Bet's reaction to 'amorous Alf' made this one of the best ever episodes of Corrie. Brilliantly written and nobody could have done it better than those two... side splittingly funny! Golden memories to treasure. Thankyou so much for bringing this back to us.
@@nitad4203 God that was Soo funny, I can see it now in my mind's eye! Alf was hilarious as a Casanova. And Bet's nervous reaction, LMAO! Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to watch it again this weekend - I could do with a laugh!
@@glamdolly30 I have watched these videos continuously since Professional Gun66 uploaded them. I watch all of them and then start over. It's a great channel. There are so many good storylines and great laughs. Eddie getting the 'Monogrammed Carpet' for Annie Walker is hilarious and Bet, Betty and Fred's day out where the Rover ends up in the lake is just so funny. Its good old fashioned entertainment from a time that is so dear to my heart 😊
Nice one for uploading these. It takes me back to being a kid and watching with my mam and dad. I've sat through hours of them. :) I should get out more
4:21 nice adlibbing from Deirdrie / Ann with tracey getting shell in her egg. also a lot more verbal fluffs which is quite normal, we are not all word perfect every time we speak so it was a lot more realistic
Bert was great with Gail ( & vice versa ) . Typical Ivy interfering with the reception do. Loved Bet saying Hilda had a voice like a piano falling down a fire escape lol. And Annie Walker's icy warning to Hilda " if you disturb a molecule of air ,I shall dismiss you " .
Regardless of the scandal which befell Peter Adamson, he played the part of Len Fairclough brilliantly. Could have remained in the show until the 1990s and became a Corrie legend had things been different.
I am in America, but watching on RUclips and Britbox and know the story of Peter Adamson. It is, indeed, sad. He was angry that they chose to have his character go in such a way and blamed producers for trying to turn the audience against him by having his character die in the midst of an affair for Rita to find out. Would have been very nice if things could have turned out differently, especially since Len was the one who got onto Ray for cheating with Janice.
I know they rotate characters on basis of appearances etc but Elsie being absent at Gails wedding was ludicrous. That budgie was in good nick considering. Nearly at the end of the 70's, thanks for providing us with something decent to watch 👍🏼
Interesting at 2:12:02 where Alf bumps into Audrey at Rovers front door purely as strangers (possibly their first onscreen encounter) yet it would be a few years later before they'd be a couple!
Quinten's work as Bryan Tisley in this era was simply superb. I read somewhere that he was a method actor and stayed in character when the cameras weren't rolling. A mesmerising performance
Elsie's departure seems quite sudden, and I can't help but wonder if Pat Phoenix had to leave to look after her terminally ill husband, Alan Browning (who played her on-screen husband Alan Howard, of course). Browning died of liver failure in September 1979.
Watching these old ones I'm realizing how many storylines they reuse. The chickens, lying to perspective buyers on home, the metal detector in the allotment, the hair piece, the dog race one (multiple times),just to name a few. Even the modern writers knew they cdnt do better than the classics
Indeed. It seems that that nothing goes to plan In Coronation Street weddings post 2000. Or perhaps before. It was a lovely service. What a shame the passing of time has been such a disappointment.
Yes! You're so right! I've been watching the more modern episodes and it's all blaming everyone else for everything with punch ups at wedding and funerals, murders and general nastiness! 😑
I know people looked older in the 1970s, but isn’t Deidre supposed to be in her 20s? Her clothes, hair and huge glasses make her look like a frumpy 40-something at least
IVY should have met her plastic surgeon earlier. He/she could have stitched her lips together & superglued them. Oh what joy for her family & friends. IVY grows on you. Like a wart on a witches nose. But with Ivy a huge boil on someone’s bum.
Ken is a really stunningly handsome man, as in hot! Glad to know he's still going strong and has aged very well. Bert is also very handsome in a more rugged way. Congrats to Gail and Brian!!
BERT HANDSOME 😂😂😂IM sorry, but totaly disagree, i nearly choked laughing when u said that, everyone to there own and your opinion but i just dont see it AT ALL and his acting was no better either, i hated his character, got on my nerves, i was glad when he went.
Hot definitely doesn't come to mind when thinking of Ken Barlow 😅 but oh well, different strokes for different folks. He was very decent looking man back in his day though. His age is showing through here.
I come from a small town - My mum and her like wouldnt have got on with Elsie or Rita for that matter - Too fancy - I think maybe Ivy or Vera maybe Hilda would have been more her type - People like Elsie were gossiped about - you would here them talk about stuff they got up to during the war and what they were wearing stuff like that - My dad would have got on well enough with Elsie which would have been like a red flag to a bull as far as my mother was concerned
The story, changing the man from the animal charity, makes no sense whatsoever, I'd say something happened to the original actor, he couldn't come back, they didn't want him, who knows!
Been watching all episodes since 1960s really enjoyed them but from May 1979 just seem to be fast forwarding now. The story now about the budgie stuck behind the fireplace totally ridiculous
I thought the RSPCA officer, Harry, was going to stick around. I googled it and he was due to become Mavis love interest and he himself reckons it might have been long term possibly taking the place of Derek. However the ITV strikes happened at this time and he wasn't available when it was time to go back to filming.
I am so sorry but Mavis got on my last nerve and whoever wrote her line how do you tell the difference between a boy or girl was someone taking the pics????
Three of the loveliest words in the English language:
'ALL EIGHT EPISODES'.

Julie Goodyear is a brilliant comedic actress.
@@bsaunders5271 She sure is, and Bryan Mosley was no slouch either, his amorous act with slicked back hair and cravat was hilarious!

Ivy's voice is very annoying when she's angry! Thank you for these uploads. I've been binging on them!!
I love Stan, Hilda and Eddie Yates. A simple life.
Love the 70s episode’s-thanks a million.😊
Ivy and Brian look as if they are sharing the same wigs.
YES!!🤣Or the same hairdresser 🤣
Nice one for uploading these. It takes me back to being a kid and watching with my mam and dad. I've sat through hours of them. :) I should get out more
Another great Upload! Thank you, really appreciate all these episodes and thank you for taking the time to upload them for us :-)
and so say all of us
Simply superb. Thanks a million PG66! Carry on Classic Corrie (60s, 70s and 80s).
Really enjoyed these- thank you so much.
Excellent 👏👏 upload as always a nice dance down memory lane!!!
Thanks PG66!
2:53:19 the first appearance of Bill Tarmey as Jack Duckworth , he previously had 2 other credited parts, as a darts player, then Jack Rowe
Brian's hair when he's standing with Mike and Bert in the Rovers... looks like he's had a shampoo and set lol.
He is very vain thinks he is gorgeous.
🤣🤣🤣
What's going on with those teeth, though? Are they false? They look too big for his mouth 🤣
Suzie nicknamed Our Brian… Brian The Teeth… in an earlier episode… I thought it was well funny..
Helmet head!
Stan has no interest anything other than beer, bacon and egg, chips, brown sauce, horse racing, ciggies and having a nap.
Ahead of his time our Stan 🍻🍞🍳🥓🥓🍖🥃🍽️
And?
and money, don't forget that
Hilda's pay packet 😊
That's quite a few interests 😅
Bet at 24:52 "She always makes a brew for us on Bank Holiday Monday - it's her version of Maundy Money" made me laugh out loud
Hilarious 😂😂
I cried laughing at Alf playing Bet at her own game 😂😂😂
Same! Absolutely brilliant comedy timing from Bryan Mosley and Julie Goodyear... they just don't make TV as good as this anymore!
@@EveHenleySpread totally agree
I love the dinner party - theme ‘how many people can you squeeze into the back parlour?’
Same 😂😂😂🏴🇺🇸
Same it was so funny
4:21 nice adlibbing from Deirdrie / Ann with tracey getting shell in her egg.
also a lot more verbal fluffs which is quite normal, we are not all word perfect every time we speak so it was a lot more realistic
That little baby girl what plays Tracie is middle aged now, lol.
Bert was great with Gail ( & vice versa ) . Typical Ivy interfering with the reception do. Loved Bet saying Hilda had a voice like a piano falling down a fire escape lol. And Annie Walker's icy warning to Hilda " if you disturb a molecule of air ,I shall dismiss you " .

Scumbag. Makes my skin crawl every time he's on screen. I only read about him a month or two ago.
@@MarcoNegrisEye I know what you mean, but he WAS acquitted of all charges.
I agree. Len and Rita could have had many great storylines

@@bsaunders5271 He didn't have to release a book on everyone though.
I love Eddie's quip...."You can book your holidays in the haemorrhoid islands. 38:25
I know they rotate characters on basis of appearances etc but Elsie being absent at Gails wedding was ludicrous.
That budgie was in good nick considering.
Nearly at the end of the 70's, thanks for providing us with something decent to watch 👍🏼
Maybe Pat Phoenix was having surgery
I know, sometimes it didn't make any sense.....some characters really need to be in certain scenes.
Stan was talking about bank holidays, Ive never heard of a bank holiday in November thanks for sharing this video 😊😊
It's easy to forget that Mike and Ken were once quite good pals, before 'The Deidre Situation'.
Brilliant thanks A million 👍👍👍👍
Interesting at 2:12:02 where Alf bumps into Audrey at Rovers front door purely as strangers (possibly their first onscreen encounter) yet it would be a few years later before they'd be a couple!
What will happen if these get deleted? We can’t live without them!!! ❤ Is there somewhere else they can be uploaded to keep them safe?
I loved the 70s
Mavis as an actor is fabulous, and a kind hearted soul, but absolutely exasperating when experiencing her for ages at a tick
Must say Gail looked lovely in her bridal gown and veil
Brian's hair is bigger than any of the women's
Partly because he's so small! lol
Now that IS funny!
“There’s nowt on telly between 8 and 9, we can have a nice little row then” 🤣🤣🤣
I’m glad 🙂 the budgie was rescued.❤❤🎉🎉

Or possibly for one of her face lifts. Love her.
The scenes where Alf turned the tables on bet were some of the funniest scenes on corrie. They still make me lol 😂
Ivy Vs Audrey. Ouch.
Mavis is such a little darling aww
19.41. ‘You’re not human, you’re a woman’.
A masterclass in sexism courtesy of Baldwin.

Our Brian always reminded me of Andy Gibb.
I loved the Christian wedding ceremony. Today’s Corrie wouldn’t be so brave or respectful.
Indeed. It seems that that nothing goes to plan In Coronation Street weddings post 2000. Or perhaps before. It was a lovely service. What a shame the passing of time has been such a disappointment.
Yes! You're so right! I've been watching the more modern episodes and it's all blaming everyone else for everything with punch ups at wedding and funerals, murders and general nastiness! 😑
Albert Tatlock? Was he recruited from a queue waiting for a bus?
Mavis looks more fashionable than Deirdre at the dinner party.😂
She had very bad dress style.
I read it was because ken was a lot older to make the age gap look less they purposely dressed her in old looking clothes
I know people looked older in the 1970s, but isn’t Deidre supposed to be in her 20s? Her clothes, hair and huge glasses make her look like a frumpy 40-something at least
@@Redsleather Yes, always dressed way beyond her years... so fuddy duddy.
Ooh, unless I'm very much mistaken, this month features the wedding of 'The Chipmunk and the Choppers' - Gail and Brian!
Don't fun of our Brian lol
The chinless wonder and the gormless one. ;-)
🤣🤣🤣
More like the Ferret face & Tombstone Teeth…
@@josephbland3904 Good one! 🤣

Ken’s gorgeous.
Bet their American 😅
How did Stans head get so hugh

How Bette talked to Les behind the bar, and then her standing there flirting . 😂🤣
Suzie’s hair. Red to blonde, then back to red. Looks better blonde 😀
Agreed, far better a blonde.
@@TheGlassman63 crap. Redheads are so much better than fake Blondes!
@@phillipgreer4875 I know, i married a red-head !
Looks far better a red head. She looks washed out.
Eddie checking out the ring..."If that's a real diamond you can book yourselves a holiday in the haemorrhoid islands straight away". 😂
In reality, Audrey (Gayle’s mum) is only 9 years older than Gayle!! In this episode, Audrey was 36, ( looks much older to me) and Gayle was 27!! 😂🤣
The story, changing the man from the animal charity, makes no sense whatsoever, I'd say something happened to the original actor, he couldn't come back, they didn't want him, who knows!
If Sharples wants to chat then she shouldn’t hide in the Snug.
She likes to hold court in there, calling people in when she wants to lecture them or get the gossip.
Of course Harry proved to be a Harriet as was found out by Percy Sugden.
17:35 Wonder if Snow White knows Elsie’s borrowed her outfit? Lol 😂 😂
Gail at present time still whines like a 6 y.o such a needy one
I would've thought a better choice to give Gail away than Mike Baldwin, would have been Bert.
Exactly. Bert was a lovely guy.
Or Elsie, or her mum!
@@gilliangrant8764 A woman didn't do that job in the 70s. Would have been unheard of.
Stan was always on bank holiday even in November 😂
Ken nearly lost his good name - Imagine Ken Barlow is a slag written on the walls of the Rovers toilets - Doesnt bare thinking about
Can't understand what Rita could have against Derdrie
Me neither
Deirdre and Ken were a disastrous couple in my view. Ken said to Carla in 2021 that Val had been the love of his life.
Used fancy Suzy as a youngster ❤❤
Anyone no where the church is brian gail got married
St Boniface RC churchSt Boniface Road,
Lower Broughton
Lancashire
@@ivandickson6063 thanks is the church still there
1 hour.56 mins , different era Bert , different era.
Been watching all episodes since 1960s really enjoyed them but from May 1979 just seem to be fast forwarding now. The story now about the budgie stuck behind the fireplace totally ridiculous
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆❤
The baby screaming in the church! 😂🤣

I'm heading through to December - not sure I can stomach a Tilsley wedding.
A slip up Suzie at 1.54.38, No 11's phone number is 8825, any die hard fan knows that, and she certainly should!!!
What’s wrong with having the reception at the Rover’s??! It’s only 30 people!!
shouldn't have the credits said gail tilsley at the end
Only if you think a woman should take on a man's name.
@@bibakroll8999 well that's been the general consensus for the last millennia and was more the norm in 1979 when this was made
@@stevek6432 It's true that it was more the norm then, more's the pity.
@@bibakroll8999 a lot have both names which is better
@@stevek6432 I can't agree with you there.
Brian's hair😂
10/10
I've made some sandwiches 😂😂😂😂
2:41:52 I miss Edna she was so funny
Ah, the days before Audrey put on that daft accent.
It must be all the smoking she does in the 1970s!
Dreadry with her ....wanton ways playing the victim lol
Why does Ivy's parents look the same age as her and Bert?
Would of liked mavis to hook up with the spca man that old fella is a bit to old
Tardis houses! Go to the ladies in t'Rovers and walk into Albert's back room
I think the first scene with Derdrie and Emily where Derdrie is talking to Tracy is definitely unscripted
Ivy looks as old as her parents!
Why did they all start off with posh voices???
I am so sorry but Mavis got on my last nerve and whoever wrote her line how do you tell the difference between a boy or girl was someone taking the pics????
Bet winding Alf up is as funny as a fire at an Orphanage.
I you love ogden ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🧡❤❤❤❤🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love CS…. Mavis is absolutely annoying….her role was well played!!!
Ivy is the kind of Catholic that if "father" told her to climb up the bell tower and then jump off - she would.
Beaufont Brian looks a complete Himbo ...
Surely Gail's 'wedding vow voice' is THE WORST voice from her toe-curling repertoire of voices....?
Steve and Brian friends ? 🤷🏽♀️ what about that bust up they had ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wonder where all Brian's family were 😅
Deirdrie isnt the best to guve men advise
6 hours is long enough to get defrosted 😅
Poor Gail. No chin. No shoulders.
