Absolutely right, this 1979 episode is a perfect representation of 'Coronation Street's' glory years, which in my view can be traced from Elsie Tanner's return/Mike Baldwin's debut in 1976, to Hilda Ogden's exit on Christmas Day 1987. And to a huge extent, we must thank Corrie super-producer Bill Podmore for that never to be matched, golden era on the Street. Podmore was a genius producer, who came to the rescue in the mid-'Seventies slump, and recognised what was weak on the show and needed to be dropped, and what should be boosted - most obviously, the comedy. Among Podmore's many masterstrokes were introducing a major new Southern character in the shape of Mike Baldwin, and creating the winning trio of Stan, Hilda and Eddie, whose scenes were some of the best. It was a mark of Podmore's strong leadership - and the immense talent of the cast and writers/production crew - that 'Coronation Street' survived the loss of so many major characters in 1983/4, including Elsie Tanner, Annie Walker, Len Fairclough, Stan Ogden, Eddie Yeats, Ena Sharples, Albert Tatlock, Bert Tilsley and Fred Gee. A lesser show may not have survived, but under Bill Podmore fledgling characters like Jack and Vera Duckworth and their son Terry came to the fore, and newbies like the Websters, Curly Watts and Percy Sugden provided fresh blood. There was a year of confusion at the Rovers following Annie Walker's departure (seems no one had seen that coming or made any contingency plans!) After a year of indecision the inevitable happened and Bet Lynch took the helm as landlady, a popular choice with viewers but not necessarily with her co-stars. The year-long delay in her promotion was no doubt due to Julie Goodyear's controversial presence among the cast. Following Pat Phoenix's exit, Julie felt Bet was the new Elsie, and she was the new 'queen bee' of the cobbles, and the biggest star among the cast. Her ego put the backs up of her fellow actors and actresses, and many were not happy to see her succeed the much-loved and respected Doris Speed/Annie Walker. One notable disaster at that time was the introduction of the Clayton family in 1985, a disastrous but thankfully short-lived mistake. There were still some great episodes after Hilda left in late '87. Bet and Alec Gilroy's tenure as Rovers landlords from 1987 - '92 was a highlight, as were the many adventures of Jack and Vera Duckworth. Mike Baldwin remained a popular and dynamic character with many big storylines, for his entire three decades on the show. But once the ghastly Battersby family arrived in 1997, the writing was on the wall for 'Coronation Street'. Sensationalist storylines (serial killers/rapists and all things dark and depressing), second rate actors (eg Bruce Jones as Les Battersby), and embarrassingly poor comedy that failed to match the show's glory years, set the tone for the show's unstoppable decline. Today what goes out under the title 'Coronation Street', is nowhere near the high standard of the fantastic shows we see here. Nothing good lasts forever - and the Street was an extraordinary success story for its first 30 years, from 1960 - 1990. As a true 'Coronation Street' fan, I feel it should have been given a dignified end around the year 2000. Its 21st Century version is an embarrassment, and an insult to the superb TV drama it used to be.

One example being the lorry crash episode, I’m sure we’d have preferred the aftermath episode! Thanks to your compilations we can tie up the loose ends and see what happens next.

My favourite scene in these 'lorry crash' episodes is Violet Carson's scenes, especially when Ena offered up a prayer for Tracey's safe return. Ena could speak her mind and the street may not have liked what she had to say but she was right, Ena was a very wise lady, straight talking, no flannel, but a heart of gold, as Violet said of Ena "when things are not going well in the street Ena is the first one they turn to, and children are not afraid of her (Ena), they come over and hold Mrs.Sharples hand". The prayer scene was played with truth and great sincerity, Ena was a true believer who never forgot to pray every night. The love and the respect the rest of the street have for her, always addressing her as "Mrs.Sharples".

Common place back in those days. Prams were so massive, some still are, that people just had to leave them at the doors of pubs, corner shops and other such public buildings. My mum used to leave her German Shepherd by my own Silver Cross monstrossity with me inside it of course, while she went into shops in the mid 1980s. She did get at least one dressing down from this lady who obviously had the shock of her life, when she saw a small helpless baby girl all alone in this massive pram with the dog. Now, our dog although she was GSD, wouldn't have hurt me, not by any stretch of the imagination. She protected me bless her, like I was a million pounds/dollars lottery ticket. She even slept underneath my cot every night, until her over guarding sadly got to the point where mum had no other option but to rehome her dog, because she, the dog, was so over protective of her immediate family, especially me, mum reckoned she would have gone on to attack or maul somebody. She did go on to have 3 other dogs, but you never forget your animals. I love hearing some of the old stories, especially about the GSD.

I'm guessing Annie Walkers "Iron Lady , Old Britannia" character was an ironic joke? Her reaction to that crash (both immediate and afterwards) was nothing short of weak. If not hilarious. How her character was allowed to be cast as feared is beyond me. Len speaking to Alf in his coma when Rene was present,..erm maybe stay away from the boozing and fighting 😂 The storyline was done with such realism towards the reaction of the characters immediately and days after that would be missing from today's product( if I watched today's product)

I thought it added more humanness to her character. I actually quite liked her reaction, and how vulnerable she could be.

So bizarre that Dierdre left Tracey outside the pub. One in a long line of terrible parenting decisions that the character made during the years following. Crime may have been lower then, but Manchester had been the scene of terrible child abductions and murders, in the decade preceeding. And in 1979, the Yorkshire Ripper was still at large, one of whose victims was murdered in Manchester. Although the accident was a crazy fluke, leaving her out in the street alone was just madness. Dierdre needed a good, hard slap.
