Re: Corrie's Gone Mad
I like most soaps but Corrie is the one i'm addicted to.
In the 70s I missed a few episodes but even then I would try and work dates round corrie. My waters broke on the rolling credits of corrie when I was pregnant with my eldest Daughter. |

Re: Corrie's Gone Mad
LOL Anne, thats dedication. l hope you managed to see it before your daughter arrived!
When Corrie started it it was quite radical. lt was the time in cinema of the kitchen sink drama in British film. Pictures like Room @ the Top, showed northern working class people in a way never seen before, ie; realism. The nearest portrayl before that was Gracie Field's, which showed us all, thick but happy, and singing as we went from the mill. My fave film of this genre is A Taste of Honey, with Rita Tushingham & Dora Bryan. They did in Corrie try to address the fact that unlike 1960, a lot of people don't live in steets like it anymore, by building the new houses accross from the Rovers. People that don't like it fair enough, but don't forget that Dicken's published his stories in a very soap like way in the weekly press. If they'd had the internet then, they'd have been talking about Tiny Tim, instead of little Chesney.
