Days before the internet and mobile phones 24 hour television 7days a week and no political correctness and humourless people the world has become a horrible place and it’s got itself in a right mess I’d give anything to go back to the days when life was so much more simple and cctv surveillance was only in banks pay phones were on every corner and a takeaway was an Indian or a Chinese takeaway and smoking was something most people did before the nanny state took over and stopped all smoking in pubs and advertising on billboards! We now live in total fear and are controlled by our phones and cctv..what a mess! I would go back to these days tomorrow I wish I could wake up and be back in the 80s with my entire family still alive because it’s true you really don’t know what uv got til it’s gone. Living in a bed sit alone and friendless at 51 life really sucks x sorry if I sound a moaning miserable old sod I’m just that way out on this Sunday night x hope you are well my friend best wishes x jase
awww thanks Tim that was really sweet of you pal I wish I could tell you everything was better but I lost my partner of 16 years just after I posted that which has knocked the stuffing out of me mate. im trying to be positive and im looking for somewhere else to live so its a start.

3:07:00 - Jack and Vera Duckworth stood a few feet apart, before they knew they would soon be made into one of the most legendary married couples of the street.
I know eh? We saw Jack as an extra at the dart board, etc. Who would have known then they'd become the most iconic couple ever on Corrie. I cried buckets when they died.
Weren't you shocked when you saw her again after all those years? I was, I mean Blanche was a very vibrant woman and she just shrunk to a tiny little old lady. Comedy gold
Love Gail's yellow top. I was so born in the wrong era. So grateful for these episodes, I never thought I wd get to see the original Cori's. This is such an amazing treat. Thank you so very much
Still trying to learn everyone's names, everytime curlers the cleaner goes near a machine I cringe. I hope she gets caught before she gets hurt. Can't believe how tiny Rita was, and it's nice to see who her first husband was, and finally get to c who Ms Walker is oh and to see who Tracy's dad was. Thank you so much
Deirdre stamping about and shouting, Ray yelling back and the poor wee baby playing Tracy so distressed. Deirdre was such a moaner, she made everything so difficult... she should have married Albert!
I saw the queen and prince philip up close during the Silver Jubilee in Canada. I was a waitress where they held the royal banquet and my table was right in front of the Duke. He came in the kitchen to talk to us, he was lovely.
Thanks so much for these 70s Gems.. particularly touching for me was Annie asking Fred to use Jacks bowling woods.. it may be me but felt the sentiments were genuine.,
Doris Speed lied about her age...she said she was born in 1915, which would have made her 62 in these episodes! How did anyone fall for that! She was actually 78, and left the show in distress when her real date of birth was revealed, a few years later.
33:51 The christening vows about baby Tracy being raised to "fight against evil and follow Christ" were clearly wasted on her - jailed for her boyfriend's murder before she was 30, lol!
Gosh, the days when you could get the doctor around for "feeling a bit poorly". The only time a doctor would call today, would be to certify you were dead.
I had the doctor call at my house a couple of years ago when I did my back and couldn't get out of bed. She came in less than an hour and gave me a good dose of painkiller so I could actually get up. Excellent service and scarcely more expensive than a normal consultation.
I remember these episodes, I was only 8 years old but my granny had this on the telly every episode. Emmerdale Farm was the same, both programmes were good wholesome communities with raw edge living...brilliant actors and scriptwriters...we have garbage now 😢
She is, and she's entitled and ignorant if she believes she can have no commitment to God or the church and still get her kid baptised. Why should the vicar christen 'our Tracey' if that's going to be the extent of her and Ray's attendance at his church? It didn't do her much good, she grew up to do Satan's work in the end, including bludgeoning her boyfriend to death.
I never realised how pretty Bett Lynch was. When I was younger I saw her as a comical, middle aged, tarty barmaid. Now I see her as a lovely young woman. With her hair pulled back as Britannia she's stunning.
Mrs Walker is actually sewing with a needle and thread but Fred is miming, ie pretending. This is very odd because Fred is in the foreground where it matters....You can clearing see it in this segment. clip....3:51:28
Hilda said that it doesnt feel like 25 years since The Coronation. It was only 24 years, as The Coronation was in 1953. The Silver Jubilee was in 1977, because The Queen had ruled since 1952. I watched this as a 15 year old, with more of an interest in the other " God save the Queen ", which was banned from being shown on TV .
@@bsaunders5271 in real life Doris Speed (Annie Walker) smoked, Doris maybe thought she was out of shot? and I expect with the old TV screens it might not have been seen on the broadcast, because a small part of the picture use to get lost I think.
Wonderful nostalgia ' I actually remember the episode where ena has her accident ' and Ray and Deirdre come home and find the back door window broken and Deidre breaks down momentarily before they know the full story ' then see Ena waking up in hospital in the next episode ' was 10 years old.
I hadn't remembered what an unpleasant character Ernie Bishop was. Short tempered, obsessive, snappy, and quite a bully. I can't see anything in him that Emily would like!
The irony of Rita playing queen bitch to Hilda from 45:45, when by the end of these episodes it’s Rita who’s reduced to tears by her husband, not Hilda.
I swear, between taking the dog in and ruining Elsie’s dress and entering her in the Glamorous Granny contest, it’s a wonder Elsie didn’t kill Suzie in her sleep. What a godawful character. I’m glad she isn’t on as long as Gail.
Suzy was an enfant terrible, looked glam and grown up, but behaved like a spoilt six-year-old. Back in 1977, I was approaching my teens and thought she was so "cool". How wrong I was, she's just unbearable.
"I don't like being referred to as 'Hey' Mr Tatlock, especially out of licencing hours. I have to put up with quite enough vulgar familiarity when we're open."
That's seriously creepy. Looks like a child's shadow. Not very tall. There is another odd moment in an episode around this time where a book moves on a shelf That's not all that's odd in this scene. Where did Stan go? You never heard the door open yet he just vanished!
You might find you were always happier on your own pal? Don't let anything missing in your life be filled with something you're "supposed" to have. Be happy.
Lovely couple . There marriage was weak during the first 3 years but then became a very strong marriage in early 1980 when they reconciled they could have had so many years together if he hadn't have been killed
@michellefalleur960 Rita seems to think she's married into aristocracy and treats everyone like something she's trod in on her shoe. She gossips about everyone and spreads it like butter, but gets annoyed when anyone talks about her and behaves like queen Bee, plus her attitude to the Ogdens is disgusting, just like everyone else. She's a third rate singer on the club scene and a jumped up shop girl, in a crummy side street newsagents.
1977 when you could just ring for a doctor to come round to see you when all that was the matter was a bad cold… Those were the days no wonder the NHS has gone to pot
I'm 39 and can just about remember a doctor (and he was a family doctor for decades) coming out to the home in exceptional circumstances too. I'd say it would have been the late 80's maybe when I last remember it happening.
People over here complaining about the doctor not coming to see them in their homes. Meanwhile my own Grandmother gets the benefit since shes housebound due to illness (Pneumonia driven Chronic Fatigue). Doctors have priorities, if you worry about your health, dont be lazy and actually go out to see your doctor, its not hard. Privileges man.
Just think, in a few years, that Ivy will be going to Mike, asking for a loan of 500 quid. He gives it to her!!! But, she never quits slagging him off, to anybody who will listen. Years later, she goes to him for a reference, when he would've been well within his rights to tell her to go, you know, and he gives it to her. Then, she goes on to give him nothing but grief.
Annie Walker is worried about The Spanish Armada 'coming back' across the Channel in 1977, & our lack of readiness for it as a nation......... fast forward to 2021 & we have hundreds of illegal immigrants pouring into our country by the day, unchecked, in rubber dinghies! How poor Annie would despair for her beloved country if she were still alive. Very sad really, especially when she makes reference to her love for everything English in these episodes. Another world watching this lovely show from just 44 years ago. 😢
I would go back to 1977 in a heartbeat if it were possible.and if you watch George and Mildred his mother says how I feel .....I'm not long for this world ...1977 ♥️🇬🇧

So since when has Vera duckworth been a granny in 1977? Secondly, Bill Webster? Is he Bill Webster in 1977 or has another name? He's a decorator for the brewery 😂
My memory isn't what it used to be, I had to look up Arthur Stokes as I couldn't place him. Of course, he was Seth Armstrong in Emmerdale. Unbelievably, he's only 46 here.
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying watching these old corries. It's great to see a young, normal acting Gail before she became a mother and turned all weird and almost creepy. And Blanche looks amazing! I've always loved how bitchy and sarcastic she was, so was funny to see that she's always been a Deirdre's partner hater 🤣. I still really dislike Annie Walker though. 🐲
Im sure Jack & Vera's son Terry got his girlfriend pregnant at some point! They didnt get married & i think Terry did a runner down to London Lol ive just surprised myself by remembering Terry Duckworths Actors name..Nigel Pivarro! How the heck did i remember that?? So odd because Terry wasnt in the show very often, he was a real flyboy! Even Jack looked good compared to his son! Im sure that was how Vera qualified as a Glam Gran! I doubt the Corrie writers would have made a mistake with such eagle earred Corrie fans! Ive watched some of these old Corrie episodes all day long & i cant get enough of them Ive never been so entertained In a very long time as i have today & the coming days as ive saved all the past episodes for the next full 7 days, watching 15hrs per day.. in fact it will take me 2.5 weeks to watch it all. Im in clover! Happy as a Sandboy or girl even! The actors look so young! All gone now.. sadly i think only Ken Barlow is going.. boring old Ken. Lol I just adore these characters & brilliant acting, superb scripts & storylines!! I stopped watching Corrie when the Battersbys came in to it There was just something that went " off" from that time onwards! Judging by the many comments on these old episodes, so many people say the last 18yrs or so have been rubbish compared to the really old, first episodes in Black & white & these ones from the full 1970s & 80s & mid 90s Oh those days with Ena, Minnie Cauldwell & Martha Longhurst! With their 3 milk stouts!! Harry & Concepta Hewitt & daughter Lucille Dennis Tanner, even Hilda & Stans gorgeous daughter Sandra Who... i think married Ken Barlows younger brother!! Crikey im really showing my age but not my memory! Its still sharp after all these years Oh who remembers Annie Walkers son? Wasnt he called John? Ah well im getting back to my viewing.. Thank you in bucketfulls for these episodes Regards 🇬🇧👧
Great scene when Len threw the young lad out. My mates dad was the same - I’d been in his house after a night out and he smashed the kitchen up. Wife crying hysterically. Volatile times the 70’s and 80’s..

VERY well said, these were the best days of the Street. / Love the rapport between Mavis and Rita , after she'd had to stay in a " crumby hotel " !
It wouldn't make a difference. Television, media and film are completely manipulated with types with an "agenda" shall we say?

Little did we know that Blanche would go on to be a Corrie legend. Her future standout performance at Peter Barlow's AA meeting is a comedy classic.

Every one should watch this for the economic history.
Was just thinking that .
Laughing my head off, at the scene with Bet and Alf, Alfs facial expressions 😆
Hilarious
With friends like Len and Rita, who needs enemies?
Seeing Deirdre in these episodes explains an awful lot about Tracy.
Anyone else think Annie looks like a theatre queen but Ena actually looks the part?
"Get me off this lorry before I turn into a pumpkin 🎃!" Fabulous lines. 🥰
Thanks so much for these 70s Gems.. particularly touching for me was Annie asking Fred to use Jacks bowling woods.. it may be me but felt the sentiments were genuine.,
Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch) is now, in 2022, two years older than Doris Speed (Annie Walker) was in these episodes.

All of Blanche and Ray's scenes are comedy gold.

Wow, Episode 1710: Emily with her hair down, Albert with his glasses off, Ernest with a beard, all kinds of style changes with the characters!
I'm quite surprised that the holy water didn't sizzle when Tracey was being Christened . 😆
😂😂😂 Rumours abound that the Church used is now a place of Satanic worship.
Given who her father was, the raffish lout, and how acid tongued her gran was, it wasn't any surprise Tracy became the little harridan she did.
My thoughts exactly 🤣
Or that she started screaming when near church
Omen music........... Tracey 😂
I never realised how pretty Bett Lynch was. When I was younger I saw her as a comical, middle aged, tarty barmaid. Now I see her as a lovely young woman. With her hair pulled back as Britannia she's stunning.

I from US we have crappy TV but British TV has never been better it's never let me down enjoy it all!!!

Can someone tell me how Vera qualified as a granny to enter a glamorous granny competition in 1977? I'm missing something here.

Obviously the writers thought nobody would realise. Bit of an insult to the fans of Corrie really.

Had Stan gone round to the cafe? He was talking to Mavis and Ken and disappeared!

What the heck is that rag Deirdre's wearing to her own baby's Christening!
Ena scrubbed up well though 👌!
My memory isn't what it used to be, I had to look up Arthur Stokes as I couldn't place him. Of course, he was Seth Armstrong in Emmerdale. Unbelievably, he's only 46 here.
How does Reenie work morning until night everyday, running the shop by herself??! She obviously closed the store when they went fishing!
10 /10
What did emily mean when she said it isn't some kind of...when Mrs sharples collapsed?
Very best of corrie
Anyone know how long I have to wait until those 2 hooligans move out of Elsie's house?
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying watching these old corries.
It's great to see a young, normal acting Gail before she became a mother and turned all weird and almost creepy.
And Blanche looks amazing! I've always loved how bitchy and sarcastic she was, so was funny to see that she's always been a Deirdre's partner hater 🤣.
I still really dislike Annie Walker though. 🐲
I think she had a good heart despite her conservatism.
So Gail changes as she aged?
Albert in denim.😎😎😎
Dreary always got on my nerves always shoving Tracy on Emily no wonder Tracy turned out to be rotten .
4:21:14 Annie Walker smoking!
Yes she smoked in real life too
3:08:57 "Bill Webster", well before he made an appearance
Bill Webster! 3:05:10
"one has to have the deportment " classic Annie Walker.
Seriously Renee, you could have at least changed the dirty covers before you told poor old Alf to get into the bed
I never realized how much of a horrible friend Rita was.
Earnest needs to go to anger management 😮
since when did Vera have a grandchild to enter the glamorous grannie competion
Im sure Jack & Vera's son Terry got his girlfriend pregnant at some point!
They didnt get married & i think Terry did a runner down to London
Lol ive just surprised myself by remembering Terry Duckworths
Actors name..Nigel Pivarro!
How the heck did i remember that??
So odd because Terry wasnt in the show very often, he was a real flyboy!
Even Jack looked good compared to his son!
Im sure that was how Vera qualified as a Glam Gran!
I doubt the Corrie writers would have made a mistake with such eagle earred Corrie fans!
Ive watched some of these old Corrie episodes all day long & i cant get enough of them
Ive never been so entertained
In a very long time as i have today & the coming days as ive saved all the past episodes for the next full 7 days, watching 15hrs per day.. in fact it will take me 2.5 weeks to watch it all.
Im in clover! Happy as a Sandboy or girl even!
The actors look so young!
All gone now.. sadly i think only Ken Barlow is going.. boring old Ken. Lol
I just adore these characters
& brilliant acting, superb scripts
& storylines!!
I stopped watching Corrie when the Battersbys came in to it
There was just something that went " off" from that time onwards!
Judging by the many comments on these old episodes, so many people say the last 18yrs or so have been rubbish compared to the really old, first episodes in Black & white & these ones from the full 1970s & 80s & mid 90s
Oh those days with Ena, Minnie Cauldwell & Martha Longhurst!
With their 3 milk stouts!!
Harry & Concepta Hewitt & daughter Lucille
Dennis Tanner, even Hilda & Stans gorgeous daughter Sandra
Who... i think married Ken Barlows younger brother!!
Crikey im really showing my age but not my memory! Its still sharp after all these years
Oh who remembers Annie Walkers son? Wasnt he called John?
Ah well im getting back to my viewing..
Thank you in bucketfulls for these episodes
Regards
🇬🇧👧
Terry Duckworth would have only been about 12 in 1977. He got Andrea Clayton pregnant in the mid 80s@@itallia666
Ray always wears the same jeans and shirt.
The Langton livery!
Deirdre insufferable, Tracy the worst crybaby in history.
But Tracy is sooo adorable in the thumbnail 😍🤩🥰😊
Great scene when Len threw the young lad out. My mates dad was the same - I’d been in his house after a night out and he smashed the kitchen up. Wife crying hysterically. Volatile times the 70’s and 80’s..
It's clear who Tracy Barlow takes her personality from......her real dad Ray Langton 😮
Why wasn’t Stan at the competition??!
