I started watching this show right from the beginning to to the very first episode. Now I’m here and so far it’s been fantastic.

[@jamesshore2987]

I'm warming to Ena, she's more caring than she first lets on. Sharp as a tack too

[@paullynton-green6570]

Indomitable.

[@kevinoldham8421]

I love her to bits.

[@melissakrauss9180]

It's official, I love Minnie Caldwell as I think everybody on Coronation Street does as well. She is very cute, and funny!

[@kevinoldham8421]

Yes. I liked Minnie a lot. I was only 9 when she left the Street but I'll never forget her.🥲

[@gusjackson3658]

I watch it as a boy and came to the same conclusion way back then. The show made me feel rich because it seemed to rain there all time but not at my place. And their homes were so shabby compared to ours. And Minnie was so cute that I thought that I knew her.

[@louiseowusu246]

I agree! She's too cute!

[@stephenguppy3466]

Paris is rioting today, but Coro is the antidote. Thanks for posting. Them were days.

[@marcse7en]

Tony Warren was a GENIUS! And like all the best people, he was gay! Myself included! I love Corrie, and I've been watching since 1971. I would have loved to have met Tony, shook his hand, and told him how much I love Corrie. RIP Tony! 😥

[@vladimirlustblood9694]

Since lockdown I've been binge watching corrie..born in 69 and only.remember snippets up to 78...stopped watching in 2000s because it got bloody stupid and too unbelievable

[@carolineg1872]

Yes and his bf at one point was Ernst Walder aka Ivan Cheveski.

[@woohooboy]

Ena Sharples belonged to that generation where life was hard and nothing was handed to you on a silver platter. To put it into perspective, she lived through two world wars, a global pandemic and a great depression that lasted for years. In other words, one international wide scale disaster after another. She buried children and a husband and still managed to make it through. It did cause her to be cynical and bitter and have a suspicious and judgmental attitude. But she was fiercely loyal and supportive of those who she cared about and the greater community where she lived. Time did temper her bite and she was more mellow and reflective in her later years. Life made that generation tough as boots. You needed to have the fight in you to stay alive. If you wanted it, you better be prepared to fight for it......

[@paulph12002]

I'm sure you have made this exact same comment on other episodes...

[@MrMallorcaboy]

ena sharples also belonged to a generation where almost anyone who wanted to work could get a job and not like today where idiots from the past think everything is handed on a plate. to todays generation.

[@woohooboy]

@@paulph12002 - I don't believe I have. It doesn't make what I said any less true though. But thanks for your input

[@Nidge2013]

I think you maybe missed the most important point, Ena would have been born in to a victorian world where the industrial revolution was still spawning technological advances. Work was dirty, hard and labour intensive. She would probably have had very little schooling and sent to work in a factory at a very young age. To a person who experienced true graft, the excesses of the 60s and 70s must have seemed almost ridiculous

[@woohooboy]

@@Nidge2013 - You're absolutely right!. Ena made it clear the she felt society as a whole was soft and too permissive for her tastes in the 60's. By the 70's she began to mellow out in terms of her overall attitude. Her bark was worse than her bite She knew her time had pass and she now belong to the older generation. She accepted it far better than Albert Tatlock who was the epitome of the "grumpy old man" who had nothing better to do than complain all the time about anything and everything......

[@gusjackson3658]

Emily disguised her good figure with just horrific clothes.

[@rogertemple7313]

"I like the older episodes featuring Mrs. Walker, Ena, Minnie, Stan, Hilda, Albert, Eddie, and the other characters they have all gone to U.K. soap heaven, but they added humor and comedy which wasn't in U.S. soaps.... Classic Coronation Street

[@paullynton-green6570]

Me too mate.classics.

[@popazz1]

When televisions were an item of furniture and not the slimline models we are used to now.

[@gilliangrant8764]

Exactly. I think those huge cinema screens of the modern age are vulgar looking, they take over a whole room, even a big room.

[@lesleygoodall264]

Stan looks so well in this one and funny.

[@nosmoking4933]

Yes I agree. In the late 80s he looked really unwell and I think had arthritis in his neck and you can see he must have been in pain.

[@aidenajarvis6808]

Lesley Goodall - he was in his mid fifties, before he had a major stroke circa 1975.

[@Uksoapfan]

Yes Bernard had a stroke in late Oct 1975. It left him with slurred speech, and thus the character of Stan had slurred speech but there was no on screen explanation for Stan's speech impediment which would have been noticed by Hilda, Eddie etc. Maybe Stan himself had a minor stroke, or Bells Palsy.

[@TheGlassman63]

@@nosmoking4933 Bernard Youens died in 1984, so long dead by the late 80's. He had a stroke in 1975 and his health gradually deteriorated. The storyline that he carried on cleaning windows was really implausible to the extreme, but somehow Granada kept that notion going until the virtual end.

[@Uksoapfan]

@@TheGlassman63 They also aged Stan up by 3 years. In 1983 Stan was only meant to be 61 but they decided to make him 64, so nearer to pension age. I read on Corriepedia that Stan said he was 48 in 1964, so if they had stuck to that age, he'd be eligible for pension in 1981. Originally Stan was born 1916, then changed to 1922, then to 1919.

[@gusjackson3658]

Ah the importance of being Emily.

[@connielincoln8681]

Ty so much for uploading these episodes great fan from nz here 💓

[@paulchristopher3887]

Did anyone notice the Decimalisation notice board hanging up in the shop. Learning new money must have been awful for the old folk

[@gerrynicol3951]

I was 11 when this was shown

[@popazz1]

I was a month away from my 12th birthday, decimilisation wasn't much fun for us young folk either.

[@lordwalker71]

I was 4 months old

[@davidmatthews9019]

I was 14 when this was on love it,

[@darganx]

I was born November 71 so totally missed it.. and by the time I got to school it wasn't taught, even for historical reference. I only got to learn about old currency when I discovered an interest in coins a couple of years back, and it still sounds like algebra!

[@francesgillotti1378]

Loved coronation st in the 70s

I always thought Ena was old now I’m nearly 70 when I was you g and lived in Ireland everyone watched Coronation street

[@bealtainecottage]

People were so very much smaller back then...and I'm not talking height! What has happened the human race in the western world?

[@kevinoldham8421]

American sized portions. 2 for the price of 1 offers. Sedentary jobs and labour saving devices.

[@Lytton333]

Chronic narcissism. Like a Black Death of human interaction. With it has inevitably come chronic stupidity and chronic incompetence.

[@harbster2]

I'm amazed at how thin Stan is back then.

Alf too,sort of...

This was when corrie was great not the crap they produce nowadays

[@analogueandy8x10]

Scene with Emily and Ernie at 9:08. You can really hear the crew making quite a bit of racket...even talking.

[@mikeelmira]

I’ve been binge watching this from 1960 to 2020 and it’s so weird to see the cast age right before my eyes.

[@tylerg3229]

Lol two words, Ken. Barlow. (and might I say 60 years from Day 1 is dedication)

[@mikeelmira]

Tyler Giles lol, not watching every episode obviously but yeah, you are right, I’m devoted. I think the earlier ones are much better than today’s. What say you?

[@corriearcade60]

Michael do u remember Jerry Booth knocking out Jim Stokes from 1971

[@carolineg1872]

Poor Ernest, he didnt have much luck on that side of the Street.

Would Ena Sharples really have a photo of herself grinning on the sideboard ? . . .

Hildas house looks like they flipped it around

[@Megamike073]

Great to see a full episode and the characters, I wasn't born when this was aired and had to look twice at some of the actors to see how young and slim they were. Love to see more. Did Ena manage to keep her job?

[@lynne3124]

Ena managed everything darling.

[@nguyendailam6703]

Why has Ena got a picture of herself on the mantelpiece?

[@stephanblack4558]

This must be before Len gave swimming lessons.

[@fretboardmaster70]

I’ve turned the sound down and am saying rude stuff in the place of the original boring dialogue. Just like Buggernation Street.

[@annoldham3018]

Alf is farting in the scene where he's drinking lemonade.

[@andywright3450]

Len fairclough best actor in it

[@darganx]

I think Peter Adamson was a brilliant actor, great voice for radio and would have made a great Gene Hunt in a cop show, IMPO.

[@onlyme219]

Wonderful 👍

8:22 when someone says that and you realise they died 5 years before you were even born... and you're 29...
