Sad news today as we hear the great Johnny Briggs has sadly passed away. Johnny the Iconic, legendary Michael Vernon Baldwin who was involved in the greatest Corrie story of all, the Mike, Ken, Deirdre love triangle which thanks to these videos us die hard fans are able to watch over and over again. Johnny Briggs RIP.
@@masterknife8423 Are you joking? Mike Baldwin was a wonderful character! He hit the ground running in 1976, and thanks to the talent of actor Johnny Briggs, arrived as a fully-formed, complex and totally believable character. In Johnny Briggs' hands, Mike Baldwin remained authentic throughout his 30 years on the show. Producer Bill Podmore also arrived as new producer that year to shake up the soap, and he immediately decided it needed a big Southern character to shake up the cobbled streets, inject some dynamism, and to represent all the Southern viewers at home. He saw Johnny Briggs on rival teatime soap 'Crossroads' and immediately recognised he fit the bill perfectly for the role of the new, suave London factory boss. Johnny Briggs could have made Mike a one-dimensional caricature - the hard-nosed, Cockney capitalist businessman. But in his first year alone he brought light and shade to Mike and made him real. To maintain that standard of performance and characterisation over three decades is a remarkable achievement for an actor - all credit to the late, great Johnny Briggs. I had to smile when I read that there may not have been quite so much acting required in his angry scenes with Bill Roache, who played Mike's arch enemy Ken Barlow - apparently the two men didn't get on in real life!
Mike Baldwin was a marvellous character, very important to the storylines. Wouldn’t have been the same without him. I’m sure all of us die hard corrie fans would agree.
The Ken, Deirdre, Mike love triangle. One of the best storylines from the past 60 yrs of Corrie. I remember these very well, I was 16 at the time and deep in to my Corrie. Another generation ago now, the characters may have gone but the memories go on forever. Thanks for the posting.
@@mr-yw2jb I'm praying that famous episode - Ken's discovery of Deirdre and Mike's affair - can be shown on RUclips. i know in the past it hasn't been uploaded, because Granada would block it on copyright grounds. The most famous Corrie episodes are always the trickiest to show here, without them being taken down. I would love to see it again - it's been so long!
@@glamdolly30 Yes, I totally agree. The various channels that have dared upload classic episodes of Corrie only to be shot down in flames by the stuffy beaurocrats waving the copyright card. If some epsiodes weren't shown here on youtube it's doubtful they would ever get another airing.
I never really realised it at the time, but Ken Barlow really was an insufferable pompous bore! No wonder Deirdre strayed. Imagine letting your wife down for a documentary on channel 4!
A very excellent characterisation a (Johnny Briggs) indeed. Credit to to producers, writers and Johnny. He was born to play Mike. The Ken, Deidre and Mike storyline is indeed one for the ages.
The Deirdre and Mike story added a little bit of spice to Coronation Street . And very believable for a young, very attractive, woman, married to quite a boring man, and Mike Baldwin was the suave suitor. And I actually think he had real feelings for Deirdre. The actress that played the part looked particularly good around this time.
That's very true! Though of course miserable Uncle Albert disapproved of every woman and found fault in her - even Emily Bishop, who was as close to Mother Theresa as any female could be! So you're right, and he'd have had plenty to criticise in R. Tracey - and my God he would have criticised!
Loving these episode bundles! Eagerly awaiting the rest of 1983 but absolutely no pressure(!) I know the time it takes to do these things.. when you're finished your tea and crumpets 😅
The brief affair between Suzie Birchl and Brian was just several months after in the Summer of that year I think ' after her estranged husband tracks her down and beats her up when she refuses to go back to London with him ' her fling with Brian was the final straw for Elsie who threw her out on the spot.
There’s a lass in my area who looks like Deidre…similar hair, skin and glasses. I fancy her like crazy. I got talking to her and she even sounds like her!!! Eerie
37:03 Did Bernard (Stan) forget his line as a sign of his illness and Jean (Hilda) improvises her next line around the storyline of the pub being short staffed hence the end of the scene cutting.
The scene in the Rover's, when Annie lays down the law to Bet, Betty, and Fred . . . this is the third time I've seen it, and it gets better every time.
Watching in 2024. I remember being sent to bed as a child so my Mum and Nana could watch the street in peace. I hated the theme tune! 😅 Then I grew up and became as addicted as them, both sadly gone now, I was a die hard fan up to four years ago, when I lost interest in the characters and storylines. Being able to relive these episodes is golden ❤
There's more chance of Emily and Mavis spending the afternoon supping pints, and chucking arrows, than Len thumping Brian. Or anybody else, for that matter.
Despite the scandal which befell Peter Adamson he played the part of Len Fairclough really well. Had things been different he could have remained in the show into the 1990s and become a Corrie legend.
Not very bright of Deirdre ( who didn’t want to be found out) to ring Mike at work! I mean apart from Emily, there’s also Ivy who could’ve taken the call ( and doesn’t Hilda still clean there? If SHE’D overheard...!)
No, they'd probably have turned her into the same dysfunctional freakshow they turned Gail and Deirdre into: 12 husbands, devil children, spell in prison, every new lover or job right there on the doorstep, etc.
Imagine young deidre marry ken almost twice her age, bust up her first marriage because of infidelity turns around and finds a reason to commit the same act,she thought Ken was too old and stable to do it back,but he did eventually did back what his ex wife did him too,history repeats it self!😂😂😂😂
I remember that old City of Salford logo on Eddie's bin wagon in the late 1980s as a little kid They had them on the local school signs around Worsley, where we lived The wheelie bins came in around 1988, we used to hide in them when they were delivered and unused It's been years since I've been in the area
@robclark4507 We lived in Roe Green actually. And we left the Greater Manchester area many years ago whilst I was a kid. I haven't been in the area since 2005
This is the year I was born, 7 my months time, July 14th 1983 in London, 2 years later, Eastenders is on its way, I’ve got an autograph Helen plays Gail, but I lost it, 🥲🥲, I met her at the Premier of Phantom of the Oprea movie in London Leicester Square in 2004, Ken sits, does not suite him, lol 🤪😂😈, I can imagine Ken nearly the same as Uncle Albert now, the two old men be moaning about nonsense, but Ken will be Ken lol 🤪😂😈 if you know what I mean, I know the actor I think had stroke and died the next year in 1984 and the guy who played Stanley had a stroke and died in 1984, sad, 😢 I’ve been to Manchester in 1994 and I have not been there since 1994, I will be going back there soon.
2:43:25 ??? Any idea what Uncle Albert is saying, up to where Deirdre goes out of shot? Edit - ok, he asks if he can have lunch early because Herbert Whitehead is in hospital. Visiting hours or something.
Yes, - He says ... " They've taken Herbert Whitehead to hospital,and visiting hours are 2 till 3.They say he's in for tests,and it worries me, I mean it's the third time he's been in.What are they testing for? ,that's what I want to know "
Deidre thought ken would be old faithful and reliable, she married for security, he married to trap this young woman from dating other men.,didn't work either way.😂😂😂😂
Emily schooling deidre about cheating on ken,oh plz,Emily is kens age mate,this is deidre's 20',he damn near 50,the time to talk has past,let that child enjoy!😂😂😂
Deirdre “ I just thought I’d go round and see-Carol.’ Mike’s female name...would’ve been better if she’d said “I just thought Id go and see...Michelle.”
I remember being really chuffed when they brought Suzie back, but then they got rid of her again in very little time. What did Gail have that Suzie and Tricia Hopkins didn't?
Bert was a great character. A real balance for Ivy and told Brian what’s for a few times !These episodes were after he had had a stroke, and his health was going downhill very rapidly.
Ivy “ I’m sick of this job, I am! Y’ get shot at from both sides!” Can imagine the evening chat when she gets home. Bert “How was work today my sweet?” Ivy “ Ohh, I’m goin’ to stop goin’ in soon, Bert!”
Little? Brian was tall and lean ' and muscle bound ' I think Len would have been a match for him ' even though Brian would have won a scrap being younger and fitter.
He's the most unpleasant character I've ever seen. Most characters tend to have at least one good point in their favour, but there is nothing good in that man.
1:28:45 I, didn't realise that Len hadn't paid Bryan for the service on Lens van either. Bang out of order. First time I ever saw Len in Corrie he made my skin crawl. Even before all the tabloid problems he caused other members off screen and then the swimming pool incident (off screen). I, just saw him walking around with half his shirt buttons undone, thinking he is Gods gift to women and laughing at him. Vile individual. Died alone, aged 72, of stomach cancer in 2006 as far as I am aware.
Today's Coronation Street isn't fit to bear the name. Thankyou so much for these wonderful episodes and the memories they bring back.
You got that right. Too many dodgy characters and too much violence.
So true 👍
@@christinefougere Er dude this era of Coronation St had violence as well...
@@masterknife8423 Today's Coronation Street is unwatchable, dude.
Absolutely spot on with your comments I couldn’t agree more.
What a cast - it's so so sad that before 1983 was over, (and in 1984 too) so many of them were gone forever, and the show never ever recovered.
No it didn’t recover. Some reasonable storylines through the 80s, but after that, it really wasn’t worth watching in my opinion anyway.

@@glamdolly30well said my friend 😊
Up til here approximately 140 hrs of Classic Corrie has been edited, rendered and posted. Now I'm gonna have some tea and crumpets.
And an excellent job you're doing. Keep up the excellent work as my lockdown would be incomplete without Hilda and Stan.
Thank you for all your hard work. Would it be possible for you to upload episodes from mid to late 80s?
And very well deserved too, thank you SO much for all your hard work, you're a superstar. Have a drop of brandy in that tea, you've earned it! xxx
You do a grand service to the nation by posting these! You deserve those crumpets and t’tea!
Well done. Much appreciated for all the work you do to post these videos.
Love the old episodes. Great story lines & realistic acting ….. lots of happy memories of watching them when they first aired ❤
Binge watching in 2024. These episodes are gold. They don't make them like this anymore. Thank you for uploading them Professionalgun!!
Me Too,🇨🇦🐝👋🏻
Annie Walker a legend.
Wish I had neighbours like hilda and Stan there will never be a dull moment
Stan and Hilda are amusing in a soap but as Jean Alexander said, I wouldn't want Hilda as a neighbour.

Watch Buggernation street
there were some good documentaries on channel 4 back then.
The Good Old Days of Corrie..... The Story lines and Characters were great back then !!
I'm really enjoying. I hope you'll be putting more on soon! I'm addicted!
Thankyou for all your hard work, great job,
Love these old corries🤩😍
A very excellent characterisation a (Johnny Briggs) indeed. Credit to to producers, writers and Johnny. He was born to play Mike. The Ken, Deidre and Mike storyline is indeed one for the ages.
Hilda played being drunk really well. I love these older episodes 👍 👍 👍
I love Chalky and Phyllis’ exchanges 🤣
Great editing, lovely and smooth, thanks.
I had never watched Coronation Street before as not big in Australia but am addicted to thee 70s and 80s episodes .. just every day life
Thanks so much for your efforts professional gun… it’s a real treat having all these episodes .. ❤
Fred can talk about being big and fat 🤬 he was so rude to Betty
That's Rodney Bewes's voice coming out of Ken's TV. Likely Lads?
yes.. that's right. That's what I thought too
Yep it was. Well recognised
Mike said he wasn't dependable or reliable, but Ken wasn't, the only thing you could depend on is if it did not suit him it didn't happen.
Eileen Derbyshire is an amazing actress
She's played the same person for the last 55 years apart from that yeah...
extraordinarily subtle and nuanced always
Classic!!!!
Thank in you for a great upload
Bet and Alf bloody brilliant together 😂😂
The scene at 37:11 is one of the best in Coronation Street. Deirdre is clearly wrestling with her feelings over Mike, Ken and everything
The Deirdre and Mike story added a little bit of spice to Coronation Street . And very believable for a young, very attractive, woman, married to quite a boring man, and Mike Baldwin was the suave suitor. And I actually think he had real feelings for Deirdre. The actress that played the part looked particularly good around this time.
Sad this was the start of the last year of Annie Walker- she was on top form. And by the end of the year Len would be gone - when did Albert die??
Not sure exactly ' but can research ' think 83 or 84.
Annie was my favourite, yes such a shame it was last year. Poor Doris . Loved Annie's snobbery & superiority.
Loved Annie. Legend.
I need a lie down, I can feel one of my heads coming on. FOR FUCKS SAKE SHE NEVER DID A TAP IN THAT PUB.
Mike “ Girls, look at Sammy and tell me what ‘e is.”
Ivy “Are you trying to get us in front of a race relations board?”
Bet..brilliant ❤
Uncle Albert would be horrified at how Tracey turns out
He was a cantankerous, ignorant,tight fisted scrounging old git.never could stand him or the pompous prig Barlow.
That's very true! Though of course miserable Uncle Albert disapproved of every woman and found fault in her - even Emily Bishop, who was as close to Mother Theresa as any female could be!
So you're right, and he'd have had plenty to criticise in R. Tracey - and my God he would have criticised!
@@glamdolly30 He liked Val. He even liked Janet.
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert, if we caused you any pain . . .

@@paulfrost8895 Spoiler alert!
Was anyone as happy as I was when Fred Gee was written out?
Bet and Hilda are so funny at there work party
Good one Deidre, Ken wont cancel his plans for her, yet he wants her to cancel her plans for him
Sad to see Deirdre looking so lovely knowing that she has been gone quite some time now!
She was very attractive. Lovely skin.
There’s a lass in my area who looks like Deidre…similar hair, skin and glasses. I fancy her like crazy. I got talking to her and she even sounds like her!!! Eerie
Chalky bloody brilliant
I love the accents of Chalky and Phyllis
Phyllis was originally a music hall performer ... she was great!
37:03 Did Bernard (Stan) forget his line as a sign of his illness and Jean (Hilda) improvises her next line around the storyline of the pub being short staffed hence the end of the scene cutting.
Deirdre could never resist a portion
Vera (comes in and sees Mike looking at a photo and smiling). “Is that a photo of me y’ carry round with yer’?” 🤣🤣🤣
Haha 😂😂😂
How selfish is Ken, everything is about him what he wants
The scene in the Rover's, when Annie lays down the law to Bet, Betty, and Fred . . . this is the third time I've seen it, and it gets better every time.

Be he a bore or not . No excuse
inverted feminism is ok.
Really wanting to see January 1968 when the hippies come to Coronation Street. Can anyone help?
1:38:26 Elsie + Phyllis comedy gold 😅
Deidre was always a bit of a tart under them specs. 😂😂
Yes deidre liked her dick over the years
Totally haha
I would be a tart if I was married to ken 😂😂
@@bethshields4903haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa good one 😂
@@elsiemaylarson3741 😂😂
I know Phyllis is majorly irritating, but there is no excuse for Chalkie to treat her SO dreadfully. What an arse he is.
You're right he can be but we're just seeing the tail end of their relationship of 14 years or more.
Len and Elsie... A love story
There's more chance of Emily and Mavis spending the afternoon supping pints, and chucking arrows, than Len thumping Brian. Or anybody else, for that matter.
You reckon ' both Len and Brian were pretty handy with their fists ' and both had short fuses.
Despite the scandal which befell Peter Adamson he played the part of Len Fairclough really well. Had things been different he could have remained in the show into the 1990s and become a Corrie legend.
You have GOT to be kidding! The best thing about Corrie in 1983 was when Len was killed off in December. And good riddance, too!
Not very bright of Deirdre ( who didn’t want to be found out) to ring Mike at work! I mean apart from Emily, there’s also Ivy who could’ve taken the call ( and doesn’t Hilda still clean there? If SHE’D overheard...!)
Hilda was like a human newsreel ' very rare did anything escape her attention ' she always knew the latest gossip or street event before anyone.
She has no shame. The tart needed servicing
And surely only an idiot plays away on their own doorstep, unless they want to get caught?
@@stevenhighams4190Well said. 😂😂😂
Fred gets a bad rap. Such a good character
He’s horrible
If you like impatient arrogant people.
Corrosive endomorph
2.28.57 I’m amazed Hilda ( who was there) kept quiet when Bet asked if she should go and fetch Annie!
It's not Emily's business if she's seeing Mike Baldwin. Ken Barlow is so boring.
Suzie, she was a great character, wish she was in it today.
She did bring a sparkle to the show ' just like so many in it's day.
No, they'd probably have turned her into the same dysfunctional freakshow they turned Gail and Deirdre into: 12 husbands, devil children, spell in prison, every new lover or job right there on the doorstep, etc.
I had a huge crush on her back in the day
Imagine young deidre marry ken almost twice her age, bust up her first marriage because of infidelity turns around and finds a reason to commit the same act,she thought Ken was too old and stable to do it back,but he did eventually did back what his ex wife did him too,history repeats it self!😂😂😂😂

I love the way that Fred is so cheeky and the moment Mrs Walker appears he becomes a complete toady.
I remember that old City of Salford logo on Eddie's bin wagon in the late 1980s as a little kid

Wonder how Percy would’ve reacted if Bet said to him what she said to Chalkie. “We all know about you and Phyllis. Hottest romance in Weatherfield.”
Jeez, 1983 when the outside production unit only had a potato and a flashlight!
I think the files being in 360p makes silly people think that TV quality was significantly lower than it actually was.
Deirdre should have married Mike. ❤️
That would have been a disaster

Dreadful character.
Bert was a great character. A real balance for Ivy and told Brian what’s for a few times !These episodes were after he had had a stroke, and his health was going downhill very rapidly.
At his peak,len would have flattened Jaws the mummy's boy.
I totally agree 😊
Yes Ken was a pompous bore and the cardigans he wore!!
Hitler mentioned twice in this episode- in two separate scenes ...
Oh why did they have to bring Suzy back! She's a total waste of space 😮
Deirdre and Baldwin slagging it up. Wait til Barlow brings that Kenergy.
Ivy “ I’m sick of this job, I am! Y’ get shot at from both sides!”
Can imagine the evening chat when she gets home.
Bert “How was work today my sweet?”
Ivy “ Ohh, I’m goin’ to stop goin’ in soon, Bert!”

Poor Bernard Youens (Stan Ogden). Virtually unrecognizable from a decade before.
His poor health is visible by now with arthritis and his speech problem.

Perhaps Mike needs to get down the fancy dress shop.
Fred Gee is getting far too big for his boots. He needs bringing down a peg or two.
He's the most unpleasant character I've ever seen. Most characters tend to have at least one good point in their favour, but there is nothing good in that man.
I have never liked Vera never ever ever the most annoying character on Corrie
