    Thank you for this ! Corrie was great.Sadly it is now so bad.I watched it religiously until 5 years ago then its decline was rapid.Same with Emmerdale. Sad!

      Same here. Haven't seen it for a number of years. They started knocking off so many characters I loved and It got very American soap with outlandish stories. Oh well. Nothing ever stays the same.

    The funeral procession at the beginning of part 2 is such a sad moment, beautifully filmed, almost documentary in style. It places the fictional Coronation Street in the real world environment of the day.

      I too was very taken with the haunting quality of the funeral sequence when I first saw this video a few weeks ago.
      Very well done by the Coronation Street production team and cast of 1964

    What a superb actress Violet Carson was. Her delivery is sometimes faster than a machine gun.
    The line: "I've known you since your bum nearly showed through your bloomers Lily Longhurst as was" is particularly slick. Wow.

    How did such a long lasting and engaging show that was well written and with acting that defied it being a mere soap lose it’s way so badly. I stopped watching about 6 years ago when I realised I was no longer interested or invested in the characters or plots. Occasionally I may catch an episode and dear lord how it has deteriorated into utter drivel, thin plots and boring unreal characters. Thanks for this, I saw every episode from the start up to my giving up. Wonderful memories, great characters and truly so well observed.

    Coronation Street was a lot better them days. More grittier characters. I think coronation Street has lost its identity not the same any more. No Elsie Tanners or Mrs sharpies Annie Walkers of this world.. And may I add. Proper Northerns. Not like the ones of today. I wish for the old days. But I know that it's lost a thing of the the past a distant memory

    The most idiotic decision in Corrie history (excluding nowadays of course when it's all idiotic) was the killing of Martha Longhurst, thus destroying that wonderfully funny trio and depriving us all of so much more fun.

    In real life Lynne Carol (Martha Longhurst) was a very elegantly dressed lady, with lovely dark wavy hair, and was only in her forties, very clever actress to play someone in their late sixties, even Martha's round glasses were only props, and had no lenses in! Did i hear right, did Ena Sharples say to Lily "i remember you when yer bum nearly showed through yer bloomers Lily Longhurst"

    People make me laugh, saying Corrie isn't the same as it was then. NO it isn't because nothing is the same as it was, we are not the same as we were however much we wish differently. Corrie had bad storylines then just as it does now, but it's still good. Ì've watched it almost from the start too and I was around in 1960 even though very young. In those days there weren't many youngsters in it, even though many were around in reality, we have to suspend belief in TV sometimes just as we have to in films. It aint a documentary.

      @fluxington 3 месяца назад +2

      I agree to a point and have left a similar comment somewhere else, but I think you're forgetting that people watching do 'believe' in what they're watching to some degree. My point is that today's Corrie reflects a modern society, which for many people is degenerate and broken compared to the past.

      True, but it is truly shite now so I’m assuming that art reflecting life confirms what I’ve felt for the last few years - life truly is shite these days. We are richer, have more “stuff”, are allegedly healthier although hugely fatter, allegedly better fed and yet somehow it’s still very shite … sorry.

      This part of Salford was cleared in the early 1960s and the population moved out to Little Hulton, Coronation Street survived where the rest of the city was lost. A super sequence.
