Coronation Street - February 1978

[@rabbit64sj91]

The latest £1 note was issued featuring Isaac Newton, ABBA were UK no 1 with Take A Chance On Me, we had snow, I turned 14 & did a paper round for pocket money...............and I loved watching The Street in Feb '78, very happy days! 💕

[@kato2644]

Rabbit64SJ I turned 14 in January 1978. I worked in a newsagents at the weekend and I got £10. Happy days as you say.

@@kato2644 £10 was a lot of money back in '78, you were doing well! And you were born the month before me. Great to hear from you. ☺

Oh wow was Isaac Newton from Newton and Ridleys ?

[@bestdisco1979]

The quality of acting is brilliant. The soaps today need to take stock.

[@notonyournelly5475]

Nobody fluffed their lines as much as Elsie but she was still brilliant

Corrie today is nothing like it was in the '70's,80's or'90's,then the drama was blended with subtle humour just like Brookside and Take the High Road used to do with their storylines.

[@miriammacdermid8163]

There’s nothing better than having a Corrie 70s marathon. I’m forever in your debt Mr Slinger ❤

Awww, Bert Tilsley in the jewellers. Thankyou for your efforts in keeping us all entertained, much appreciated.

[@kato2644]

Thanks for this ProfessionalGun 66. You’re a gem!

[@glamdolly30]

1:58 It's odd seeing Bill Tarmey loitering in the background in the Rovers without a single line of script, when he would later become one of Corrie's biggest stars and landlord of the pub to boot! Bless him, Bill certainly paid his dues before he became a Corrie legend, with all the glory that star status brought him. It was well deserved - he was a great actor and deserves his place in the Street Hall of Fame with it's most iconic and best-loved characters through the ages. THANKS for another wonderful upload!

[@thebadtemperedbrit]

Indeed & giving hope to extras everywhere!

[@nitad4203]

Thanks for all these wonderful episodes. This is what entertainment should be, great characters and believable storylines. I'm so glad that I found this great channel!

[@williamf4544]

People had a certain moral standard back them - like how Elsie didnt like the girls talking really nasty about Hilda - My mum was the same she hated her sister but would never ever talk bad about her in front of me

[@mikehudson8884]

Elsie, Gail and Suzie's storyline in this was the best ever. They should have had a spin off series........Where is the missing bit where Hilda pokes the broom through the ceiling?

[@clarkpatient7950]

Hahahahaha, hilda and the ceiling!!!!

[@pamib29]

Uncle Alberts chiropodist Sally (Suzan Farmer) was really successful in Hammer Films & The Saint with Roger Moore etc…She was married to Ian McShane (Lovejoy) in the late 60s. It’s really sad work dried up for her in the late 80s & she became a reclusive alcoholic & sadly died in 2017 of cancer aged 75. 🙂

[@memoir4you]

Ah I thought I recognised her . She was very different in an episode of Blakes 7 in the same year as this . And her character in this is charming & forthright , I think she would have been good for Ken.

[@gilliangrant8764]

I really can't stand Rita. Gives Hilda a hard time for causing trouble with neighbourly squabbles, yet her sparring partner Elsie comes in and not a word! I hate the way she was always sneering towards the Ogdens.

[@theresapierce3934]

Rita always thought a lot of herself and loved lording it over the Ogdens. She always came across as really spiteful.

[@joegee6434]

I always thought she could be a right cow to mavis too

[@annoldham3018]

Madam Toffee Shop! Bet said so. She said, "you really think you're a cut above, don't you?"🥰

[@mattburke3457]

I only knew Rita from the new cories and this is a completely different charecter than who she is later in life. I'm shocked that she was ever this way...wow

[@MissMarie1377]

It breaks my heart the way Hilda is treated by everyone

[@notonyournelly5475]

Renee was a really nice likable character. Funny at times too. Shame she had to die. I only appreciated her after months of watching these

[@christopherhayes2556]

strangely i never liked the idea of them being married but looking back i appreciate it more apparently the producers decided it wasnt working shame she played the part well

Renee is so lovely

[@annoldham3018]

She's a good friend to many.

[@nitad4203]

Renee was a great character. I loved her friendship with Bett. I could never understand why they got rid of her character. She made a much better partner for Alf than Audrey did. She was so funny and pleasant.

I know Rita could be condescending at times and l am not her greatest fan but she did show her kind side when she leant hilda her hat and coat.a nice touch .

[@londonlady1966]

I think that was done knowing full well that if Hilda turned up dressed well, she might lose and she wanted Hilda to show Elsie up anyway. A myriad of reasons.

[@user-ff8el4hq4u]

She wanted to do down Elsie, Hilda's opponent in court.

[@5gx673]

Love Hilda's laugh 😍

[@bsaunders5271]

Love Renee, she was a superb character. Hated when they killed her off, her and Alf were fab together. So were Renee and Bet. One of my all time favourite characters.
