Good thing about Ken (Reg) he liked his American Cars.

 

 

 

I believe both of these were  his.

 

Rock on  .

They look like Caddies,  good taste, same colour as one of Elvis's,  apart  from the characters previously mentione who I liked on Corrie, I really couldn't wait to tune in and watch Reg, the water bed scene was one of the Corrie all time best and funniest scenes.

59 Cadillac, late 70's Lincoln Continental (either would do )  (checked last nights lottery, looks like gonna have to wait till next draw).

Back to your dislike for the Battersby's.

Hasn't every street had a family of Battersby's or Clampitt's move in at some point   we have  .

I have to disagree with your liking for Ken Morley in the show.

We already knew Ken from Regi Perrin and Hallo Hallo and as such was already a much renowned comedian.

The character of Reg (for my way of thinking) with his silly antics and womanising never fitted in and the Battersby's were simply the natural progression for the silliness to continue once Ken had gone.

Final thought,

Was there really that much difference in the waterbed scene and the jacuzzi scene for one to be better / worse than the other?

Thankfully I was working late into the evenings back then (+ I'd the garage) not to have watched much Corri back then (Honest  ).

 

Keep safe, each to his own  .

It was all about bad acting I was referring to ref the downward trend, all I previously mentioned were natural and believable in their roles, Bruce Jones was just like Sean Bean, Cardboard,  I will admit the two girls who played the Battersby daughters were OK, the mother well the jury is still out on that one, but like you say, each to their own.

Not sure about the leather trousers  .

But the 'drape' and White Brothel creepers 'll do nicely.

 

Rock on  .

Sorry but a one off comedy sketch doesn't cover the cardboard actors these two were throughout there time on Corrie. Like I mentioned these were at the start of the pathetic state its in today.  Just my opinion. 

I agree with you Presley.

Coronation Street had lost its way by the early 1990s, though it was still watchable and just about credible. 

1997 was the year that the executive producer Brian Park took over the reins at Coronation Street. He was known as the 'axe man' after sacking a number of characters and introducing silly sensationalist storylines. Although he was only with the show a year, he went onto produce the awful Bad Girls and the trashy Footballers Wives.

Ernest Bishop Mr. Smithy.

[Rockers rule]

 

Here you go Padders as promised.

TV run down of Christmas Corri + bonus observation's.

Can't believe it's nearly 11 months since I last posted on this Corri thread, but here goes.

 

Part1.

Unable to move after Christmas dinner (that's my story and i'm sticking to it ).

No option but to watch Coronation street with HTSBO.

First rule of 'Fight Cub'? you don't mention 'Fight Club'.

First rule of 'Storming off in a Huff' in 'Soap Land' - Leave yer phone at home , because what could possibly go wrong .

Good old Fizz belting along in't middle of nowhere singing 🎵 What a wonderful world🎵 or something like that (I wasn't really listening).

What could possibly go wrong .

Car breaks down - 'well bugger me', in't middle of nowhere as well, with no phone, nor money  

Thankfully, up pops Santa's 🎅 little helper (resplendent in his red duffle coat) still carries 'real money' with him finds a red telephone box (that hasn't been vandalised) and Fizz makes it to her surprise Christmas day wedding  

The registrar has to be brought back because he's already set off thinking Fizz wasne gonna show.

The comedy writer for Coronation Street must have had a moment of inspiration (or hadn't been out celebrating) with the fantastic bit of interaction between The registrar and the always unshaven scruffy **** Kevin.

Registrar; I didn't get far, there was congestion at Nutsford services.

Kevin; I had a pair of trousers like that 🤣 🤣 🤣 I nearly lost my my 0% Guinness .

 

Part2.

Eye-lash (instead of Eileen). Comedy writer has earned his bonus this year ✔️.

I digress, Eileen and her surprise new settee for Christmas.

Come on. plagiarised from an advert even I've seen on't telly, the helpful miscreants of Eileen's household having clubbed together bought a lovely red leather Chesterfield.

Oooooop's it's a miniature Chesterfield (great merriment) for a doll's house. (laugh i nearly opened another can )

£131+£3.99 (dearest) on't fleacebay.

 

WHAT DO WE DO ❓ WHAT DO WE DO ❓

 

Use a coffin, chuck a throw over it, job's a good un .

(I'd have had Eileen saying "Does this settee smell of 'Formaldehyde" 🤣

 but obviously Corra's comedy writer couldn't spell Formaldehyde or having had a couple of inspirational moments already, needed a rest for a while.

 

Part3.

The lovely Paula Wilcox about to get duped out the money from her house sale and finally submit to 'Percy Filth' with the slimy brother of Fish face Gail. 

Wise up Girl  I know there's an age difference, (just) but I'd stand being your 'Toy Boy' if 'Percy Filth' is all your after 😍   .

 

Observation.  Les Battersby eating Christmas Turkey with tyre tracks - one of Corra's  greatest moments.

For a Christmas day special I thought yesterdays offering lacked luster .

4/10 must try harder .

 

 

 

Emmerdale.

Emmerdale, same rule applies. 

Unable to move after Christmas dinner had no option but to watch Emmerdale with HTSBO .

 

Now we're talking.

Christmas day in't gaol. 

Long lost Brothers.

Cheated on Hubby's.

Ostracised Trollops.

Son ignoring said Trollop.

Unknown they've been cheated on partners.

Unknow they've been cheated on partners who's partner has pupped up the lass who has only just found out she is not the daughter of who she thought was her mam but the daughter of the woman who was the partner of the guy who has just gotten killed and the same guy who was seeing the sister of the guy who's in gaol who's young son actually killed the bugger not him.   (Lost 🐘🐘❓don't follow me )

(No full stops, No comma's, No excuses ) 

Christmas cards from the Dead.

Christmas Jumpers in Abundance .

Randy nearly moments with ex.

Disappointed Ex's.

Second Disappointed Ex?

Disappointed youngster coz he didn't get any shells for his Dads firearm for Christmas .

Deformity belittlement (Marlon being called 'Sticks')  .

Fick Doctor but not too fick that he can't manage to stuff down three Crimbo dinners down his neck.

(Above read ' must have been smaller plates than Mr's Rocker served up 😋)

Street party's. 

Drunken aging ex Fairground Worker 'Dad Dancing' .

Yep it's all happening down on the Farm.

 

So how do you finish that hours worth of bilge 

 

Stuff yer dead Mam's ashes in a firework and send her skywards 💥.

 

Bring back Matt Skilbeck .

 

I can't believe i'm writing this next piece.

 

EASTENDERS

 

Couldn't watch Danny Dire getting his 

Mr's R said I couldn't watch it    apparently she hasn't watched it for a while and is still watching episode from March .

Gonna have to put her a telly in't kitchen 🤣.

I'll get one of the kids to put it on 'Catch-up?' for me and watch it all seratipiously like .

 

 

GHOST'S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.

 

Definitely better than the last one.

Daft enough to be funny ✔️.

 

Keep safe out there & TV binge responsibly .

 

(Give us a shout if Paula writes back )
