Classic Coronation Street - 28/11/79 (Brian & Gail Tilsley Wedding)

Classic episode of the Manchester soap from 1979. It's Brian & Gails big day
Original air date - 28/11/79

[@murphy9039]

Coronation street was far superior show in 1979 compared to 2019. If there was a wedding in Corrie today someone would gatecrash the wedding and there would be a punch up along with a murder & an affair been revealed thrown in!!! How could once such a great show turn to pure muck?!

[@sharoncox4776]

Agree fully. Was never the same either after Deirdre died - stopped watching it then

[@Hulk2k6]

They went overboard with trying to be in touch with "the real world" (tbf, the show presented an outdated picture of Britain for a looooong time)

[@abbieroseholden4174]

And it starts the start of Gails many weddings...

"Never let him see he's made you cry"? What sort of crap advice is that for a marriage?

I just realised why are Ivy and Audrey telling both their children to speak up like their children haven’t done it before 😂

[@scottpeacock5492]

Funny you should say that, werent both Brian and Gail in their 20's in 1979, So perhap they never been married before at this point.

@@scottpeacock5492oh yeah true I never thought about that

[@framey3830]

This was a first wedding for both of them. Gail was only 21.

The debut of Jack Duckworth - an absolute Corrie legend

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

Wonder what they'd say if I walked into the Rovers and asked if they do contact less payments?

[@alicehewitt3996]

was this year did Jack Duckworth and his wife vera had their first appearance

[@anothercomment]

Jack made his first appearance in this episode but Vera first appeared 5 years previously in 1974.

Why is Mike giving Gail away? I didn't know they were close

[@veggie42]

Well the irony he was her boss and their children married and now their marriage in trouble again

[@lloyddenvermckay1410]

Coronation Street's Gail & Brian Tilsley's first wedding in 1979. Also the first of Gail's many marriages/men. Gail would go on to marry first spouse Brian again for the second time in 1988. Then to Martin Platt in 1991. Richard Hillman in 2002, Joe McIntyre in 2010 & finally.... Michael Rodwell in 2015. Gail has had 5 husbands & 6 different surnames (including her maiden name: Potter) than she's had hot dinners. She must love wedding cake.🥧 Marriage is like a hobby to her, lol 😂😄👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨❤️❤️💍💍 Also Gail is a divorcee & a black widow as 4 of her husbands (Brian, Richard, Joe & Michael) have all since died in tragic circumstances whilst married to Gail. While Gail's second hubby Martin is the only one out of her ex-husbands to escape the curse of death by ending his marriage to Gail in divorce & he's still alive as far as I know.
