disappear like this wth? Does Alac have her locked in a basement or something
No, she disappears to Spain as it was getting too much for her running the pub. He goes eventually to try to find her and brings her back but realizes that she can only be in the pub if he marries her as he tooknover the tenancy, also it was to save her image.
Linda is hardly a siren; in reality, Terry would be with an older woman with money...he's the type.
If she wasn't with his mate she wouldn't appeal to him. Its probably the excitement if having someone you shouldn't have
A strange object 🛸
Smary husband. That’s Ken 😂
Kevin eating with his yob-gob open ...
Funny Pete 58:49 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Tweed Dum 59:16 SU garden
Ironic that Brian Mosley would die aged only 67 from a heart attack after a few years of heart problems and an earlier heart attack.
Deirdre, Susan and Emily, coming in from shaking strangers’ hands all morning and eating sandwiches without washing their hands! 🤢
Is Bette not coming back?
Yes. She disappeared to Spain as running the pub was too overwhelming. Alec goes to find her and brings her back but he's taken over tenancy so he proposes so she can live in the pub too to help run it as his wife.
Hope she doesn't!
Bravo Audrey
a very accomplished doctor: 'he does seem to have had some sort of heart attack'
Wow Bette has been gone for a while!
Oh poor alf.
