I was too young to appreciate Coronation Street in the early 60s but was fortunate to see the first episodes as shown by Granada Plus some years ago. I enjoyed these episodes so much I decided I would take the opportunity to purchase archived episodes as soon as they were available. My VCR expired last year, and I was very pleased to see this DVD collection available containing not only the old episodes I had in video format, but other episodes too. Eastenders thinks it shows gritting episodes however I would say they should learn from the masters. Coronation Street wasn't just a 'soap' it was a gritty drama of life as it was in that era. I can't wait to view this classic set of DVDs. Highly recommended viewing.
This is excellent entertainment, particularly for the over 50s viewers who would have been young when first shown. Ken Cope (JED STONE in the programme)was my favourite character,a live wire, good wit and always kind to MINNIE CALDWELLor MA, as he called her.Very good acting from mostly very good actors.The show appears very dated now, and there are a few remarks which may be referred to as politically incorrect. All in all, this is an excellent archival piece of social history on the 1960s.Excellent value for money and some great characters who helped shape TV in the 1960s.Product is a must for all Coronation Street fans and social historians alike.
i bought the coronation street 1960 as i am a big fan of the soap and the charactors at that perticular time were excellent and its nice to see how people lived in them years very good true to real life its just as my grandparents lived in some ways
Takes me back to a time when Coronation Street was more realistic in it's portrayal of poor working class life in Manchester in the 60s. Love the acting, even when sometimes actors stumble over lines, the budget must have been quite limited if you look at some of the backdrop paintings of landscapes...but all this adds to the gritty nostalgia. Loved this collection!!!!! Wish we could turn back time.
