LOVE WATCHING THESE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ONES TODAY GLORY SENGO.

[@bowler8]

didnt think so when they first aired

[@annmc8392]

Love it that Mavis had a better time in Blackpool than Rita and Bet😃

[@elainedoe1981]

Yes!

[@cise748]

I just came in here to say that. Bet wormed her way into that trip and stated she was gone get rid of Mavis in the very beginning. Neither of them wanted to do what Mavis suggested, made fun of her and bang. She had the most amazing time, loved it!!!

[@alexanderjones9572]

Hilda saying Rita, Mavis and Bet may find St Anne’s more their age group than Blackpool. That’s where Ena went! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ghostdemon7936]

Thanks for uploading these episodes of Corrie. The older ones are much better than the tripe churned out today. Corrie taught me that the main achievement in life for residents was to get married and have a 2 up 2 down house and go to the pub umpteen times a week and be a nosy neighbour poking their nose into others' business. I wouldn't want to live there but I'm enjoying their drama!

[@philstrachan]

They're all raging alcoholics! 😂

[@carasmith549]

Gail is so unbearable - mocking that she "lives in a council house" when chatting to Deirdre. At least, in Corrieland, you can be on the list just 4 weeks before moving in, rather than 5 years in the outside world!

[@nicholasgargano7396]

So great!! Left uk in 83 - so much better than today - thanks!😊

[@lizauger9828]

Oh whisk me back to these days please, when people were normal worked hard and enjoyed life.

[@SuzyQ334]

I've been binge-watching these marvellous Corrie years from 1978 and loving them (thanks PG66). But I have to admit I'm finding the Claytons/Terry Duckworth storyline a bit tedious. Shame.

[@tinaquinn9042]

Love Mike looking out for hilda

[@shylinh5939]

He was essentially good hearted, so it's a shame the writers changed his character in later episodes. He had become cold and hard. He'd been through a lot, but earlier Mike wasn't cold.

[@booth2710]

I hate it when people put a lettuce leaf and a tomato on a plate and call it a salad.

[@elainedoe1981]

I was struck by Percy's comment about children being robbed of their childhood, just look at things now!

[@Alan-ss3xp]

Agreed.

[@olgagarcia5710]

You’re so right!

[@booth2710]

Percy was annoying but he was certainly the oracle.

[@samanthabithell1778]

@professionalgun6674 You are an absolute angel for kindly taking the time to upload all these. You've enabled me to have hours of joy and bliss re-watching my favourites, Bet Lynch, Alec Gilroy, Hilda Ogden, Mavis Riley etc again in Corrie's golden years. Thank you so, so much, bless you and PLEASE don't ever take them down, will you?

How long before these awful Clayton’s leave? It can’t be soon enough

[@irenemorley75]

Yes the younger girl is back in it now, Bernie,

[@HelloImNik]

@@irenemorley75 I knew I recognised her!!!!

[@alexanderjones9572]

Caroline O’Neill (Andrea) was born in 1958-making her 27 in 1985. I thought there was no way she could be just leaving school!

[@chrissywales6575]

I agree. When I was a kid of about 11, I was glad that I wasn't American... after watching Grease, I thought that you had to be about 30 to leave school 😂😂😂

[@olgagarcia5710]

Lol

[@booth2710]

I think they were probably playing it safe - some of those scenes between her and Terry might have raised a few eyebrows had the part being played by an actual school aged girl.

[@jennydickson4424]

Mike being his brilliant devious self. Wish he'd had some bigger storylines than sleeping with dedrie and being the arch enemy of ken. he was a character that you couldn't hate.

[@bsaunders5271]

Him wooing, marrying then divorcing Susan Barlow was a pretty big scandal!

[@elainedoe1981]

Bet, Mavis and Rita together on holiday , Priceless!!

[@chrissywales6575]

It's stupid how we were expected to suspend reality so much over Andrea Clayton. She is, and looks, nearly 30, yet we have to pretend that she is an 18 year old girl.

[@MsArrowroot]

Agreed. She doesn't look much younger than the woman playing her mother.

[@booth2710]

and tht perm adds years on her - she looks as old as Deirdre.

[@mrsstog]

Tracy and her little friend are like the twins from The Shining 😂

[@douglashutnik5621]

Bet was solid gold.

[@philstrachan]

I've been watching all these older episodes to escape the harsh realities of today's world. Life was just so less complicated back then. 🍻✨️♥️🇦🇺

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

I used to work in a bakery many years ago which involved making sandwiches and baguettes and serving customers on the counter. There was a customer who worked in the bookshop near the bakery who would always have a sausage roll and a doughnut!

Poor Rita, I'd have been on the first bus home.

[@TheGlassman63]

LOL, the Clayton's reduced to `Family Choice` Corn Flakes. I remember well Family Choice products in most 1980's corner shops.

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

Yes I remember the family choice items as well!

[@HelloImNik]

Bet looks a lot like a drag artist in this one. Bless her

[@ramthianthomson601]

Thanks again

[@Wildzippy]

Vera wasn't messing when she went for Harry Clayton was she? I wouldn't mess with Vera!

[@TheGlassman63]

That seemed a little unrealistic when Michelle blabbed to Kevin about Andrea's predicament. Surely Andrea would have told her to keep her mouth shut on the matter, instead she does the opposite. Some mate she is to her !

[@londonlady227]

The way Kevin told RTerry was the most unfeeling line ever delivered.

[@hifispock]

Jack & Vera deserve each other

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

Sue was also Dixie in casualty working for the ambulance service!

[@irenemorley75]

Yes and now Bernie in Corrie.

[@booth2710]

Betty holds every one to a very high moral standard all because her husband was a copper. She forgets there's been plenty of bent coppers around.

[@gilliangrant8764]

She also conveniently overlooks the fact she had a child out of wedlock herself!

[@jonathancheetham7683]

They had no right to not let Terry be involved.

Connie “ ‘appened you won’t feel the same way when it ( getting pregnant) happens to you.” Sue “No-‘appen I’ll bring up two kids on my own.” ( Different Corrie character, I know-but same actress. Never met Gemma and Paul’s dad, have we?)

[@cicerodiello1]

I suppose the baby situation is a reason for the writers to turn Terry into a wrong’un. He was a cold hearted b🤐astard after this.

Yes, December is coming I'm 100% sure of that, as are 99 or maybe 97% of my viewers. Those other 3% who find it hard to follow through to end on a logic conclusion by using certain clues like words, spellings, use of the months, years and so on... Usually have to ask.

And he was forced to leave the force for beating someone up...

Ahh, no more little Christabel Finch, who played Tracy from birth. I wonder if the producers just dumped her flat, or whether she was helped to adjust. Pretty major life change for a little girl.

[@Deborah4Antiques]

[@alexanderjones9572]

Andrea’s a selfish so and so, isn’t she. If Connie and Harry want to look after the baby-why would she consider abortion? She can go to university whilst to they look after it. And they want to-so the abortion isn’t for their sake-which she’s trying to make out it is!

[@bsaunders5271]

Generally, these matters are more complicated than that.
