Coronation Street - November 1979

[@katy4779]

Bet's reaction to 'amorous Alf' made this one of the best ever episodes of Corrie. Brilliantly written and nobody could have done it better than those two... side splittingly funny! Golden memories to treasure. Thankyou so much for bringing this back to us.

[@bsaunders5271]

Julie Goodyear is a brilliant comedic actress.

[@nitad4203]

@@glamdolly30 I have watched these videos continuously since Professional Gun66 uploaded them. I watch all of them and then start over. It's a great channel. There are so many good storylines and great laughs. Eddie getting the 'Monogrammed Carpet' for Annie Walker is hilarious and Bet, Betty and Fred's day out where the Rover ends up in the lake is just so funny. Its good old fashioned entertainment from a time that is so dear to my heart 😊

Regardless of the scandal which befell Peter Adamson, he played the part of Len Fairclough brilliantly. Could have remained in the show until the 1990s and became a Corrie legend had things been different.

Scumbag. Makes my skin crawl every time he's on screen. I only read about him a month or two ago.

[@bsaunders5271]

@@MarcoNegrisEye I know what you mean, but he WAS acquitted of all charges.

[@bsaunders5271]

I agree. Len and Rita could have had many great storylines

[@mieka31]

I am in America, but watching on KZbin and Britbox and know the story of Peter Adamson. It is, indeed, sad. He was angry that they chose to have his character go in such a way and blamed producers for trying to turn the audience against him by having his character die in the midst of an affair for Rita to find out. Would have been very nice if things could have turned out differently, especially since Len was the one who got onto Ray for cheating with Janice.

[@memoir4you]

Bert was great with Gail ( & vice versa ) . Typical Ivy interfering with the reception do. Loved Bet saying Hilda had a voice like a piano falling down a fire escape lol. And Annie Walker's icy warning to Hilda " if you disturb a molecule of air ,I shall dismiss you " .

Watching these old ones I'm realizing how many storylines they reuse. The chickens, lying to perspective buyers on home, the metal detector in the allotment, the hair piece, the dog race one (multiple times),just to name a few. Even the modern writers knew they cdnt do better than the classics

Elsie's departure seems quite sudden, and I can't help but wonder if Pat Phoenix had to leave to look after her terminally ill husband, Alan Browning (who played her on-screen husband Alan Howard, of course). Browning died of liver failure in September 1979.

Or possibly for one of her face lifts. Love her.
