Back in the day when Corrie was brilliant, not the crap of these days.

[@ysgol3]

I LOVE Ena failing to conceal her inner softness near the end. Such a perfect, beautiful episode, all character driven, just as Corrie was for so long and stills should be.

[@dm7761]

So special.....❤ A traditional Christmas pantomime. Lovely to see the combination of scripted performance...and the authentic reaction of the children!

[@roderickscott7429]

Dont really bother about panto but that was fantastic, and the Beatles to finish with , great surprise.

[@mareahmom]

Omg the pantomime was awesome!! Lol

[@connied2451]

Unexpectedly spectacular! Thank you!

[@paulmason6474]

Miss Nugent and Elsie had a great pair of Lallies!

[@annoldham3018]

Love the coconut shells for horse sound effects. Takes you back.

[@helengazzara8725]

Love the way Ena pushes Swindley to one side. 😉

[@jasbegs1258]

Delightful Christmas episode and very with the times (for the day) - ending with the Beatles. I thought for a moment Minnie and Ena were to have a remembering Martha moment.

[@candycane9007]

That was awesomely adorable!

[@MJ69ism]

What a beautiful performance they gave especially Elsie, and the kids are so gorgeous

[@elizabethross-watson9792]

Oh that were grand. Thank you Auntie Corrie 2. I love watching the children, especially with their thumbs in their mouths, lol. xx

[@laurallama73]

Oh. I know! How sweet was that lil fella! ❤️☺️

[@johnbaxter8569]

That was a brilliant episode... It was a complete, chaotic mess and was absolutely fantastic. Happy days...

[@alexanderjones9572]

Ena " Now look. If you make 'er (Minnie) weep, Mr Swindley, I'll bounce Annie Walker's wand on your bald spot." 😂😂😂

[@shanemiles8473]

Ee, it brought tears to me eyes lass. Such a wonderful time. And how camp is Dennis!

[@alexanderjones9572]

Ee, it were great, weren’t it, Chuck...

[@morrieholmes6384]

Love this Christmas classic. Brilliant and they know how to pull a great panto together know that their stage backgrounds. With the beatles at the end it must've that a lone pulled in great ratings let alone the great episode

[@callummorgan896]

Back when coronation street was at its best

[@stevencassidy6982]

Good work this Corrie2!!

[@rickallen6378]

Exquisite; I brilliant to throw in Beatles music, since this is the year that the damn broke for them.

[@williamf4544]

Great show - if Pat Phoenix had been born 10 or 20 years earlier she would have been a huge movie star - bigger than Margaret Lockwood im sure of it

[@pahoboye]

Funnily enough Margaret Lockwood crossed my mind too while watching her here..then I read your comment after watching.

[@bunty6268]

Ooh what a Soooper IDEA!!🤩

[@carolineg1872]

Pat had a lovely set of pins on her.

[@londonlady227]

I did read somewhere that the kids at the panto were children of people who worked on Corrie, the crew etc, and their friends. I believe some of the kids were grandkids of the actors too.

[@1g2e3t4a5m]

thank you so much

[@Uksoapfan]

Good to see Stan Ogden and Mr Swindley in the same scenes, and Swindley guiding Stan and the others at 20:01.

[@clairmarie3130]

Love the Christmas shows. Now someone has to die on christmas

[@winterscribbler6745]

Omg Dennis as buttons is too cute

[@Kidraver555]

That were luvvly, ee bye gum all the kiddly winks singing a beatles song.

[@deanyaschempp]

It's awesome to see the easily acceptable cross dressing on the show in 1964.

[@danrobinson572]

Christmas Eve here in the state’s are big but for some reason New Years Eve party’s are really something over here. Are they big on that over there? Never saw an episode on that.

[@carolineg1872]

@@danrobinson572 Oh sure, huge in the UK, always has been. You've never seen the fireworks display in London? It's also my birthday so it's always a party!

[@annoldham3018]

🤣🤣🤣

[@londonlady227]

You can see the stage training in the older actors, they can project their voices very well and enuniciate. The actress playing Lucille Hewitt was hard to hear and didn't have much presence. And the She Loves You by the Beatles was just a chart topper at the time..not the timeless classic it is now.

[@cliveevans9795]

Lovely

[@danrobinson572]

I’m surprised they didn’t have an episode of New Year’s party. Yes Christmas Eve is special here in the states but New Year’s Eve party are really big.

[@heatheryovanoff6361]

Back in those days New Year wasn't celebrated very much. Christmas was about all that could be managed financially.

[@danrobinson572]

@@heatheryovanoff6361 ok just curious. Over here in America 🇺🇸 NewYear was pretty big.

[@user-gv5bs3os5i]

Wonder where all those kids are todayb

[@markwest3083]

Brilliant

[@philevans8508]

Dennis was so camp

[@serendpity3478]

Pat Phoenix had a crackin' set of pins didn't she? Emily's weren't half bad either.

[@laurallama73]

Right??? I mean, Elsie always had sex appeal in heaps. It was part of her characterization. But, Emily…😣😦🤩 I was like, Jeez! Look at the gams on Emily! Who woulda thunk it???😄

[@moulinrouge5716]

They were a fab pair of pins, on both ladies.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Minnie ( about Lucille) " Ooo, if only 'er daddy were 'ere to see 'er." Where was Harry? It's the following year he dies, isn't it?

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ Alexander Jones: Harry died in September 1967 on Elsie's wedding day, Alexander, trapped under the car he was working on.

[@jasbegs1258]

I think Harry had moved to Ireland at this stage.

[@wcwnumber1fan]

Do you have 30th December 1964 where martha dies

[@stevecharlemagne4496]

Martha Longhurst died on 13th May 1964
