I was born this month. Seems so long ago, and it IS so long ago. 58 years to be precise. My Mum and Dad just both died this year, within eight weeks of each other. Really, really missing them like hell. We used to have some real laughs together, take the Mickey out of all the Coronation St characters. I hope Mum and Dad are reading this in the Ether! Love 💕 you Mummy and Daddy. . . I bet you’re young and good looking again, and together as Dad told me earlier this evening. 💕💗💓❤️😍🥰😘🥳🦋💕 I love you both forever 💕🦋❤️💓💗🦄🦚🙏🙏🙏🥰

My Mother used that same insult for years "You know your trouble don't you, you're common, you're bloody common".. Only trouble was , she was as well.. 😁

☺☺☺

[@robertdoherty2001]

Never did I dream I’d get to see the very earliest episodes; surprised they even still exist. Reasonable quality, too considering they’re live broadcast kinescopes.

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

They were recorded "As live", which meant that they filmed each one in one or maybe two chunks to be broadcast later. They weren't broadcast live.

[@davidhumphrey1040]

Good to have you back Auntie Corrie, you've been missed by many

[@alisongrace4334]

True. 🥰

[@jenniferlewis7710]

yes very misses

Pat Pheonix rocks!🤘❤👑

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

In a magazine interview towards the end of her life, she said that she'd have liked to have played Lady Macbeth. I'd have liked to have seen her play the part.

[@CyberSlammer2024]

It's also quite shocking that Harry has stuck Lucille in an orphanage when she's not an orphan and he spends his evenings in the pub. He could have paid Esther to do daytime childcare and looked after her in the evening. I guess in 1960 single fathers weren't a social option

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

I don't know for sure, but I don't think Harry put her there. As you say, single fathers weren't an option in those days. Social services would rather split a family up than go against the social norm.

[@CyberSlammer2024]

@@gilgameshofuruk4060 yes that's a good point

[@TheLows-gk6kc]

​@@gilgameshofuruk4060 Yes exactly, my grandfather's first wife died and his two daughters were put in a orphanage run by nuns , it was the norm then. When he remarried they came home.

[@britboyrugby]

I’ve been wanting to see these old episodes for ages. Thank you!

[@carolineg1872]

Ena Sharples, the quintessential battleaxe.

[@whyayetv]

Ken Barlow wasn’t under 21 as he and his father state. He was born 9 October, 1939.

[@rubydawn1]

great acting i am thinking about now the people that watched it back in England must have gathered around to watch it back in 1960

[@carolineg1872]

Thank you for these uploads Auntie Corrie. Before I was born but still quality viewing. ❤

[@helengazzara8725]

Well come on, Caroline! Did you actually read what you wrote? A little naively entitled. 😏

[@carolineg1872]

@shiteusername I was born in 1966 so only 6 years after it began so not that outrageous of a point.

[@carolineg1872]

@@helengazzara8725 And a little silly to think that you knew when I was born.

[@carolineg1872]

@shiteusername 1982? Lol, a mere stripling.

[@danrobinson572]

Why is the girl living in an orphanage home and where is her mom? Is she from London? She got a different accent than the others?

[@dianelesley]

Amazing. Thank you for uploading 😊

[@njeevans5768]

9:34 corrie is on the TV in the background, I can hear the theme 😉

Ur right it was.

[@connielincoln8681]

Ty auntie luv these episodes all the way from nz

[@4evernate28]

I wonder why the “Teddy Boys” scene was cut out.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Christine still has her Christmas Tree up! Bit late ( especially as it wasn’t a good Christmas for her anyway!)

[@obrien6320]

Noticed they moved the "glad tidings hall" from across the street from the corner shop next to the Rovers.

[@stevek6432]

Ken's dad said he was under 21, Ken was born October 1939 so would have been 21 in October 60

William Roache was in the army ‘National Service’.

What is the song sung in the final seconds before the end credits? It sounds like the U.S. Marine Corps Hymn, but with different lyrics.

Lol, Elsie's fancy man, he looks more like Ena's husband than Elsie's

[@haighsbakery4410]

Lovely show

[@alisongrace4334]

Was Mr Hewitt supposed to be handsome?

[@louisaeggleton3426]

Harry really needs to pack that suitcase more nicely. It seems weird now that you would let an orphanage raise your child when the mum has passed away. I guess it’s like a boarding school. Talking war makes war. Hmmm, hopefully talking peace will make peace then. If you’ve got secrets, you been have them addressed elsewhere. Ha! Young people considered as children until 21. I guess that’s why Arthur wanted Linda to leave so he could talk to the grown-ups even though she is married and pregnant (I guess her character must be under 21). My casting on is quite loopy too. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s a shame there isn’t more knitted baby clothes these days but I believe it’s making a bit of a resurgence. You go Ken! According to coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_9_(6th_January_1961),

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

I don't think a single father like Harry would have been encouraged to bring up a girl alone. Social services probably insisted on her going into an orphanage. "Well, what does a man know about raising a girl? There's things she needs to hear from a woman. No, best place for her is an orphanage."

[@AndrewLawsonjughead67]

Lucille looks like Anne Frank 😶😁

[@danrobinson572]

Why is the little girl not living with her father and where is her mom?

I see so many complaints re the old and the new... but honestly, it was as crap then as it is now.... but I am happy to rewatch this old stuff, I was only three and a half years old when this was broadcast
