CORONATION STREET GOLD

This unforgettable episode of Coronation Street is currently streaming on BritBox and is worth the subscription alone.


Tension mounts as Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner clash on the cobbles.


Great writing and acting with characters I feel I know from my childhood. Annie and Jack Walker running the Rovers Return; Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst in the snug and Albert Tatlock who seemed never to be young. Arthur Lowe, before his Captain Mainwaring days as shop manager Mr Swindley.


Some episodes are introduced by Bill Roach who also appears in this as a young Ken Barlow.


Half an hour of pure TV gold made in Manchester by Granada Television.

Violet Carson as Ena Sharples with Pat Phoenix as Elsie Tanner
