Coronation Street - July 1977 

Im watching these in 2024. They are so much better than the current show. Great storylines and real acting. They definitely don't make them like this anymore 🎉

I love the relationship between Eddie and Ena the Duchess. Thank you for another classic.

45 years later and Ken, Rita and Gail are the only characters left.

One of the scaffolds went on to play Don Brennan The decorator went on to play Bill Webster The Councillor went on play Arnold Swain

So good 1977...loving it ❤

The good old days of Coronation Street - the Rovers snug, Ena Sharples being accommodated by the ratepayers for doing nothing, Albert Tatlock mentioning that he fought in WW1, Len Fairclough acting the ladies man and Don Brennan masquerading as a scaffolder.

The sad thing is that Alan, who was married to Elsie in real life, died in 1979 due to alcohol abuse. He was 53.

Hang on while I light me breakfast …what a line from Bet.😂

Thanks so much for these great episodes. What a great channel!

One of my favourite channels on RU-vid thankyou mate I really appreciate you sharing these amazing videos x

Actor George Waring as Cllr Tattersall, returned in 1980 to play Emily's bigamous husband Arnold Swain, and Geoff Hinsliff, one of the conmen who sweet talks Bet Lynch, reappeared 10 years later in 1986 as Ivy Tilsley's second husband Don Brennan. More Corrie recycling of actors!

When Corrie was good much better than now. It's all about sex and murders not the same now .

very cruel of the producers to kill renee off.

Peter Armitage playing another character rather than Bill Webster. Not in the building but the decorating trade. Some comical scenes in these episodes especially with Stan and Eddie brewing their own beer and the bath. Also the gentleman who played Arnold Swain is in this playing a caretaker character who was also quite a devious fellow.

Thank you so much for putting this back up, is there any chance of doing the same for ‘78?

15:09 - "I explained all that to Missus Thingummybob" 🤣😂🤣😂 Honestly Albert does make me laugh my socks off. What legends they all were. Strange seeing Arnold Swain as a councillor mind you 🤣

Betty Turpin at 20 minutes. “ Black & White Minstrels, they were my Cyril’s favourite “. I hope that the three black people at the bar were not offended. Today, they would shut The Rovers down, and send Betty on a diversity course.

I love watching the classic Corrie from back in the day. 1:44:50 I love these quick head-turn moments of Annie Walker when she’s either annoyed or being dismissive.

I’d have thrown that dinner at Len after the way he behaved in the last episode 4:04

Would have been good to see Ray Langtons character develop ..Pity they wrote him out..

Bastard said on TV in early evening?! OMG

😂😂..back in the day when we use to take umbrellas out with us 🤣🤣… my grown kids won’t even take a coat to the club nowadays 🤣🤣🤣 xxx

It's Don and Bill lol

Corned beef is definitely a luxury now

Albert Tatlock is bone idle. He can’t even be bothered to make a brew and buy some biscuits.

‘Don Brennan’ mark one was a bit on the sleazy side 😂

Len wandering around with his ludicrous high waisted trousers and shirt flapping open to the belly is just awful….and the way he says daaaahlin to every woman is so grating 😖

OMG that’s Arnold swain I recognised the voice they did a lot of that back then

Eddie Yeats❤

Oh god! It's Arnold

Ena happy as ever missing nagging Minnie to death

I wish Len would fasten his shirt 🤑

2.46. Eddie fills the teapot with cold water. 😮

When corrie was great.

Alans brown, velvet voice. Sad they didn't get back together. ❤

Dear God, what a sight Bet makes first thing in the morning. The antidote for any man contemplating marriage.

Love this xx

Gail n Suzie were hilarious when they were up to mischief 🤦🏽‍♀️wonder what Elsie will say when she finds out 😅😅❤❤

I didn't know Ena owned a car...such that it was!

I’m on Ray’s side over him bubbling the two decorators. Both of them rubbed his nose in it with their arrogance and sarcasm.

Derek looking quite dashing in that bkack suit

The man who was meant to be with Renee is Don Brennan also that man who is trying to get Ena out of the flat reminds me of Arnold Swain

Gail was absolutely stunning in summer '77 😍

The detective is Alan Hunter... 'Greg Ryder' of 'Take The High Road'

Has Maurice the painter aka Bill Webster got a bulging eye here? I dont remember Bill Webster having it.

A working class drama for a working class audience yet the writing is often anti- worker and anti-union.

And Don Brennan... before he was Don Brennan

Hearing Alan Broenings voice Madame sad how much he deteriorated

Does anyone else find the Rovers new wallpaper a bit busy 🤔?

Did you know that there is STILL childhood marriage in USA?

The Gail-Suzie duo was the low point of the 70's, 2 awful actors.

Don Brennan at 13:12

Don Brennan masquerading as a scaffolder.

58:41 Gonk Face Gail.

Bette had such poor judgement when it came to men.😮

6:10 that's Don Brennan in the corner!

Hard to believe im saying this, but Helen Worth was a bit of a hotty back then. Those tight jeans on her fit so well !!

Eddie Yates ❤

Bill Webster. Before he was Bill Webster.

Wowee Gail was hot back then!!🤩

2.39 - Hilda 1, Elsie 0

If Ena Sharples is too ill to make tea and provide biscuits then she should be fired!

The future husband of Emily, Arnold Swain, in his previous guise.

Ena Sharples is employed as a caretaker and given free accommodation. She does no work yet expects to keep both the job and the flat.

Len is dreadful. He even looks slimy.

Mrs walker is a itch!

13.11 Don Brenon

Eric the criminal in this episode is the future Mrs Tilslies husband? Not the first time they have recycled actors. Inspector Mr Tatesles in this episode is the future Mr Emily Bishop.😊

Susie is right them students dont wash or change their clothes - smelly socks and feet and as far as their underpants go the mind boggles -They really are disgusting - I always fumigate the bedroom and bathroom the next morning once they have gone
