I get very sad and emotional and happy watching this . brings back alot off memories growing up in manchester england my mums favourite show I was only about 5 or 7 years old but I can still remember my mum and dad sitting on the couch having there cup off tea and coffee on a cold night watching this program every week , I missu mum and dad so very much , I wish you were still alive so I can talk to u brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it love you

[@p.e.i.man-canada-1372]

In Canada we grew up thinking that England was an almost mythical place full of people wearing business suits or full formal attire, bowler hats, sitting around and drinking tea, living out scenes like in the show… a sort of "we gotta look up to those guys" kind of ideals. Kinda funny now that I think back on it...

Well, it was a new era for television, not many people wanted depression. Yes, the original focus was to watch the lives of Manchester’s residents of a backstreets gloomy ally, but now they have to keep up with the times

[@GAndHGaming_]

but at least the cat is cute

[@rosePetrichor]

weird that a cat walking across a rooftop is one of the most iconic images in modern British culture lol. Every time they tried a new intro that didn't have a cat in it there were nearly riots in the streets

[@caelenmarshall2674]

Wow, this actually made me cry. Especially the 2002 intro, the signature single cat meow. I was always allowed to stay up an hour past my bedtime if Coronation street with on. I would watch it with my Mom. I never knew how much I would come to cherish those moments with her

[@jamsea389]

The CGI used in the 2002 title sequence is very good for the time. Seamlessly adding the street into rows of others. And the tram. Very well done. I remember being about 12 and my mother telling me that the street was actually a set and there weren't other streets or a real tram. I was amazed!

[@ohok734]

I'm pretty sure the tram was real

[@iim4xii129]

Jesus

[@gkeaoyrge]

Was it really CGI? To be honest, I always assumed they just found an estate of similarly looking terraced houses and dressed one of the streets to look like Coronation Street.

[@mossievie]

Caitlin05 it’s a joke

[@Abazigal]

It's a bit too slick looking, the grimy working class look of the older intros is the whole point. The 70s and 80s ones capture the atmosphere the best, though I remember the 90's intro most, that's the one when I was growing up.

[@willboss97]

I grow up with the 2002 one even though its a bit older than me

[@mjlives5428]

So depressing remember seeing this intro as a kid in the 80s and quickly switching over...still makes me wanna kill myself:)

[@Oscarstrainspotting]

I like the 70s and 80s ones because of the long rows of houses and apartments

[@eamonnca1]

So nostalgic to hear the music theme. Coronation Street was shown in my country in the 70's, at 10pm. I could only watch half way before my late dad would chase me off to bed as l need to be up early for school. Certainly reminds me of my dad.

Did anyone else play “I saw the cat first!” Growing up? Basically as soon as you saw the cat you had to be the first one to say “I saw the cat first!” I used to play that with my family when I was a child (I didn’t really understand the show at the time but loved the cat). Now I play this game with my husband and we both get very competitive with it.

I’m glad I saw this because I thought I was going crazy. There’s a clarinet part which has been added in the 2010 rendition of this piece.

90's intro definitely the best, fantastic shots of the telephone pole, high rise flats, the terraced rooftops and that shot of the desolate back alleyway really transmits the monotony of life in the towns of the North West.

[@duffman18]

I mean even back in the 80s, the North West was THE place for music in the UK. It's where the scene was. And these days it's even better. The North West is a hotbed of all types of art and culture. Music is just everywhere, the only places that compare are places like Memphis in the US where every bar there has a musician or band playing. Well in Liverpool and Manchester it's like that, it's hard to find a pub that _doesn't_ have a band on. I love it. That's why I moved to Liverpool from London. London is just full of people who hate everyone. The people up here though are so incredibly friendly

[@peterainsworth8026]

As originally conceived it mirrored the close working class communities that lived on top of each other in narrow terraced streets, where everybody knew each other, their business and gossip would be rife. That made for great TV for a lot of Brits. Of course that world is now gone so Coronation St is more of a fairytale pretending it still exists these days.
