❤️❤️❤️❤️ R.I.P. Ena, & Elsie - Violet Carson, Pat Phoenix!! Two wonderful Dames

This is pure gold, Corrie today is not the same, it’s trash now.

Love jack and Annie walker they were the best at the rovers return arthur leslie as jack walker died in 1970

Brilliant! Brilliant! They should show that to todays Producers, Directors Writers and so-called actors. They'd learn a lifetime of Drama.

Ena's face when Elsie is handed that notice - pure malice

Barnstormer of an episode , shows why the Street was the best

A true classic episode with 2 (of the 3) queens of Corrie at it.

Annie Walker's voice has become posher every year.

Ena reminds me of my very late grandmother. She used to shake her walking stick at me from her chair, then give me half a crown to spend. Bark worse than her bite

Ena having a light hearted conversation with Ken and telling him what she was like in her younger day's, old Swindley comes along and Ena face changes like the weather! Ena didn't suffer fools gladly and Swindley could get above himself at times. Ena Sharples was played by Violet Carson on more than one level, if things were going well in the street she was to the others the hair netted old bag from the Glad Tidings Hall, but if things weren't so good Ena was the first they turned to, her advice not always being the answered they wanted, but always the right advice. "Little children were never afraid of Mrs.Sharples" Violet Carson once said of the character, "they will come over stand next to her and hold Mrs.Sharples hand".

Ena and Elsie scrapping like a couple of strays, whilst the band plays “All Things Bright and Beautiful” 😂 they certainly don’t make tv like this anymore!

Ena and Elsie brilliant

I'm watching these old episodes because I'm interested in the street layout compared to 2018 Gosh its changed

18:51 Omg lol! When ena runs back in and hurts elsie 😂😂😂

“ you’re on that ten bob, the big one to take her in round two!l” brilliant.

Even in small Scottish towns like where i grew up there was always an Elsie Tanner or two - even in the 60s and 70s the women of the town would still be talking about them and what they got up to during the war - and not in a nice way i might add

I love the way Ken stands behind Ena outside the pub

Ken Barlow then and he's still in it lol.

Loving the set

So how will Stan cope on the milk round with the early starts?! 😂😂

the band playing all things bright and beautiful haha and ena and elsie tanner having a fight in the street great acting better that the crap you get today

I was 2 days old when this aired. :)

The men were smart ( afraid) not to interfere in the fight 😂😂😂😂

Why didn't Albert offer a room to Ena? Hypocrite.

Bravo!!!!!!!

Anyone notice that the street was erected slightly wrong in this, Albert's front door is next to the Rovers, rather than his bay window. Those scenes looked a hell of a lot for Violet (Carson) to film. I preferred it when Ena mellowed, which is when i grew up watching it, she was almost a different person to the one here. Does anyone know why on the Ida Barlow funeral episode the bay windows are completely different? I know this question has been asked on the internet by others, but no one seems to know. I use to love the first brick built set, and the gap in the row with a park bench in that gap, the park bench being a replacement for no.7. In these scenes i noticed only part of the Rovers looks as if it has been erected.

The phoney war, WWII, everyone was told it would be over by Christmas of that first year, 1939, that is what they were alluding to.

By 'eck, Annie dropped her accent for 10 seconds there!

❤ 10/10

January 27th 1965

Don’t know about Mr Swindley facially resembling someone from Ena’s past-but he does facially resemble someone in Miss Nugent’s future! A certain former army chef....

the street lost two houses as it was too long to fit it all in the studio

Dandelion and burdock renember that, loved those days even though i was in a pram in 1965

Classic episode

Ena Sharples: "Look, this bag was a birthday present - it's not a plaything for any common harpie to go on!" Elsie Tanner (incensed): "What did you call me?" Ena Sharples: "I called you a common harpie!" Albert Tatlock (interrupting Ena and Elsie's argument): "Now, come on Mrs. Sharples, it's beneath yer, this sort o' thing..." Elsie Tanner: "Oh, it's beneath 'er, is it, but it's not beneath me, I suppose? That's the sort of thing I do, is it?" Albert Tatlock: "Oh, I never opened me mouth." Elsie Tanner: "If she chucked you out o' your house you'd be screamin' from 'ere till Christmas, so you shurrup!" Ena Sharples: "She's never been short of men in their house since Arnold took 'is 'ook - many more than Fanny Hill!" Elsie Tanner: "Get back off to yer Mission, Mrs. Sharples, as fast as yer can before I really get me rag out!" Ena Sharples: "I've handled Tanners before, Mrs. Tanner, an' I'll handle you again!" Elsie Tanner: "Now look 'ere - you'll only move me out of this house when I want to go. In the meantime, go an' jump in the cut!" Elsie Tanner (after the fight ends): "You're still me landlord, are you?" Ena Sharples: "Oh, yes, I am that." Elsie Tanner: "Well, you'll pay for that winder!"

Oh Ina what do you mean get em?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No gap between the Rovers and No 1 unlike later.🤔

Why did they think killing Martha and adding the Ogdens would be better?!! 🤷‍♀️

Ena had every right, she owned the house but this is where it gets confusing. Why was Ena living at Good Tidings when she had a house and if so, then surely she received the rent from leasing it and not just her pension.

Nice way to commemorate a former character ( think she’d left at this point?) when it did a birds eye view of the shop with ‘F. LINDLEY’ written outside.

14:16 End Of Part One ❤

18:06 "never mind about police, get a bucket of water" Mind broken glass on bar Albert. Aye up, more trouble at t, Mill, mother. 😂😂

The sets looks so ridiculously small

The actress who played Ina was the most terrifying actress to never be cast in a horror film.

IMAGINE IF THEY WERE WORLD LEADERS THE PLANET WOULDN'T BE HERE NOW.🤣

Waiting for the Ogdens to show why they were rushed in to replace Martha. They just seem like crashing bores.

The actress who played Ina Sharples the most terrifying actress never cast in a horror film.

That guys ears are massive
