I can't believe that this show is this old!

A Phelan free zone, for the next 53 years at least.

What a wonderful video :) Had to watch it as I've just watched the 10, 000th episode! Crazy. They made a similar opening scene to this one, loved it :)

It's so weird and amazing to see this show of what it looked like back then and comparing it to now a days.

My mum absolutely loves this show. I never actually watch the show, but I sometimes watch it with my mum, and I know what it's all about. A drama show that dives into what people go through in their lives.

I think Corronation Street is one of the best British drama shows to ever make it on TV.

This was when Ken first appeared, not in this scene, but in this

Wow! Such a blast from the past! Your very clever great job!

[turty]

Wow, coronation street has sure changed a ton!

I’ve enjoyed it ever since we’ve laughed cried and even kept on the edge of our seats all the time I got into it when I was born in the 90s one character who is a legend then and a legend now is Ken Barlow played by the fantastic William Roache

My Great-Grandfather's cousin, Maudie Edwards, played Elsie Lappin in this scene (she had the first lines of dialogue). You can sometimes hear her Welsh accent slipping through.

Strange to think that this show has been running longer than colour television has existed.

Is this shop the same one that Norris owns?

[laminage]

It's amazing. The Pilot Episode takes place in a Convenience Store. In 1987 The Bold & The Beautiful debuts with a Fashion Show. Sadly enough, 20 Years Later John Lennon would be assassinated.

I just came here because Jimi Hendrix saw this

😀

Clever to have Florrie Linley as the audience surrogate in that first scene, by way of introducing a newcomer to who's who in the street

[MondySpartan]

Just asking, where can you (legally) watch classic Corrie? Any DVDs or streaming services for it?

[stephenhall]

Time gone to quickly now days .never in my life will never for get lock down 2020 one year in doors, wear a mask.

[lyndennixon]

It’s hard to think this is coronation anybody🧐

[merrymaid]

If you here the acsent it sounds like the 1820

[kevinshanahan]

First scene racial profiling - she married a Pole. Tut tut.
