Sad to see Stan unwell you can notice the slurring of speech and the way he moves that he is unwell in real life not sure between the story timeline and Bernards real life how long we have until Stan passes? Such fine actors and a perfect pair God bless them for what they have given to us the public
@@jayrox40 Yes,and he was also in The Sweeney,Minder,and a very rare tv mini series called : Nobody's Hero,from 1982,.. which was broadcast Nov & Dec 1982 on ITV Granada at the same time episodes were broadcast of Coronation Street he featured in

He sure was - Len Fairclough was a well liked, decent, salt of the earth character. The actor who played him however, Peter Adamson, was a ruthless, self-serving snake. For over two decades Adamson enjoyed extraordinary loyalty from Granada, and the soap which made him a star in 1961. Long-suffering 'Street' bosses stood by him throughout his alcoholism and its related issues, like arriving at the TV studios too drunk to work, and multiple pub brawls and drunk driving incidents. And ultimately he repaid them with betrayal. Early in 1983, Adamson had no conscience about breaking his 'Corrie' contract and selling spiteful stories on co-stars including Anne Kirkbride (Deirdre), and Jean Alexander (Hilda), to the highest tabloid bidder. The juicier and more negative his tales about the UK's most famous and popular 'Corrie' faces, the higher his fee from the red top newspaper. He didn't pull his punches. He argued that Anne Kirkbride should be written out of the show, as she had become 'lazy'. According to him, Deirdre was a 'boring housewife', and, he hinted, the actress was drinking too much off screen (pot and kettle spring to mind). But more hurtful still was his speculation that the unmarried Jean Alexander was a lonely spinster, and likely a virgin. Jean was a quiet woman who kept her own counsel, but she had forged a warm and she thought mutually respectful platonic friendship with Adamson. Many years later, she remarked she was very disappointed to see what she had regarded as private conversations between old mates, repeated in black and white for all to read in a national newspaper. Astonishingly, Adamson even revealed that he and Barbara Knox, who played his wife Rita, were not pally, off-camera! The article was a horrible betrayal of his fellow cast members. Though it was a undoubtedly a sackable offence it was his first such transgression, so producer Bill Podmore let him off with a slap on the wrist - a six week suspension - and a warning he would be fired if he ever did it again. But he repeated the same crime just months later - taking huge payments from two tabloid newspapers, for more sensational revelations on his 'Street' peers. He needed money to pay the top QC he had hired to defend him against serious criminal charges of child sexual abuse. 40 years later, people are frequently confused, and assume he lost the plum role of Len Fairclough due to those shocking allegations he had molested two little girls. Not at all - in fact he was initially merely temporarily written out to focus on his trial, with the expectation he would return. He even asked Bill Podmore if Granada could loan him £10,000 to pay his counsel, and he was about to hand it over when the actor admitted the two newspaper deals he'd just signed - once again breaking the confidentiality clause of his contract. There was no question of him keeping his job this time - the £10,000 cheque was promptly withdrawn, and he was fired by letter. There is still much confusion about Adamson's 1983 prosecution, so I will outline the facts here for anyone curious to read an accurate account. On 23rd April 1983, he was charged with sexually assaulting two little girls aged 8. The incidents happened when he was moonlighting at a Lancashire leisure centre on Saturday mornings, as a children's swimming teacher. It was the perfect past time for a paedophile, and one of many extra curricular activities he pursued with children, which privately raised eyebrows. Before anyone replies to this post with: 'He was found not guilty', I must point out he hired the best lawyer in the land, George Carman QC, to get him off. Carman represented many famous and privileged people, and was masterful at persuading juries his hitherto celebrated and highly respected client couldn't possibly have done what he was accused of. In Adamson's case, not one but two police officers surreptitiously observed him in the swimming pool through an underwater glass porthole, after a tip-off from a witness. Referring to their own contemporaneous notes, both officers confirmed on the witness stand he was repeatedly grabbing the girls around the rear end, and touching them intimately, putting his thumbs inside their swimming costumes. Carman pointed out similarities in the wording of the two officers' written statements, and argued it showed clear collusion between them, and therefore dishonesty. Unfortunately when challenged by him, both police officers made the mistake of flat-out denying they had conferred with each other at all. There likely had been communication between them in writing up their accounts - and who can blame them. They must have been well aware of the enormous fame of the 'Street' star, and the level of public and media interest that would follow, with him facing such shocking crimes against children. Hardly surprising if they talked about and took greater care over their notes on this particular case, than was the norm. That didn't mean they weren't true accounts of what they had seen with their own eyes! The child victims' verbal interviews confirmed the police witness descriptions of Adamson's assaults, and written transcripts of the girls' own words were provided to the jury. But they were obviously too young to be put on the stand, so the police officers' evidence was critical - and George Carman knew it. He had to destroy the police officers' credibility - and he did. He cleverly persuaded jurors the similar wording of the two officers' witness statements, proved a police conspiracy against his client It was a ludicrous proposition. Carman was suggesting Adamson had been framed. In reality, the police officers were far more likely to back off and dismiss the allegations against the very famous and popular star of Britain's favourite soap. The notion they had any motive to lie about his behaviour and set up an innocent man - particularly a national treasure like 'Coronation Street's Len Fairclough - simply does not hold up to logic or common sense! But the brilliant George Carman QC worked his usual magic, justified his enormous salary once again, and won Peter Adamson such a resounding acquittal that the court burst into spontaneous applause when the verdict was announced. As would later be seen when Carman won a seemingly impossible courtroom fight for comedian Ken Dodd against the taxman, juries rarely have the stomach to send popular celebrities to jail. However, the postscript to the Peter Adamson story gave George Carman less cause for celebration - and put a considerable amount of egg on his face. Five years after his acquittal, touring in provincial theatre plays and struggling to get even bit parts on TV, Peter Adamson once again agreed to be interviewed by a red top tabloid newspaper. He sensationally admitted that just about everything he had been accused of doing to the girls in the swimming pool that day, he had been guilty of all along - adding a bizarre disclaimer that, quote: 'there was no sexual intent'. So despite the 'Not Guilty' verdict that some are so fond of quoting under vintage 'Corrie' videos, Peter Adamson ultimately confessed to sexually assaulting those children. The justice system failed two little girls heinously. They were put through what must have been a horrible experience, let down by jurors, and effectively called liars, all thanks to the sinister power of celebrity. Sickening! I only hope their literal, 'brush with fame' at such a vulnerable age, didn't cause them long-lasting trauma. In the final decade of his life Adamson was declared bankrupt, blaming his debts on the 1983 court case, and retired from acting. In 1994 he complained in a Sunday People interview, that none of the 'Coronation Street' cast had contacted him since his 1983 sacking. He said he had twice written to Julie Goodyear (Bet), who he was close to during his time on the show, but that she never replied. Peter Adamson died of stomach cancer in 2002 aged 72. The once rich and famous, celebrated Liverpool lad made good, had an ignominious end. His final years were spent alone and penniless, living on the state pension and benefits in a one-bedroom housing association flat. I think justice caught up with him, one way or another, as it generally does. To share the famous Biblical quote: "Take what you want", said God: "Take it - and pay for it".
I agree it is possible for a brilliant lawyer to get a guilty person off. Look at the libel trial Liberace and the columnist Cassandra were part of. With regard to the two officers testimony being similar surely it would be if they observed the same incident. A very enjoyable resume of Adamson thank you.
The show's first 25 years were epic and secured many awards. They deserve a place in a U.K. museum of culture. I've not watched tv or read a newspaper for 30+ years, since the massive political campaign got serious - to turn the U.K. into an all-black homosexual haven. But, thanks to RUclips one can revert back to much better days.
Hilda would have made a good wife for someone who was actually hard working, she really did want to do well in life and I am glad she got a good ending.
@@bazgent What? That's a first, I've never seen a negative comment about Hilda here before. She's arguably 'Coronation Street's' all time, best loved character. And rightly so, in my not so humble opinion!
That's a very insightful post. You're right, Hilda was a one woman, human dynamo, who kept the roof over their heads, and put food in their bellies. Stan's reluctant window cleaning was just beer money - it was Hilda's hard work and determination that kept them both afloat over the years. I always thought it was so sad they didn't get any support - financial or emotional - from the two children they had. They must have struggled to feed and clothe them - and what gratitude did they ever see? Irma Ogden vanished from the Street in the early 'Seventies, and eventually it was mentioned she'd emigrated to Canada. And Trevor Ogden lived just a drive away, doing well in some sort of accountancy role, but he never even invited his parents for Christmas, or just to stay for the weekend. As for financial help - forget it. Weasel-faced Trevor once turned up at the Ogdens' out of the blue because he'd heard about an inheritance they received, and he wanted a 'loan'. Sadly it's very true to life - good, hard working folk like Hilda often raise selfish kids, who are all take, take, take. Hilda made a very big mistake in marrying Stan when she was a naive young girl, with stars in her eyes - she wound up having to carry him every step of the way! Her lifestyle only really took off, once she was widowed. There's a lesson there for women methinks!
Eddie is an interesting character. They were basically recycling the Jed Stone "sunny Jim" character from the 1960s. A Scouse chancer with a criminal record who kept older characters company. Like a lot of soaps they seemed to like recycling character types. They also did it with Percy Sugden replacing Uncle Albert as the grumpy old man, and Jack and Vera replacing Stan and Hilda as the comedy married couple.
Mavis being cross with Emily is a comedy acting masterpiece by Thelma Barlow, unbeatable by any actress ANYWHERE. And the support, especially from Rita - Barbara Knox - who just looks more and more astonished - is pure comedy gold too. Just wonderful.
Both Mavis & Fred Gee should be paired up! Both act like spoiled infants having a temper tantrums! Theres nothing worse to witness Than a mature adult behaving in this jaw dropping fashion What a pair of losers They deserve each other. Such petulance & spite with no manners or self control makes them unworthy of respect & Making proper fools of themselves, expecting the world to owe them a living! Ive not one shred of sympathy for people like these two!😝 Cheers 🇬🇧👧
Hilda makes me laugh 😆 she argues with Elsie on the street but as a cheek to ask her for a packet of lard or a cup of milk, Elsie should learn to say “no” to Hilda I ❤the old ones of Corrie
Betty Driver was a vegetarian and couldn't "cook a hotpot" to save her life. She originally auditioned for the role of Hilda Ogden but they wanted a woman of slighter build.
Jack Duckworth or actor Bill Tarmey Is or was a really good piano player in real life! Hes been featured a few times in his cups, belting out some old favourites on the "Joanna" in the Rovers Return He sings too! Many of the older actors started in variety acts before they got into acting. We all know Rita Littlewood was a damn good singer, but so was Vera, Ivy ( who did stand up comedy with her famous comedian brother Dougie Brown) Ive also heard Audrey Potter sing With a good voice Hmmm who else? Of course there was the multi talented Dennis Tanner, Elsies son. Ena Sharples ( Violet Carson) Was also an accomplished piano player. But the best of them all?? Our Hilda! What a voice! Could charm the birds down from the trees ( most likely Vultures lol) Hilda cheers us all with her sights always on improving her status & living a stylish lifestyle Its all she ever wanted! A lovely house with modern kitchen, pretty garden, A beautiful 3 piece suite all brand new Quality fitted carpets throughout & up to date modern Appliances! Its all she dreamed of I remember when she dragged Stan up a muddy hill in his Sunday Best to view a new Show House on a new housing Estate In awe & wonder she went from room to room, her eyes as wide & innocent as a childs, telling Stan I never realised THIS was how the other half lived... Its like a dream come true, even just walking through these beautiful rooms Id have loved to have seen the scriptwriters put some good fortune, the Ogdens way Like a unknown relative leaving One of them an inheritance Or their Pools coming up or them winning a home, or getting some Premium Bonds shell out It wouldnt have harmed their characters or storyline to see them in their lovely home with " Murials" on the walls of every room, the Flying Ducks all over The great big dining table spread with HP sauce & bottles of Ale Posh dinner service holding Doorstep wedges of inch thick Fried bread, chips, sausage, eggs & beans!!! What a treat! The snobby neighbours ignoring them but Stan & Hilda oblivious as they bask in luxury! Even if they won a prize of month of luxury Living! They SOoooo deserved it Cheers 🇬🇧👧
Nearly all of November 1982 seems missing, which is a shame as it was during that month when the Sharon-Brian shenanigans came to a head, leading to a cold war between Len and Brian - as I remember; and also the con man storyline involving Elsie, which resulted in Eddie losing his savings and running away. Hope these episodes turn up sometime.
I think that you can type in the missing episode number to locate what is not available in this omnibus. Read comments for Sept/Oct/Nov for more information. Professional Gun 66 has explained
Can't believe watching this that Pat Phoenix had only 4 more years to live after this, and Jack Howarth (Albert) and Bernard Youens (Stan) had only 2 years.
He is. I am still trying to work out why. It's not like he has achieved much of a career, he has always lived in someone else's house and he didn't even bring up his own kids, uncle Albert went to see them more than he did.
Hilda ( to Elsie) “Ooo, the trouble you bring to this street!” as if Elsie’s a relative newcomer. Ironic when, apart from Ken, Annie and Albert, Elsie’s the only original character on it!
Else and Hilda having a slanging match in the street, it wasn’t the 1st time this happened, but both played fantastic characters, oh look it’s phylis Pearce another great character
With regarding my earlier comment, if this had had been in present times, Ken could have just said to Deidre that they would watch it later on on catch up TV.
Marian reminds me of a famous American Hootenanny or big band singer called Tessie O Shay or something similar ( or probably was nothing like that at all 😆) Maybe even Two Ton Tessie She was a big beautiful lady with a huge voice, blonde hair, colourful dresses & ALWAYS smiling This singer did indeed resemble Marian, the small pointed nose Crinkly smiley eyes & those large prominent front teeth! I knew Marian reminded me of someone & ive racked my brains thinking of who? Then just a few mins ago the answer just sprang into my memory It was Two Ton Tessie O Shay Belting out the songs in the 1940s or 50s onwards Thanks PG66 🇬🇧👧

It's a real joy to read your witty, wise and always entertaining comments on sublime vintage Corrie episodes. It's a tradition with me now to seek out late 'seventies/early 'eighties episodes from the Street. I guess because I watched them as a kid they bring back my childhood Christmases, which were very happy ones. I didn't realise you are in Australia - so it must be your Summer right now. I spent Christmas and New Year in Australia back in 2005/6, I found it so surreal celebrating the festive season in the sweltering heat of Brisbane, Port Douglas, Sydney and the Blue Mountains!

@@glamdolly30I’m having the same issues so I’m trying again. I am migrated here in 1964 with my parents I was nine. There was my older brother and my sister who was just a baby. I have been back twice for the last time was 1980. I still have a proper strong Scottish accent I’ve never lost it. And I never watch anything on TV but British shows. Once a Brit always a Brit! And I love these episodes of curries and make me happy too. Hope you get this😊
The return of Bert "you know what I mean" Tilsley, thankfully without the "you know what I mean". As much as I liked his character, I got pig sick after 3 years of listening to him saying it every 15 seconds.
Nice Sherlock Holmes detective work by Marion….I suppose Sharon was simply written out of the story because it made sense for her to stay. Seeing father and son leave for Australia made me homesick for Australia of forty years ago. It was a good place to emigrate to until anytime before 2000. It has been destroyed by globalists and modern times are just vile. No wonder we love the nostalgia generated by these episodes. I love Elsie Tanner, the Ogdens and their surrogate families. The Duckies finished off their time on Coronation as worthy successors and evolved into the last of the legends. Perhaps their relationship with Tyrone was one of the few reasons to keep watching. I think many people can identify with having strong bonds with their lodgers.
Couldn't agree more about Australia - it has been ruined as you say. It was the best place in the world in the 80s, when the Whitelys emigrated in this storyline. It's awful now and getting worse.
@@LadyOfShaIottI can remember when the most upsetting thing that could possibly happen was when your favourite thongs broke and you had to break in a new pair. It truly was a no worries country.

I think Marion must be puddled. She keeps finishing with Eddie then swanning back talking absolute twaddle. She also needs to stop pulling those gormless faces. She looks like she's breaking those teeth in for Red Rum.
Marian looks different somehow Maybe its because shes much thinner & its altered her face alot? Anyway she really suits it It becomes her & her hair style is much nicer too I think Marian is really cute & looks great with big Teddy Eddie Regards 🇬🇧👧
Oh my Mavis drive me up the wall, not wanting to dance at any point, expecting him not to dance and then leaving in a cream puff ;-). Then getting all moody with Emily and Victor when they did nothing wrong. No wonder she sits on the side-lines of life. Bloody hell she is hard work.
Am I the only person who sees a distinctive resemblance between Mavis Riley and current Corrie character Emma Brooker? They could be mother and daughter actually
Have been binge watching everyday from 1978.superb entertainment better times and actors thankyou😊😊😊
Been binge watching Corrie 80s, I'm old but loving it.....if only i was that age again.
The Ogdens "Dressed for Dinner" scene with Mrs Walker is absolute gold. Played brilliantly by all 3 actors.
So many funny moments in these old episodes. I escape to the old world of Corrie, it’s like a cocoon.
So good to see the storylines are more realistic than up to date episodes. ❤
Sad to see Stan unwell you can notice the slurring of speech and the way he moves that he is unwell in real life not sure between the story timeline and Bernards real life how long we have until Stan passes? Such fine actors and a perfect pair God bless them for what they have given to us the public
They made those characters so brilliantly real. Loved them. I don’t think it was the same for Jean Alexander acting on that show without him.
Whydo we have to put up with Rita's singing..?
Bit of a lump in my throat when Hilda started to cry.
You and be both😢
And me 😢
I love Hilda singing
Now I have a new addiction, Corrie.
Hilda to Stan “If there was two of me in the bed, there’d be room left over. If there was two of you, it’d collapse.” 😂😂
Stan was a bit of a wreckage by 1982...looks like he'd had a stroke or two.

What a good actor Peter adamson was.
Yes the men of Corrie tend to get a raw deal and get eclipsed by the ladies
He sure was - Len Fairclough was a well liked, decent, salt of the earth character. The actor who played him however, Peter Adamson, was a ruthless, self-serving snake.
For over two decades Adamson enjoyed extraordinary loyalty from Granada, and the soap which made him a star in 1961.

The child victims' verbal interviews confirmed the police witness descriptions of Adamson's assaults, and written transcripts of the girls' own words were provided to the jury. But they were obviously too young to be put on the stand, so the police officers' evidence was critical - and George Carman knew it. He had to destroy the police officers' credibility - and he did. He cleverly persuaded jurors the similar wording of the two officers' witness statements, proved a police conspiracy against his client
It was a ludicrous proposition. Carman was suggesting Adamson had been framed. In reality, the police officers were far more likely to back off and dismiss the allegations against the very famous and popular star of Britain's favourite soap. The notion they had any motive to lie about his behaviour and set up an innocent man - particularly a national treasure like 'Coronation Street's Len Fairclough - simply does not hold up to logic or common sense!
But the brilliant George Carman QC worked his usual magic, justified his enormous salary once again, and won Peter Adamson such a resounding acquittal that the court burst into spontaneous applause when the verdict was announced. As would later be seen when Carman won a seemingly impossible courtroom fight for comedian Ken Dodd against the taxman, juries rarely have the stomach to send popular celebrities to jail.
However, the postscript to the Peter Adamson story gave George Carman less cause for celebration - and put a considerable amount of egg on his face.
Five years after his acquittal, touring in provincial theatre plays and struggling to get even bit parts on TV, Peter Adamson once again agreed to be interviewed by a red top tabloid newspaper. He sensationally admitted that just about everything he had been accused of doing to the girls in the swimming pool that day, he had been guilty of all along - adding a bizarre disclaimer that, quote: 'there was no sexual intent'.
So despite the 'Not Guilty' verdict that some are so fond of quoting under vintage 'Corrie' videos, Peter Adamson ultimately confessed to sexually assaulting those children. The justice system failed two little girls heinously. They were put through what must have been a horrible experience, let down by jurors, and effectively called liars, all thanks to the sinister power of celebrity. Sickening! I only hope their literal, 'brush with fame' at such a vulnerable age, didn't cause them long-lasting trauma.
In the final decade of his life Adamson was declared bankrupt, blaming his debts on the 1983 court case, and retired from acting. In 1994 he complained in a Sunday People interview, that none of the 'Coronation Street' cast had contacted him since his 1983 sacking. He said he had twice written to Julie Goodyear (Bet), who he was close to during his time on the show, but that she never replied.
Peter Adamson died of stomach cancer in 2002 aged 72. The once rich and famous, celebrated Liverpool lad made good, had an ignominious end. His final years were spent alone and penniless, living on the state pension and benefits in a one-bedroom housing association flat. I think justice caught up with him, one way or another, as it generally does. To share the famous Biblical quote:
"Take what you want", said God: "Take it - and pay for it".
......... and an even better Swim Coach. Thumbs Up For Len Fairclough, every little helps 😂😂😂.
I agree it is possible for a brilliant lawyer to get a guilty person off. Look at the libel trial Liberace and the columnist Cassandra were part of. With regard to the two officers testimony being similar surely it would be if they observed the same incident. A very enjoyable resume of Adamson thank you.
@@Alan-ss3xp Absolutely right - and George Carman was one of the best!
You're most welcome, thank you for your kind feedback.
Perfect writing, acting and directing. Happy happy Corrie days.
The writing really is first rate - very immersive and full of insight.
The show's first 25 years were epic and secured many awards. They deserve a place in a U.K. museum of culture. I've not watched tv or read a newspaper for 30+ years, since the massive political campaign got serious - to turn the U.K. into an all-black homosexual haven. But, thanks to RUclips one can revert back to much better days.
@@sanderslongdriveDamn I didn't know the uk is all black homosexuals....where did all the pale faces go?
@@sanderslongdriveThanks for airing you hatred for all and sundry to read. May God bless you and soften your heart
Poor Deirdre, all she ever wanted was some fun. Ken was Mr dull, would have been better off with Uncle Albert..
Thanks so much for these uploads. You can really lose yourself in them.
Hilda would have made a good wife for someone who was actually hard working, she really did want to do well in life and I am glad she got a good ending.
Hilda legend and totally nosey *^$$%#@#!!
Stan had 3 strokes by this stage he wasn't able to work in real life most his sceens are sitting down
Hilda is Horrible!
@@bazgent What? That's a first, I've never seen a negative comment about Hilda here before. She's arguably 'Coronation Street's' all time, best loved character. And rightly so, in my not so humble opinion!
That's a very insightful post. You're right, Hilda was a one woman, human dynamo, who kept the roof over their heads, and put food in their bellies. Stan's reluctant window cleaning was just beer money - it was Hilda's hard work and determination that kept them both afloat over the years.
I always thought it was so sad they didn't get any support - financial or emotional - from the two children they had. They must have struggled to feed and clothe them - and what gratitude did they ever see?
Irma Ogden vanished from the Street in the early 'Seventies, and eventually it was mentioned she'd emigrated to Canada. And Trevor Ogden lived just a drive away, doing well in some sort of accountancy role, but he never even invited his parents for Christmas, or just to stay for the weekend.
As for financial help - forget it. Weasel-faced Trevor once turned up at the Ogdens' out of the blue because he'd heard about an inheritance they received, and he wanted a 'loan'. Sadly it's very true to life - good, hard working folk like Hilda often raise selfish kids, who are all take, take, take.
Hilda made a very big mistake in marrying Stan when she was a naive young girl, with stars in her eyes - she wound up having to carry him every step of the way! Her lifestyle only really took off, once she was widowed. There's a lesson there for women methinks!
Haha loved Marvis and Emily’s row in the pub 😂
Emily the scarlet woman 😂
Emily the quiet temptress 😂
The CB radio the Internet of the 80s 😂
Yes, actually 😊 Really cool
Marion is a nice match for Eddie but she really is a pain in the arse.
Eddie should have stayed a bachelor and Marion should have been kept on as a side character.
I find her hard to stand
Eddie is an interesting character. They were basically recycling the Jed Stone "sunny Jim" character from the 1960s. A Scouse chancer with a criminal record who kept older characters company. Like a lot of soaps they seemed to like recycling character types. They also did it with Percy Sugden replacing Uncle Albert as the grumpy old man, and Jack and Vera replacing Stan and Hilda as the comedy married couple.
The best spoonerism I've heard in a long time! 55:25 Gownless evening straps! I love it!
Mavis being cross with Emily is a comedy acting masterpiece by Thelma Barlow, unbeatable by any actress ANYWHERE. And the support, especially from Rita - Barbara Knox - who just looks more and more astonished - is pure comedy gold too. Just wonderful.
Thelma Barlow was brilliant. Her facial expressions alone were first class.
Both Mavis & Fred Gee should be paired up!
Both act like spoiled infants having a temper tantrums!
Theres nothing worse to witness
Than a mature adult behaving in this jaw dropping fashion
What a pair of losers
They deserve each other.
Such petulance & spite with no manners or self control makes them unworthy of respect &
Making proper fools of themselves, expecting the world to owe them a living!
Ive not one shred of sympathy for people like these two!😝
Cheers
🇬🇧👧
Yes it’s so clever
I have to say I really can't stand Deirdre's character, she is such a selfish cow at times and she really does use Emily something rotten.
Plus she is Man Mad.
I wish Brian would have knocked Fred silly
Neat seeing all those old lorries
Fred needed a pasting...he was a social retard.
Len and Rita acting as if Sharon were going to the other side of the moon - not Sheffield!
My thoughts exactly
Hilda makes me laugh 😆 she argues with Elsie on the street but as a cheek to ask her for a packet of lard or a cup of milk, Elsie should learn to say “no” to Hilda I ❤the old ones of Corrie
Betty Driver was a vegetarian and couldn't "cook a hotpot" to save her life. She originally auditioned for the role of Hilda Ogden but they wanted a woman of slighter build.
R.I.P Robert Sydney Sylvester 1942-1997 missed everyday xx
@@tiberseptim560 my father
R.I.P
Jack and Vera pretty good at the singing
Jack Duckworth or actor Bill Tarmey
Is or was a really good piano player in real life!
Hes been featured a few times in his cups, belting out some old favourites on the "Joanna" in the Rovers Return
He sings too!
Many of the older actors started in variety acts before they got into acting.
We all know Rita Littlewood was a damn good singer, but so was
Vera, Ivy ( who did stand up comedy with her famous comedian brother Dougie Brown)
Ive also heard Audrey Potter sing
With a good voice
Hmmm who else?
Of course there was the multi talented Dennis Tanner, Elsies son.
Ena Sharples ( Violet Carson)
Was also an accomplished piano player.
But the best of them all??
Our Hilda!
What a voice! Could charm the birds down from the trees
( most likely Vultures lol)
Hilda cheers us all with her sights always on improving her status & living a stylish lifestyle
Its all she ever wanted!
A lovely house with modern kitchen, pretty garden,
A beautiful 3 piece suite all brand new
Quality fitted carpets throughout & up to date modern
Appliances!
Its all she dreamed of
I remember when she dragged Stan up a muddy hill in his Sunday Best to view a new Show House on a new housing Estate
In awe & wonder she went from room to room, her eyes as wide & innocent as a childs, telling Stan
I never realised THIS was how the other half lived...
Its like a dream come true, even just walking through these beautiful rooms
Id have loved to have seen the scriptwriters put some good fortune, the Ogdens way
Like a unknown relative leaving
One of them an inheritance
Or their Pools coming up or them winning a home, or getting some Premium Bonds shell out
It wouldnt have harmed their characters or storyline to see them in their lovely home with
" Murials" on the walls of every room, the Flying Ducks all over
The great big dining table spread with HP sauce & bottles of Ale
Posh dinner service holding
Doorstep wedges of inch thick
Fried bread, chips, sausage, eggs & beans!!!
What a treat!
The snobby neighbours ignoring them but Stan & Hilda oblivious as they bask in luxury!
Even if they won a prize of month of luxury Living!
They SOoooo deserved it
Cheers
🇬🇧👧
It's not just that Mavis gets flustered it's the way she 'gulps' as she tries to say what she's thinking.
Fred face unzipping Elsie's dress while dancing. Priceless and so "me too"
Nearly all of November 1982 seems missing, which is a shame as it was during that month when the Sharon-Brian shenanigans came to a head, leading to a cold war between Len and Brian - as I remember; and also the con man storyline involving Elsie, which resulted in Eddie losing his savings and running away. Hope these episodes turn up sometime.
I think that you can type in the missing episode number to locate what is not available in this omnibus. Read comments for Sept/Oct/Nov for more information. Professional Gun 66 has explained
I've just watched that, I watch corrie everyday, different you tubers put them on, I still watching episodes I never seen😊
Can't believe watching this that Pat Phoenix had only 4 more years to live after this, and Jack Howarth (Albert) and Bernard Youens (Stan) had only 2 years.
Well, unknown to Sharon, I don’t think she sees Len again-she comes back for his funeral. 😢😢
Ken is so smug all the time.t
Don’ like him at all
He is.
I am still trying to work out why. It's not like he has achieved much of a career, he has always lived in someone else's house and he didn't even bring up his own kids, uncle Albert went to see them more than he did.
Today - (22nd Dec 2022), is the 40th year anniversary of The Dance episode being shown - (22nd Dec 1982) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... From : -2.14.54 on this set
Hilda ( to Elsie) “Ooo, the trouble you bring to this street!” as if Elsie’s a relative newcomer. Ironic when, apart from Ken, Annie and Albert, Elsie’s the only original character on it!
I suppose Elsie did leave for several years and then come back.
Was that are judd from kes ?
This is the first time I've seen Stanley show any character. Actually more concerned about Eddie than his belly.
What would we British do without that ever ready 'emergency' cup of tea.
Else and Hilda having a slanging match in the street, it wasn’t the 1st time this happened, but both played fantastic characters, oh look it’s phylis Pearce another great character
Uncle Albert was a miserable coot.
Two future Brookside cast members appear here, Gladys Ambrose and John McArdle.
And last month Sue Johnston, too!
With regarding my earlier comment, if this had had been in present times, Ken could have just said to Deidre that they would watch it later on on catch up TV.
I think they had VHS but perhaps not recording from the TV. I'm pretty sure they did in the US by this time
Eddie and Stan fab. 😂
So sad too see so many of the cast struck down with strokes .tatlock sounds permanently drunk,can't understand a word he says
55:25 I think Fred means "strapless evening gown", not "gownless evening straps" 🤣
Marian reminds me of a famous
American Hootenanny or big band singer called Tessie O Shay or something similar
( or probably was nothing like that at all 😆)
Maybe even Two Ton Tessie
She was a big beautiful lady with a huge voice, blonde hair, colourful dresses & ALWAYS smiling
This singer did indeed resemble
Marian, the small pointed nose
Crinkly smiley eyes & those large prominent front teeth!
I knew Marian reminded me of someone & ive racked my brains thinking of who?
Then just a few mins ago the answer just sprang into my memory
It was Two Ton Tessie O Shay
Belting out the songs in the 1940s or 50s onwards
Thanks PG66
🇬🇧👧
Nice one
13:20 a classic verbal brawl, on the street, avec Elsie and Hilda ⚡😅⚡
1982 and 87 are my favourites
Gownless evening straps😂,did fred mean to say strapless evening gown..😂
I wonder if they drank the same beer as Cheers, they said it was call "near beer."
Poor Bert, he'd had a stroke in real life by this point, they disguise it as an accident.
Pat Phoenix fluffing her lines again.
And looking fabulous whilst doing it 🤣
She really was the worst in the cast for that!
She must be forgiven due to her overall wonderfulness though.
A lot of them fluff their lines.
3:15:21 the start of Coronation Street’s biggest storyline.
Fred was unexpectedly gallant about the gift exchange at the Christmas staff party! I have a soft spot for him and Stan - bless them!
2:39:51 could anyone else see the reflection in the top left hand corner?
Deirdre so selfish, uses Emily every chance she gets.
She has been that way since Tracey was born. Dreadful.
Can’t abide her. Didn’t get her apparent spex appeal, either! Preferred her to Gail the Wail though
The start of the Deirdre, Ken, Mike love triangle
Deirdre has my entire sympathies being married to someone as patronising and boring as Dalek Ken and having to live with cantankerous Albert.
@@ria1636 Yes, the only surprise is that she hooked up with Ken at all.
1:27:00 For a minute there, I could have sworn the rag doll's legs in long bloomers belonged to Deirdre!
Haha, brilliant!
@@professionalgun6674 I thought to myself: "By 'eck - no wonder Mike Baldwin's soon sniffing round Deirdre, with her flaunting her lacy underpinnings like that at every opportunity!"
@glamdolly30 I am trying to reply to your lovely comment from an hour ago but it won’t let me. So trying this. Happiest of New Years to you too my corrie buddy for years now from Australia 😊
@@bethshields4903 Aww bless you Beth - I get that same issue sometimes when I try to post a reply too, it appears to be posted, yet when I go back to check, there's no sign of it! Weird, and very frustrating!
Well you foxed 'the gremlins, and got this through to me regardless, and I thank for for your sweet message. It's a real joy to read your witty, wise and always entertaining comments on sublime vintage Corrie episodes. It's a tradition with me now to seek out late 'seventies/early 'eighties episodes from the Street. I guess because I watched them as a kid they bring back my childhood Christmases, which were very happy ones.
I didn't realise you are in Australia - so it must be your Summer right now. I spent Christmas and New Year in Australia back in 2005/6, I found it so surreal celebrating the festive season in the sweltering heat of Brisbane, Port Douglas, Sydney and the Blue Mountains!
I'm curious - Are you Aussie born and bred, or are you British and emigrated?
Sending you and yours so much love and positive energy for 2024, on this New Year's Day! Big hug. XXX 🍾⭐🎉🍾⭐🎉🍾⭐🎉🍾⭐🎉🍾⭐🎉🍾⭐
@@glamdolly30I’m having the same issues so I’m trying again. I am migrated here in 1964 with my parents I was nine. There was my older brother and my sister who was just a baby. I have been back twice for the last time was 1980. I still have a proper strong Scottish accent I’ve never lost it. And I never watch anything on TV but British shows. Once a Brit always a Brit! And I love these episodes of curries and make me happy too. Hope you get this😊
Thank goodness Marrion found Eddie and didnt end up sex traffiked
The return of Bert "you know what I mean" Tilsley, thankfully without the "you know what I mean". As much as I liked his character, I got pig sick after 3 years of listening to him saying it every 15 seconds.
That and "yes my sweet". Sends me savage.
He seems very subdued here, I know he had some personal and health problems, I was shocked to read he died at my age, only 48.
He was up on charges of indecency but was let back into the show.....and he had a stroke due to the stress of it.
Billy Corkhill at 58:41 ...
So if Deirdre can relent, couldn’t Ken do the same and agree to go to the country club for Christmas ( and let her see Blanche-her mother??)
I guess this is all leading to the famous love triangle!
No because it's not convenient for what he wants... horrible f***
jeez. i think at some point the entire cast of brookside appeared on corrie.
Nice Sherlock Holmes detective work by Marion….I suppose Sharon was simply written out of the story because it made sense for her to stay. Seeing father and son leave for Australia made me homesick for Australia of forty years ago. It was a good place to emigrate to until anytime before 2000. It has been destroyed by globalists and modern times are just vile. No wonder we love the nostalgia generated by these episodes. I love Elsie Tanner, the Ogdens and their surrogate families. The Duckies finished off their time on Coronation as worthy successors and evolved into the last of the legends. Perhaps their relationship with Tyrone was one of the few reasons to keep watching. I think many people can identify with having strong bonds with their lodgers.
Couldn't agree more about Australia - it has been ruined as you say. It was the best place in the world in the 80s, when the Whitelys emigrated in this storyline. It's awful now and getting worse.
@@LadyOfShaIottI can remember when the most upsetting thing that could possibly happen was when your favourite thongs broke and you had to break in a new pair. It truly was a no worries country.
@@cicerodiello1 Absolutely! Now it’s going the same way as Britain; crime-ridden cities. It’s not the country of Crocodile Dundee anymore, worse luck 😢
I think Marion must be puddled. She keeps finishing with Eddie then swanning back talking absolute twaddle. She also needs to stop pulling those gormless faces. She looks like she's breaking those teeth in for Red Rum.
hahahahahahah, she does!
You're right
Lol 🐴🤪🤣🤣
i hope Red Rum was suitably offended !
Superb.lol.😂
Mavis ought to have been arrested for wearing that hideous dress to that dance!
How about the ribbon she had in the back of her hair, while in the flat with Victor....
@@bsaunders5271 , aye the ribbon was smashing.....not.
Mavis should be transported to the beginning of the 19th century, permanently!
What in the world was wrong with her?
'(Liverpool)...it's a rough town!' - unlike Manchester. 😂
😃😄🤣😂😂
God Stan and Hilda .. Could break your heart ❤️ 😢
Which year is the one where they’ve been together for 40 years? Where bet shouts belt up?
Marian looks different somehow
Maybe its because shes much thinner & its altered her face alot?
Anyway she really suits it
It becomes her & her hair style is much nicer too
I think Marian is really cute & looks great with big Teddy Eddie

Betty pulls a good pint
Betty Driver ran a pub in real life...
@@TheMeeja thanks for that
She ran The Cock Hotel in Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire with her sister Freda.
Oh my Mavis drive me up the wall, not wanting to dance at any point, expecting him not to dance and then leaving in a cream puff ;-). Then getting all moody with Emily and Victor when they did nothing wrong. No wonder she sits on the side-lines of life. Bloody hell she is hard work.
It must have been absolutely exhausting for Thelma Barlow as an actor to portray Mavis! I wonder who she based her on.
Spinsters are forever emotionally unhinged. Seems to be the thing with many young singles today. Mavis was ahead of the curve 😂
Glad sharon went she got on my nerves awful voice .
So sad these clips with Stan he doesn’t look too well what a brilliant actor Stan is 👍👍👍
Susan1958 He had a stroke and died a year later in real life aged just 62.

Ken, you should have got yourself a video recorder and then you could record the documentary and take Deidre out.
An overdose of smarties 😅😂
Sad to see how sweet Tracy is as a little girl, They turned her into beast.
How could Mike resist Deirdre in her 'granny' fur-lined boots.
Albert Dock before transformation!!!
I'm still convinced that Hilda's hat is made out of Marzipan.
I really like 👍🏾 Bett’s hair.
Am I the only person who sees a distinctive resemblance between Mavis Riley and current Corrie character Emma Brooker? They could be mother and daughter actually
I can see that, actually. Maybe granddaughter rather than daughter tho.
Breaker Breaker...Scouser love...LOL
Hilarious, Eddie and Stan make the show.
Marion has a nerve she ran off with her boyfriend then lays into eddie shes a miserable cow .
Sharon, acting, charector is Vile
Carnt stop laughing at 1 56 stan face with them trees
When Tracey met her Dad (Ray) for the last time, she complained and said he never had sent her anything, shows that was wrong.
At 2:26:46 Mavis looking like an extra from Little House On The Prairie.
