And I had forgotten this. 1993 was about the zenith of Corrie. Humour in so many performances, much of it typically northern too. I watched it just for the humour (Norris was superb and Fred and Ashley of course plus I couldn't leave out Hilda Ogden - a complete study she would make - many others). Unfortunately the desire to make huge headlines (murders, violence etc) has ruined many a soap. Our primary school headteacher around that time used to suggest parents shouldn't watch programmes like Griefenders - and we knew why. It isn't /! wasn't anywhere near an approximation of everyday life. Whereas 1990s CS was. Hell, I now feel old. But...Enjoyed that.👍 Edited February 6, 2023 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The humour in the shows, often subtle, brilliant writing at the time with many endearing characters. Also a decent villain, you knew where you stood in them days😁 She was brilliant last night, not many series get me on the edge of my seat shouting at the telly, but that certainly did!!

Captain Holt 522 Posted February 6, 2023 I really don't understand the hype for Happy Valley. Nothing about it is original. Its alright but that's all it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
