I didn't notice, too engrossed in the episode. Thank You very much for uploading. Loved it🎉 Best scenes for me again involved Elsie and Alan. When Alan shouts to Elsie "Are you decent?" and comes in. Elsie says he didn't wait for answer. Sandra loved it when she realised they had a date on New Years Eve and spreads the gossip to Irma and Annie. You can see why Irma doesn't want to ask Alan for a job for Stan in front of Annie. Fab scene was Alan telling Elsie she had 8 mins left on her lunch hour and not to be late. That was to let her know that going out with the Boss doesn't mean she can take liberties if that was what she was thinking. Aww Bless, Minnie wanting to be a Hostess and give out biscuits and work for free. Really enjoyed all these Dec 69 episodes. Thank You so much once again, Fabulous 🎉 Have you got please the episode early July 1970, the 2 episodes following your upload,where Elsie changes her mind and realises she loves Alan ?
@@mariabrabiner7491 Glad you enjoyed them! My current plans are to focus on the 1965 episodes I have left. The Steve Harris channel is doing 1970 eps at the moment and I’m hoping they are going to cover that era very soon. I recommended to them that they continue with the 1970 eps as I know you and a few others are very keen to see the July 1970 episodes. If not then I’m happy to process and upload them at some point once I’m done with the 1965 eps. Only thing is I don’t have a source for the 8th July episode currently.
@kaiserwilhelmi6405 I'm enjoying the 1965 episodes. Some good stuff in there. Just shows you, the episodes that are on the Dvd's have some of the best left off. Totally understand you wanting to finish those. 13th & 15th July I should imagine are equally dramatic to the 8th if you have those. I've seen the b/w episode, one before the wedding. I've not seen the episode directly following the wedding. As for Dec 69, the only two I had were off the official releases : 17th Dec & Xmas Eve. New Years Eve is up there with the best of them. I just appreciate any you can upload. Thank You as always🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Manchester was my world in those days. I’m 78 now, and it’s changed beyond recognition, and in some ways not for the good. It was quiet, no mobile phones, TV that reflected our world and people we could identify with. The American influence that crept in was exciting and modern. Since then we have lost our own identity, from all over the world foreign influences have caused massive changes to the point where we don’t know who we are anymore. The younger generations have a lot to cope with and I don’t envy them .
On a positive note, the younger generation will accept the world as it is. It will just be normal for them. It's us oldies that really struggle with the change, and remember times as they were.
Wise words, We have reclaim our way of Life our Traditions and Culture of Maori and British Heritage as we know as the UK, Then Australia and Our Brothers and Sisters from the Pacific Islands as we have Melded Our People's over Time for better or worse ONE, in short let us not dilute our selves to Foreign gods.
How amazing ! We were transfixed by this series here in Australia. So lovely to see Ena, Minnie, Mrs Walker, and Elsie in gorgeous living colour!! The people we grew up with. Thankyou so much.
I watched these as a parochial school kid living in Kent in the 1960’s. They made me decide to go to a northern university. I never regretted it. It broadened my outlook, enriched my life and gave me some wonderful friends. I doubt whether any TV program today could be so influential on a naive adolescent.
Watching this makes me wish not everything had 'moved with the times' especially when the times we've moved into are so awful. I've no tv now.... got rid many years ago thankfully. Loved watching this though...thank you
A trip down memory Lane, with the luxury of seeing it in colour! Ena and Mini Jack and Annie Hilda, Stan and Irma, Elsie Tanner I remembered them all, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks for posting... i loved watching this, tho it kind of makes me sad all these people that are no longer with us and family that have passed since watching these together. Still brings back very fond memories, thank you 🙏
@josimpson7999 thank you, you're very kind to say 🙏 the Christmas episodes get me especially as these episodes were a mandatory family occasion... again wonderful times that went by so quickly and I'm guilty of not really appreciating them at the time.
Just a handful of actors appear in this episode. Minnie seeing 70 New Years in- taking her right back to the turn of the 20th century! 55 years ago, it was a different world.
The story line was always pretty mundane - no major often ridiculous crises each and every episode as with current UK soaps. And it wasn’t the plots that drew you in, but the characters and the banter. It made me realize just how impoverished the language has become. They use turns of phrase and idioms you never hear these days - but were commonplace 50 years ago. That’s why I’ll be back for more.
It was an event in granny’s house where I stayed, tea and biscuits ready and dare anyone knock on door or ring landline.. me, granny and all my uncles, my father too, especially now Christmas time. All long passed on now and soon I retire.. Thanks for remembering a long passed time and era.🧐🇮🇪
What a blast from the past. I loved this programme with all the 'old' characters in it. Grew up watching this. What a shame that so many things are different now. Progress? Matter of opinion.
Lovely Mini,I am probably older now than Mini was then but I still have such fond memories of her.How we all cried when she quietly passed way in the snug.😊
I hadn't realised Corrie was in colour by 1969. (We didn't get a colour telly until the mid seventies). I wasn't a consistent watcher so I didn't even know that the Ogden's had children. That Irma was quite a character. It's a pity there was some kind of falling out between the actress Sandra Gough and the producers, which led to the character being written out when Sandra walked out in 1971.
Fantastic again, thanks so much, I listen on headphones and the sound's great! I love the Ogdens with Irma present. Her closeness to her father (much closer than to her mother), which doesn't stop her criticising him very strongly, is so interestingly done. Irma was a fantastic character, brilliantly played, she should have returned a few months later with her baby having split from David, opening the door for single mother plots, not common in 1970, and the possibility of David's eventual return if the actor changed his mind about not doing so - a rare plotting mistake from those days I reckon. The scene with Irma and Ena was so so sensitively written and wonderfully acted by them both. Ena's line, 'It always comes down to folk in the end', is marvellous - and of course it's absolutely as true about life in 2024 as it was then. To think this has been hidden from us for nearly 54 years! Thanks once again.
I REMEMBER IT WELL THOSE WERE THE DAYS THE GOOD OLD DAYS I WAS 15 AT THE TIME I THINK IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE FIRST EPISODE WAS IN 1963 IN BLACK AND WHITE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME AND I WAS LIVING IN HORWICH NR BOLTON LANCASHIRE I AM A FARNWORTH BOLTONIEN LACASTRIEN ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm sure that the 1st episode was 1960. (I was 10 years old!) We were hooked from then on but I don't watch the rubbish it has become! Thanks for this.
I watched the very first episode aged 8 in 1960…. It was advertised for weeks as a new northern gritty program. And if I remember right it was originally planned for a 6 week run to see if it worked … Now here we are 64 years later. The storylines are no where near as good as they were back then, apart from the odd murder or tram accident that is 😉
They look the same age really but it’s just that one is slightly made-up and one is dressed quite frumpy with a hairnet. Take the props away and you can see they were a similar age.
That's never clicked with me but yes...Sally is like Hilda.ive always thought that Sally is pretty and Hilda wasn't.plain was she.she.had a sweet little face.
I have two Irma's in my life. I am redundant and seeking employment, this close to Christmas I am struggling to get even seasonal work. My teens are on at me day and night 🤣
When this episode aired originally I was a 10 year old watching this on a B&W console television. I was checking out a post from a fellow who was commenting from the British point of view. About how much has changed and how the "American influence" was coming into thier lives and how exciting it was and modern with opportunities and adventures yet to come. I found it interesting because I was on the exact opposite point of view - if you will....I was watching from a Canadian point of view. I'm a Canuck whose parents emigrated to Ontario in 1954. We also had the "American Influence", as we have America ( as some British refer to the U.S.), living in our Basement - so to speak. Yes in the early Seventies it seems now that it was another bloody world. Everything has changed whether you're in Britain or in London, Ontario ( and our river is of course " the THAMES , I kid you not ). Yes change it has. I often wonder what this world is going to look like for the folks who are youthful today. Can it possibly undergo as massive a reshaping and metamorphous as we " oldies" experienced ? It doesn't seem possible. But I fear that this line of reflection has been occuring every few generations or so..... It remains to be seen...JRS. "
Likely an oversight on the writers part. Seems she was credited with her maiden name from the 22 Dec episode until the actress left again on 31st dec. Similar thing happened with Elsie still being credited as “Tanner” until mid 1971 despite her having married Alan Howard the previous year.
Wow that smog in the opening shots looks horrific , I'll bet it was terrible, or maybe they just didn't know, or cared. ❤❤❤. Love you Hilda Ogden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
This episode suffers from poor audio quality I’m afraid. I hope it doesn’t spoil viewing much.

Stan and Hilda Ogden the greatest soap characters ever.
Jack and Vera were certainly contenders
The Ducks, brilliant.
Wow.. Classic. I was a new born baby when this went out.. Im turned 55,now.. I wish i this age, back then.. 😢
Me too, 2 months old!
Aww, Minnie Caldwell, bless her. A simple soul with a heart of gold. X
🥺 She really tugs at my heartstrings
Wish I could go back and give her big cuddle, a sweet lovable lady.❤
I was 19 years old at this time. God rest the Corrie actors. We loved you x Salford lad…
I'd forgotten just how good Coronation street really was
Oh my goodness. I was about 9 when this aired. I thought Hilda and Elsie were so old, but now they look younger than me 😲

no they are always here.. hooray
The good old days when life stories were brilliant and well acted
it use to be live too
I was 9 when we all watched this as a family... grandparents and mum are gone now.
Same here😢
Same age, watched with my grandparents who I adored sadly not here any longer 😢.
Classic much better than today's episodes. It makes u realise there life is just as dull as yours. Nice

Just know that you are seen.
Or even or guns shot
Absolutely loved watching this...Ah by heck the good old days...the music really gets me..Thanks for the memories...😍

There was a Triumverate in the Snug: Ena Sharples, Martha Longhurst and Minnie Caldwell all drinking milk stout.😊😊😊❤❤❤

Amazing in colour we only had a black and white TV
Did colour come in more early 1970's ?
@markgreet3543 1967on BBC 2 then 1969 BBC 1 and
@stievboyo636 ok thanks for information. Cheers.
It took until July 1976 for the whole of ITV when the Channel Television was the last
@@markgreet3543 most of the regions received their colour services by 1971 though the channel Islands received their service in 1976.
Who wouldn’t love Minnie Caldwell ?
I love her but a character like that in reality would be considered to be away with the fairies.
It would now
No problems. Thanks so much for posting! Love it!
Look at Patricia phoenix isn't she a beauty really stunning
Er no
I met her once. I was suprised at her small stature.
She was gorgeous--and I loved her fabulous clothes.
As a child I always remembered that little black dog sniffing on the pavement, I felt so sorry for it. Watching it now brings back those memories.
50 years later and I want to see what happens next!
Thank you so very much for sharing all that you have, means so much to me, blessings from Belfast.
blimey, Stan walking around in late December with his shirt opened to his naval.
Pat Phoenix was a stunning looking lady i never saw this so much when i was younger but im 58 now and see her beauty with new eyes ❤
It was an event in granny’s house where I stayed, tea and biscuits ready and dare anyone knock on door or ring landline.. me, granny and all my uncles, my father too, especially now Christmas time.
All long passed on now and soon I retire..

My great gran had one of those beds built into the wall with a curtain, remember it, I still have the small stool she used to get in and out of it.
Lovely Mini,I am probably older now than Mini was then but I still have such fond memories of her.How we all cried when she quietly passed way in the snug.😊
I think that it was Martha Longhurst who died in snug.
I loved watching this, takes me right back. What great characters and all so young looking
It was good to see Hilda and Stan again, I cried when Stan Died sopy git I am. Don’t watch this anymore, was great to see this blast from the past.
The sound was fine to me and I do notice when I listen to radio stories if it's bad .. Great job doing these ..Thankyou
Didn't expect to see it filmed in colour, since most didn't really have colour then. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

Month later I was born Jan 1970 classic coronation street
I'm surprised nobody mentioned it😊

Don't know what brought me here; but actually that wasn't too bad...first time watching !!!

This was when Coronation street had some quality. Not like the garbage it’s become today.
Totally agree...woke preachy trash for last few years
Loved Elsie Tanner.....tart with a heart...
Her son Dennis cracked us up every time...
Irma's voice makes me laugh!
When Britain was British. X
What’s that’s supposed to mean?
You know what it means
You mean white?
@@stevec2993yes🏴
"He (Stan) hasn't got a cup of tea!" Classic
I was ten years old that day x
To think Annie Walker and Ena Sharples were near enough the same age
They look the same age really but it’s just that one is slightly made-up and one is dressed quite frumpy with a hairnet. Take the props away and you can see they were a similar age.
Probably the last time I watched Coronation St !
I can't help but notice on most of these early episodes, 60s and into 70s a lot of actors have problems with the doors 😊
Doors were only introduced in 1964, so it's hardly surprising
The acting was brilliant. This is when Coronation Street was at its best! Please take me back because I hate 2024 😢
No problems with the sound. Just another classic and enjoyable CS episode. The post coach crash episodes up to New years Eve 1969 are TV
Was about 18 months old, when this was aired...lol
Elsie left her keys in the front door.
Maybe on purpose?
The post coach crash episodes up to New year's Eve 1969 are 48 carat TV
Sally on Corrie always reminds me of Hilda. She's a dead ringer for Hilda!
That's never clicked with me but yes...Sally is like Hilda.ive always thought that Sally is pretty and Hilda wasn't.plain was she.she.had a sweet little face.
How great to watch this!
Hi everyone I remember watching this wihen I was 1o year's old on a cold Christmas night and my mam cooking the Christmas dinner
Before the sensationalist storylines of today
Coronation street was banned in our house growing up. My parents would go crazy if they found me or my sister watching it. Lol
Thought that was Chairman Mao in bed at the start. Also liked morning tea!
Minnie was so sweet.
This was before I was born.
That day was my 5th birthday.
I was 5 two months later - 4th of March. I was just about to start school when this was shown.

I can't get over how young Hilda Ogden looks
Great dialogue and no jiggery wokery!
Why do the credits say Irma Ogden when her name is Barlow?
Likely an oversight on the writers part. Seems she was credited with her maiden name from the 22 Dec episode until the actress left again on 31st dec. Similar thing happened with Elsie still being credited as “Tanner” until mid 1971 despite her having married Alan Howard the previous year.
I still think Irma could be a young Vera Duckworth.
I've aways had a thing for Hilda...
This is good stuff.
Good job they had the football teams there then. GRIM n GREY place to live in back then by the looks
Opening scene. Making a "pot of tea" lol so English.

I stopped 5 years ago so woke and preachy
Ahhhh❤❤❤ just not the same as it was
My Gawd, Corornation Street…wortever will they think orf next!!!
At 16.00 Minnie talks to Elsie with her back to her. That only ever happened in soaps. Thankfully you don’t often see that ridiculous pose any more.
Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) was a beautiful woman , and from then to now, nobody has come close to her beauty on the street.
