I must say, I preferred Dierdre's poker straight hair of the '70s and early '80s. It's her poodle perm phase now!

[@londonlady227]

I think she was sponsored by Vosene at one point..she had such shiny hair and was so pretty with it straight.

[@irenemorley75]

Still looks better than your hair, don't think you could do anything with your thin lank hair

[@Blueredlady]

Well that was uncalled for

[@CherylReznor-sz8vh]

Whats she ever done to you??

[@bsaunders5271]

I don't think Jenny has any tact, or consideration for Rita, whatsoever. Asking her what she thinks Alan might need in jail! I wish Rita would tell the rude little brat straight..."Alan needs a slap!"

[@ddrose06]

Jenny was, and I believe continues to be, the most horrible cow, the street has ever known.

[@mattburke3457]

More like the chair or a good stoning... A slap wdnt suffice

[@theresapierce3934]

Rita should tell her to take a rope and suggest Alan hxng himself.

[@valeenacaballero6744]

Curley in the supermarket and The Beatles, "She's Leaving Home" is playing. 😭😭🤣🤣

[@bibakroll8999]

Bet looks so much better without the wig and all the slap. But I know that's her character, so ...

[@howiseeit5129]

Dierdre has beautiful hair when left long and smooth.not the frizz she has now....

[@MrLookitspam]

It just struck me who Derrick is. He’s our hyacinth!

[@booth2710]

oh my days ... I'm hearing all the back ground music - Like Jason Donovan adn Erasure and the Reynolds and takes me right back to being a teenager.

[@philstrachan]

They're all Stock, Aitken & Waterman artists so they must have got a sponsorship deal. Clever. 😜

[@kuchikopi4631]

The actress who played Shirley was claiming benefits whilst working on the show for many years, now she is a councillor like Deirdre but for fostered children instead.

[@philstrachan]

Wow, being on tv, is not a great cover to rip off welfare lol 😜🖖🇦🇺📺

[@clarea1801]

£20 rent a week, those were the days.

[@agems56]

With wages at around 2 pounds an hour, it was a lot when you see what those small grocery purchases cost! And a pint of bitter!

[@jenlfpotter3870]

Wish it was still £20 a week, nearly 45 years later. I'd be a millionaire if not a multi millionaire on benefits. As it is, its 47.5 times, £20 for a two up, one down back to back with nice size garden for the dog. It sucks, big time, but it would suck even more big time if I was working, as being dual sensory, hearing and sight impaired, I'd earn less than half as much with no benefits. Best I can hope for, is a part time job, no more than 16 hours per week of course, which would really help me out, but who wants to employ folk with disabilities in this day and age, other than the BBC or the local borough councils where we all live? and I certainly wouldn't work for either of them.

20p for a packet of mints. Nowadays that wouldn’t buy one mint.

[@londonlady227]

I know and I can't believe the totals in the corner shop. Someone has a big bag of shopping and Sally says £5.20 or something 😮

[@jegesmedve2276]

It's been decades since I had a chance to visit on the Street. Now that I am in my 60s I find Mavis and Derick very disagreeable.

[@jegesmedve2276]

Hahaha! Know your place Derick, no executive loo for you!

[@normasouthwood3182]

Great acting from Curly. Meanwhile Shirley is dressed up like an Easter egg.

[@bsaunders5271]

Can Emily not just be single? She really has terrible taste in men. Ernest Bishop could bore the paint off the walls, and her second husband was a bigomist. Jesus woman!

[@kuchikopi4631]

😂😂😂

[@kimmitasha1812]

Felt SO heartbroken for Curly 😞 x

[@zanducktv2398]

Kevin played that scene where Shirley called round brilliantly 😢 I don’t think Shirley had any major storylines before they got together did she, just chipping in now and again at the factory.

[@philstrachan]

I went to the Granda Television Tour when I was in England, in 1990. Granada don't just produce Corrie, they have an interior Parliament set that production companies use; they have Baker Street with 221B Sherlock Holmes flat / street, and of course, Coronation Street! The street exterior set in those days was 2/3rds scale and they used wide angle lenses on the cameras to make it look bigger. The houses you see in the street are only one storey, no upper level,, and are used as costume and lighting stores; and back then, the writers of the show had their offices in some of the houses. The Rovers, is a time/space warp in reality: The "Select" function room just couldn't have existed - it would have been on the road. But we ignored that, lol. And why did we NEVER see anyone's front rooms? At the end of the street, behind the viaduct, is a huge sound stage where all the interiors were filmed, they filmed the exteriors in the Street on Mondays (hence continuity errors from exterior to exterior and visa-versa.) I paid £25 (which was a lot in 1990) to do this video. My brother and I went into a bluescreen/ chromakey set and leaned on a "bar". There were the lines we had to say printed on a giant board that kept eyeline in-tact, and when the light came on, you said the line. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear the other pre-recorded actors, and so we had no context to what we were saying, so it does sound a bit flat and disjointed. But this was the result and to this day, we're lucky to have experienced Television history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKeupaCvgLJ8q5Isi=LHna294-TXSlY96f

Agreed. Arguably the most pointless Corrie characters of all time

[@elterrifico9522]

Curly has gone insane

[@stormhawk3319]

Poor Curly, thrown on the scrapheap. Him and Shirley ought to have made it but she wanted a fun life Curly couldn’t give her.

[@shylinh5939]

I think she wanted to be with someone who was less self absorbed, more communicative and capable of having some fun. Curly is a business studies student at the poly, not a scientist on the verge of a breakthrough discovery, he could have made time for Shirley and his studies. She was wasted on him.

[@02bher1]

I'm sorry but Mavis's voice is like chalk on a slate. I had forgotten why I would fast forward the parts she was in.

[@philstrachan]

I'd like to know what drugs she's on! She's off the planet! Agree totally with you 🤪🍻📺🇦🇺

46:35 how can there be "some FRESH boiled ham int fridge" for Jenny's dinner if Rita tells her this in the morning meaning she must have bought it at least the day before? 🤷🏻‍♂️ That's why I'm here 😂

That in the UK, is deemed fresh.

That Shirley is a lump of perished wood. Ever since she first appeared. No wonder there's no record of her having an acting career after Coronation Street.

[@jenlfpotter3870]

Weird scene there, you make breakfast, bowl of cereal, hot drink, tea, coffee Etc, lift the spoon but don't eat the cereal, stir the drink but don't drink it, slam out of the house. What was the point? come on! You've only got that little lot to clear up later, but you probably wouldn't come back and eat it later. What a waste!

[@philstrachan]

Continuity. They probably didn't have time to reset from outtakes.

Were Simply Red particularly popular this year or something? 😂

[@EveHenleySpread]

Not with me they weren’t.. EVER! And not just because their music was so dire… another reason was Hucknall’s choice of football team, so you can guess who I support! 😉

[@philstrachan]

They sold sponsorship deals to the record companies to have your latest hit on radio in cafe etc. 9/10 are Stock, Aitkin & Waterman hits.

[@user-cc8ml9hf6z]

The Curly/Shirley falling out storyline feels so forced 😕

[@mirandawinstead6540]

What was the reasoning behind Normans nickname? 🤔

[@EveHenleySpread]

It’s a sort of ironic twist on just how straight his hair was, if you look at how he looked way back in 1983.. it was the complete opposite of ‘curly’, so that’s basically where it comes from.

[@philstrachan]

He had very straight hair, especially when he had the mullet.

[@andrealeonie9184]

Shirley overreacted

[@mattburke3457]

Severely overreacted. Why wd she throw a party when he has an exam in the am anyways, instead of the next night when it was over.

[@soniaclarkstewart]

The party was for their first anniversary together.

[@irenemorley75]

Always do.🙄

[@jenlfpotter3870]

Every single woman or young thing over 12 years of age is like that in every single soap you'll watch. Get used to it. If you think Shirley's bad here, check out the minutely, hourly, daily, weekly, over reactions of all of the above in Corry, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Etc. They're all like this.

Rubbish taking the fabulous Phyllis out of the cafe. I guess it was Jill Summers’ age - much older than she played - but the more scenes with Phyllis the better!

[@philstrachan]

She said the reason her voice was so gravely is when she was a singer when younger, she sang a sing out of her range and permanently damaged her voice.

Martin is a brilliant actor ,

[@ThatMattOne]

WTF?!?!? All Kevin, Curly and that rat Jenny do, is SHOUT!!!!! Can't they speak normally?? Worst characters ever in this era of the series.
