This was a year BEFORE the 'Beatles' arrived on the scene. I've become addicted to Corrie for the SECOND time - I'm 75. Ena Sharples was and will be a one-off forever, brilliantly played by Violet Carson.

Violet was a wonderful actress who showed Ena’s caring side sometimes, as well as her mean spirited side. In this episode we saw Ena’s anti-Irish racism in a pub scene

Enjoying these coloured early episodes.

Fascinating to see these in colour- from C/Street's golden era - my fav character too was Elsie followed closely by Annie

I'm thrilled watching these. Thank you.

Glad you like them!

Elsie looked younger in the 70s than in the 60's.

That’s thanks to a facelift and slimming, as well as the producers consciously ‘ageing down’ the character. She looked about 34 in the early colour eps (she was 46)

Hahaha the days when the words “HIRED PURCHASE” were a viable cliffhanger.

Really enjoyed these- particularly the second one - with Denis' shenanigans and Ena gossiping about Ida Barlow getting tick! Coronation street was much more real and in tune with the real Northerner at this time.

Ty so much for these great fan from nz here

Another brilliant colour episode, thank you.👍🙋‍♀️🇬🇧

BURP..... "I beg your pardon?" "that's ok Ma, I thought it was Dad" 😂😂

Did you download it? If so could I have the file?

Cheers mate, I appreciate the shout! I’ll keep looking for missing eps as I have the time, as it’s my only way to watch here in the US (the DVDs are in PAL format unfortunately!) Best of luck in the New Year discovering more lost episodes❣️

No problem! I appreciate you pointing me towards them. I've always got my eyes open for other episodes, best of luck to you too!

🤣 Elsie slapped the colour right out of Dennis. Runner up was Minnie cracking the whip in the snug.

Alf Roberts makes an entry

Ken still looks the same

I spot a very slim Alf Roberts

Such a clever contrast between the puffy patriarch,Frank ruling the roost at No.1...with the mithering matriarch Annie next door calling the shots....

Fascinating watching this, you can see the monotone colours used in the sets and the clothes worn by the characters. I guess this was to bring out the best grey scale for the black and white camera?

I think that's the reason, I would love to see some colour photos of the characters and sets from back in the day

Please find more of these old episodes! Marvelous actors!

@@Thefan Thank you; black and white film is fine too; God Bless!

The next two are missing 😢

Enjoying this. The Barlow dad ,well I would rebel at his manner and opinions. Thanktou

At about 19:45 the couple behind the ladies keeps breaking the 4th Wall looking directly at the cameras. 😅33:59 The wall mirror with the deflection panel hanging from above looks odd enough - but the reflection in it looks exactly like Cousin It from The Addams Family. 👀

Wonderful, but the Barlows …

Ekey thump 😂

Enjoying early Corrie, I was wondering whether you had any plans to upload middle period Take the High Road from the "90's because you can't get it anywhere else. STV player only let you watch 130 episodes at a time and they don't let you download it.

Which actor played Gordon?
