I don't know why people think Ken is boring. He's certainly not as colorful as other characters, but, in a show with Ena, Elsie, Len, and now Dave Smith, you need someone who's the voice of reason. I loved the episode in which Ken and Len got into a fight over the article Ken had written. In spite of that, they made up. It shows a level of maturity on Ken's part. Sure, he's a snob, but every character has a weakness.
@@eat_a_dick_trudeau I defer to your knowledge of the events and that therefore the episode itself is from 1969. However, I assume you agree that the Roman numerals at the start are MCMLXIX, i.e. 1969. So, it is a bit of a mystery to me, unless I am too short-sighted and the numerals are MCMLXII, i.e. 1962. Merry Christmas!
My guess is the film would have been re-edited with the "proper" (modern for 1969) Granada logo (but with the 'wrong' (current: 1969) year on the copyright notice, not the date of production) for export overseas ... Australia and New Zealand (and others) were quite happy to receive a job lot of episodes of a show that were made once or twice a week, or were seasonal, and run them every day. The Granada logo on a lot of early 60s episodes is quite different. All circumstantial, nothing to back that up
Thanks for uploading this classic.
Ty so much for uploading these episodes great fan from nz here. 💓
21:20 so true Ken!!!!
I love Enas sofa 😊
Elsie looked thinner and younger seven years later. That was the best hairstyle Emily ever had.
Good old Len, always ready for a punch up.
Love these
I was 7 in 1962, still got the dull and boring Ken Barlow living in the same house forever and more in 2022.
Not the same house - he was in No 9 in 1962, he's moved all the way to No 1 now!
How time changed

Lov Ena 😂
The Roman numerals below “Granada Television” before the programme starts suggest that this was a 1969 episode.
Harry Hewitt being crushed to death by a car on Elsie and Steve Tanner's wedding day in September 1967, would suggest that you are incorrect.

No it's 1962 as Harry and Concepta just had their baby but it's listed out of sequence as far as I can tell
Dedinitely 1962. The cast very different in 1969.
