If only Corrie was this much fun nowadays - I’d probably watch it?

Totally agree, gone right off new one now.

Me Too!!!

[@bsaunders5271]

Brilliant comedy skit with Reg, Maureen and Maud outside the pub, Reg grabbing and half carrying Maureen round the waist when she clatters into him while he's pushing the wheelchair. So well done.

[@helentucker6407]

2:30:00 Betty being a loyal friend to Bet once again. Bet must be so thankful for her wonderful friend of 20+ years, she always assumes the best about Bet, always on Bets side, would never take the side of every single person who wrongs Bet ever. Good for Bet she has a very reciprocal relationship with lovely Betty Turpin🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Corrie Comic highlights of May 1993: 3:00:10 - The pompous wilting Wiltons and their back garden escapades. In the summer of 1991, it was the boat debacle, and in 1993, it's the drama of the dormobile! Both courtesy of Des Barnes. Also, 3:01:14 the expression on Bet's face when she makes it clear she knows Stella Rigby has been 'had' by Councillor Potts in more ways than one!

Poor Percy getting rejected and her thinking it was a joke. He's adorable, and deserves to be happy.

[@davehenson7104]

This Comment Contains Spoilers!!! Wow Neil is certainly a complex piece of work. I find it hard to see what Angie and Denise for that matter saw in him. I don't think he ever got over Denise and his obsession caused Angie to suffer and get hurt. Not sorry to see the back of him. I actually really like Angie's character and am glad she chucked Neil. She always worked better as an independent woman. Not afraid to speak her mind. Especially towards Jenny Bradley and let's face it, Jenny constantly needed a good talking to. She was no pushover either except when it came to Neil. She saw what she wanted and went for it. Definitely a good character in this era. I feel Hanif should have been kept in the show. His relationship with Denise for me worked really well. Much better than with Ken Barlow which for me was a big mistake in the show and took Denise's character through a personality change that should never have happened. She seemed so much happier with him and Of course Ayub Khan Din who played Hanif went on to write the very successful East is East and West is West. Two brilliant films worth a watch. In the same way I also feel Stella Rigby was very under utilised. Vivienne Ross makes a statement when she's on screen and Stella was definitely more than a match for Bet. The two worked well off each other especially against Harry Potts. They could have had competitions between the Rover's and the White Swan (Which I think they did a quiz in 1985) which could have led to some very comedic moments. It would have been a great way to play on the legacy of the rivalry between Annie Walker and Nellie Harvey (Nellie should have been used more too).

[@Blueredlady]

After the fun fact about East is East... I struggled to read the rest of your comment 😅 that's a UK classic

[@R31922]

Bet & Raquel as usual brilliant ❤.

[@willowj.1147]

I have to laugh how some of the actors seem to break during their scenes with Raquel. Sarah Lancashire delivers her lines deadpan and the other character can't keep a straight face. Julie Goodyear seems to be only one who doesn't break. Case in point 2:47:39 Noticed it also in scenes with Raquel and Rita.

[@pls6247]

How thick was Olive if she couldn't see that Percy was being serious?

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

At least that's the last time (fingers crossed) I'll need to hear Bet refer to Tenerife as "tenereefee". Don't know if she just doesn't know how to pronounce it or she thinks it's charming but it boxes my lugs each time I hear her say it 🙉

[@EveHenleySpread]

It’s actually more or less the correct pronouncement though isn’t it? Maybe not the ‘reefy’ accentuation she does, but it’s more correct than most Brits saying Tenner reef 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

@@EveHenleySpread it's precisely that "reefy" bit that traumatizes me 😂

[@cicerodiello1]

@@EveHenleySpreadI think it might sound something like Teneriff Air in Spanish or Italian. 6:34 The R at the end of Air should not be rolled. (non-rhotic pronunciation). Bet’s pronunciation was close to correct with an English accent. ❤

4:42:30 By eck, he gets about does old Zak Dingle eh (Steve Halliwell), wasn’t he on the council with Alf a couple of years back? I’m sure he was the one telling Percy he was too old to be a lollipop man.

[@thebadtemperedbrit]

IMDB show Steve Halliwell as appearing between 84 & 94 as four different characters over thirteen episodes. In Episode 2829 (9th May 1988), in which Steve appears, Percy is told he's past retirement age & must leave the community centre. So you appear to be correct, I believe it's this kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qQlISoerqkpNE ;-).

[@bsaunders5271]

He was a policeman on the show at least twice over the years too!

How Many spliffs did they smoke ? 4:53:04

[@noeljr.7724]

I don't get the point of Neil Mitchell at all. He just sits around squeezing his face up and talking low. Reg is a laugh. Wish he lasted longer in the show. Doug Murray too but a character like his has a shelf life. He's only 1 wrong move away from getting done in.

[@ginagina9720]

Doug’s old clapped out camper van is a eye 👁️ sore and does definitely 💯 needs to be scrapped! I wouldn’t like that outside my front door 🚪!!! I hope liz and Jim do well on their training course good 👍 luck 🍀!!! Thank you 🙏 for sharing your videos of Corrie

I’ve lost count of the number of times throughout the earlier part of Luz and Jim’s’ time on Corrie that Jim’s mother in Ireland had a ‘funny turn’ which necessitated either Jim or Jim and Liz dashing off to Ireland, I wonder if Charles Lawson had other commitments which were written into his contract ?

[@forrestcollective9184]

It was Liz, and has already happened. She went off a few years back was gone a while.

[@dementednun1175]

This is a silly Theory but do you think they cast Stella Rigby because they couldn't get Cilla Black no offence to the actress she's very similar to Cilla

[@EveHenleySpread]

She did have quite a look of Cilla yes! I think the writers here were just trying to repeat the rivalry Annie Walker had with Nelly Harvey of The Laughing Donkey (played by Mollie Sugden). So Bet had her own rival landlady in Stella.

@@kevinfowkes2327 how about purposely having some merging dropped by crane into someone else’s backyard?! Going over it is one thing but paying to have it dropped onto the backyard of a house you don’t own/rent/have anything to do with seems like the bigger deal to me. THAT should come with SOME consequences, right? Seems like England let’s you do anything and won’t punish people because someone might get hurt feelings. Nothing anywhere near this would EVER happen here, if it did…. Big consequences….you might go to jail …..forever 😉😁😋💕

Des couldn't grow up if his life depended on it.

[@staceygrove5976]

2:42:50 "I've seen more than enough for wun night, Mr Barnes." Yet ANOTHER Corrie character with a Yorkshire accent, in a series supposedly set in the Manchester area. Doug Murray speaks with one too, though the actor's Welsh.

[@EveHenleySpread]

Des is from Hartlepool

[@staceygrove5976]

@@EveHenleySpread Yes, I knew about Des, but the line I quoted is from the guy who's interested in buying his house (Mr Wilkie). Yorkshire accents in The Street are a bit of a bugbear of mine - throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s a high proportion of the cast seemed to have them (eg from this period in 1993 Ivy Brennan, Don Brennan, Angie Freeman, Alf Roberts, Vera Duckworth, Doug Murray, Liz McDonald....)

[@EveHenleySpread]

@staceygrove5976 yep you’re right, plenty of scouse accents too i.e. Hilda Ogden, Len Fairclough, Eddie Yeats to name but 3! Not many Mancs, Jack Duckworth was definitely one!

[@staceygrove5976]

@@EveHenleySpread There are two distinct varieties of 'Manc' accents in Corrie. People like Jack Duckworth, Rita, Bet, Sally and Tracey speak in a sort of 'peripheral' Greater Manchester accent that you hear in places like Oldham, Rochdale and Bolton, whereas the likes of Kevin Webster and Steve McDonald have a more pure 'urban' Manc sound. You can tell the difference in the way these characters pronounce the long 'A' sound in words like 'mate', which is very broad and 'flat' in the peripheral accent, but much closer to standard English in the 'urban' version. Also you could well imagine Kevin referring to 'Man Citeh', but not Jack! An accent you don't hear in these early 1990s episodes is the one that's associated with the Blackburn-Accrington area, which became familiar through the characters of Hayley Cropper and Janice Battersby later on in the decade. Len Fairclough's assistant Jerry Booth also had this accent.

I think most women would agree that the best quality a man can have is a bloke with great humour & dont take themselves so seriously! Ive been out with drop dead handsome guys & ok some were funny & witty but after a while you realise its purely patter & theres no substance! Reggie is no pin up that's for sure but hes cute & genuinely eccentric! Hes so cheery & even when life deals him a bad hand he manages to turn his lemons into lemonade! Apparently Reggie aka Ken Morley is the same in real life Ken Morley IS Reggie ! Ha ha Even down to the specs Good fun, full of jolly japes, Merry banter & sparkling reparteè !
