Annie, Elsie and Len reminisce about the earliest days on the Street. Unfortunately I don't have part two. Look for the daft mistake in the very long credits!
When you think Annie Walker aka Doris Speed was around 81 here, she was a bloody marvel! Born in 1899 I believe. Thanks for uploading - a shame the vintage clips were cut out but always a treat to see Elsie Tanner in fine fettle. What a fabulous woman! No feisty soap women like her anymore - more's the pity.
@@davidhodgson2025 Very true, those cheap, thieving, evil scumbags robbed Doris Speed of her privacy, and millions of viewers of her talent. May they rot in HELL for all eternity (and they will!)!
Well if this sort of ancient tripe doesn't quite hit the spot, you can always try out the dubbed version called Buggernation street. Start with episode 3.
I love the subtle way that it's suggested that Len and Elsie are going to sleep together at 6:33 . Thanks for uploading this TVajb, too bad you don't have part two.
'a fella every night' surely not. If she was like that then she should have gone on the game. That would have been socially unacceptable in a soap. Let's hope the fellas left a couple of coppers on mantlepiece for chip shop

glamdolly20 that's makes her younger than ken barlow or Emily bishop now.
When the press found out about her age in real life she passed out
glamdolly20 Well said 😀
Actually... Eileen Grimshaw is pretty feisty 🙂
And to think had Doris speed’s home not be burgled we might of had Annie Walker till the 90s

Thank you very much!
Poor old Peter Adamson (Len). Alcoholism got the better of him when his wife died - after 15 years of being free from the Devil’s urine.

When is this from? A Video special? Or this the episode that came after a strike?
A video special
The first episode was shown on "9 September 1960"?! Shurely shome mistake.
Yes, 9th December 1960
Yes. My Nanny’s first seen this in 1960 they loved it then
Who is 'Lennard Swindley'? surely Leonard?
You're right, his name was actually Leonard, a careless mistake.
Derek Horne Lennard Swindley was played by Arthur Lowe from Dads Army Captain Manering .
