Coronation Street - Hilda Ogden Special #1 - Hilda's Birthday

Edited highlights from a vintage episode of Coronation Street from the late 70's - It's Hilda's birthday and Stan has arranged to renumber their house from 13 to 12a, Hilda is convinced it will bring them luck. Unfortunately, they both get locked out and Hilda's special birthday roast is in the oven...

RIP dearest Jean. You were my favourite character on Corrie. Wonderful actress

[@paullynton-green6570]

An absolute legend.a word too freely used these days.

[@cappy00000]

So much better than today's show.

[@anthonypoole6417]

No comparison. The 80s imo the best decade yet.

[@koby4094]

The ludicrous stephen story

[@joeblogs-vx4ep]

One million times better ⭐📀🏆

[@joeblogs-vx4ep]

​@@anthonypoole6417 1970s best decade ( in my opinion )

[@BNCA70]

this is hilarious! what depth of character those two actors gave their parts as Stan & Hilda. priceless.

[@harryclements4710]

Happy birthday Hilda

[@trevorthompson7604]

A true icon she was coronation street it was never the same without her

[@Phaedrax2]

LOL at Stan stumbling over 'anonymous' and trying not to laugh ! Good old classic corrie

[@carolinegraham1351]

A time when Corrie was worth watching....

[@ohwell94]

Stan Hilda reunited in heaven RIP

[@paullynton-green6570]

We hope so because hope is all we have.

[@guillaumedeverreaux7086]

Well Stanley, this is another fine mess you've gotten me into 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BornAnOldFart]

RIP Jean Alexander. Sadly passed away days after her 90th birthday

[@pmc40]

yep just read, , many fond memories of her playing Hilda and and one of my favourite characters in tv, her and stan were briilliant together

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Well, just how long should she stay alive??!

[@BornAnOldFart]

​@@chicagogyrl4846 I'm sure my fellow Englishmen will excuse your ignorance in the way our language is used

[@MrRadiofan12]

the best soap ever made in history and the ogdens were the best ever i loved stan and hilda

[@bluelady4183]

The good old coronation st!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

The Ogdens-Absolute legends!

[@kaysmith8992]

Seeing Gail here, it's really tragic how the show has turned her into this clown character since the 2010s. Wish I'd been alive to watch the show in the 70s and 80s.

[@jasonking6892]

Comedy at its Best 😅

[@andrewlogan3700]

Awwwww I do miss the Oggies, and the Duckworths!

[@bluelady4183]

Andrew Logan yes they were the best ones!!!

[@kevinclark2856]

sad day for all as hilda has passed away 40 years life watching corrie RIP

[@megaphoenix2001]

i loved watching coronation street in late 70 to early 90s stan and hilda were def 2 of the best characters ive emailed itv few times to c if theyd repeat the show but no cant c why they cant

[@DIETRICHCICCONE]

I love Hilda - my favourite character by miles ❤️ Blanche Hunt would be a close second, then Phyllis Pearce or Cilla Battersby 😂

[@tracyg7002]

Stan. Bless him.

[@Lytton333]

They brought in Vera Duckworth, but it just wasn't the same. Jean Alexander was, ironically, unique in that she represented a type. Hilda's type goes back right through the centuries in literature and stage as well as the reality from which they were taken, from MIstress Quickly in Shakespeare to Sheridan's Mrs Malaprop.

[@trevorthompson7604]

So much in love great characters miss this side of the street so much

[@MarkTheMadMan]

cant believe how easy it was to break windows in the 70s/80s 😂😂

[@RichardJW1]

dear old Stan and Hilda

[@davidhudson2059]

fantastic love her R I P OLD LASS

[@denisesiddon7241]

Love hilda and her flying ducks

[@alexanderjones9572]

In fairness to Stan, that’s the only door I’ve seen automatically lock when closed.

[@BRUTUALTRUTH]

Love Hilda x

[@andrewlogan3700]

R.I.P. Jean/Hilda.

[@Raincitywarrior]

ty for the memories

[@karlmaldensnose5889]

10.11 stan fluffed his lines whilst saying 'anonymous admirer' and you can see him smile. That probably only took 3 or 4 takes it was minor so they left it in. There were lots of little fluffs left in Elsie tanner was the worst. Today they'd retake all day long until it was perfect delivery of the script, that's what has turned it sterile and taken so much charm away from it

[@1723SAMUEL]

Hilda was Fantastic on Coronation Street *

[@alexanderjones9572]

So Gail’s ‘present’ was something SHE liked so she could take it back if Hilda didn’t want it.😂😂

[@TallSilentGuy]

2:57 I thought i was seeing two Ritas!

[@mral8145]

Stan kissing the envelope 😘😍

[@toppertruthio]

love the way the copper rolls up his sleeve@7:54 to put his arm through a broken window....must be an ex vet playin the part....then again its gotta be a real cop

[@cryingonion2]

I've got a very similar mirror, and three flying ducks on my wall! Think it must be cos I grew up on this.

[@1723SAMUEL]

Very Funny

[@Sarah77637]

"Fat lump" lol

[@joeblogs-vx4ep]

😂😂😂👍 poor Hilda Ogden😢

[@joe-vl3nd]

Love a leg of lamb.lol

[@mikehudson8884]

A leg of lamb is STILL like eating gold!

[@pussycats456]

Hildas ‘Muriel’ in the background!

[@MichelleDonaldson-oi8hl]

Hilda Ogden was Corrie not now Corrie is crap Rip Vida Ogden😢😢

[@rix16]

hmm what year is this?! well Elsie and Gail are both in it so it can't be any earlier than 1976. I reckon 77-78 is about right

[@peter0010]

Gail began in 74 but I know that Elsie had a short break, so I reckon you're right with 77

[@user-zz8nk2oc9p]

When the storylines were simple & honest! Not the corrie of today! All sex & terrible violence! 😢 RIP Hilda & her chuck Stan xx❤

[@steviemaidenhead6720]

Wow wasnt gail pretty

[@user-ju4hs9ks6e]

Yes, I hear she’s the prettiest girl back on her home planet.

[@A_real_Ha_So]

And to think she has to be Hilda's age now.

[@pussycats456]

Elsie Tanner, Alf Roberts, and Rita Fairclough. What was the rotund barman called though?

[@gmanderson2009]

Fred Gee

[@LPCLASSICAL]

Ive overcooked a leg of lamb by 30 minutes - no big deal still a tasty meat just a bit overdone on top

[@cryingonion2]

no muriel though...

[@chicagogyrl4846]

This Gilda always looks old for her age.

[@josephlenehan4461]

Joseph and 😀 Today TV

[@Sarah77637]

Who the other red headed lady, standing next to Rita?

[@jimdavis3435]

Elsie Tanner...she and Rita look like sisters

[@alexanderjones9572]

Jim Davis And ironically, Rita is now Rita Tanner, having been married to Elsie's son, Dennis!

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Aw don't actually like this program at all but this reminds me of being quite young and suffering through CS. It was a simpler time before mobile phones and stuff. I love tech but no so much of the PC, braindead Kardashian world we have now....

[@mrtoptenatten]

When coronation Street was easy to watch ......& Not full of gays for pc reasons
