Those old clips show just how sh** CS is today, Im afraid.
Amen to that.

John Stevenson is a God! He wrote some of the best stuff back then.

"What's that lipstick taste of?"
"Woman, Stanley! Woman!"
Thank you for correcting me

I got it slightly wrong. But that line is brilliant

Very true

But Stans death marked the end of the Ogdens. We lost loads at this time Annie Walker, Albert Tatlock, Elsie Tanner, Geoffrey Hughes and, er, Peter Adamson...

Annie's reaction to Hilda's "Muriel" was priceless.

The two best actresses ever to appear in Corrie.

I rarely watch Corrie nowadays but I loved it when Stan and Hilda were in it. I loved her singing Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye in the Rovers when she left.

Indeed an amazing actress and a thoroughly nice lady. Bumped into her once whilst shopping and couldn't believe how 'posh' her real voice was very well spoken and very well dressed, complete opposite of Hilda

Anyone else watching?
I forgot it was on and saw the last ten minutes. It is on again on Boxing Day. Jean's brother was very moving.

The days of Stan and Hilda were good.

There were no laughs in the peeping tom storyline in the early 70's which involved Stan and that showed they could both do drama as well as comedy,
I remember that story about the street blaming Stan for being a peeping tom. Jean Alexander really excelled in that.

.......................

Another funny story (you'll probably know the details better) was when Hilda was on the warpath because Stan had done something else to lose her money. So he (Stan) thought he'd get into her good books by fixing their broken toaster.

Hilda comes home to find Stan has the toaster in bits on the table. Finds out he is finally getting around to doing all the odd jobs she kept on about - their broken toaster being one.

The only problem ... Hilda had thrown out the old (broken) toaster months back, and replaced it with a brand new one .... the same brand new toaster that Stan had in bits across her table. I have never forgotten the look on their faces.

Not seen tonight's tribute yet, look forward to watching it.

I think i remember that scene.

It is a shame that Coronation Street cant do that sort of comedy scenes today

Wonderful. She won an award for that.
For me this is still the greatest scene ever in any television programme.

Quite poignant in tonight's show with Stan's real life son saying "That was my Dad".

Really enjoyed the programme, but it makes me dread this pointless killing-off they're reportedly going to be doing with Hilda's character 30-odd years on. Seeing her farewell scenes from 1987 showed that she was given the perfect "closure" back then; they really don't need to kill her off now Unless of course the funeral thing was made up by the tabloids, we can but live in hope...

Let her stay in our imaginations, living out there in the world singing away merrily!

I disagree. In the programme it showed Hilda was born in 1924, so she would have been 92 when she died. So she lived to a very good age and I think it fitting that the current show pays tribute to one of its greatest ever characters.

That scene kills me every time I watch it, and the older I get the more poignant it becomes. And yes, Stan's real life son saying that just made it sadder.

She was an amazing actress.

What with that scene and Emmerdale earlier, I feel like I've done nothing but cry buckets tonight.

Just watching now.

What a great show, especially seeing contributions from the likes of Daran Little and the MAGNIFICENT John Stevenson. As Flukie says, he is a God. There was a tear in his eyes as he talked about the scene after Stan's death. Would love ITV to manage to get them both back to write some episodes - what a treat that would be! They could maybe get Adele Rose back too.

I actually found the fact that they had the likes of Antony Cotton, Jennie McAlpine and Sam Aston sitting watching the classic clips of Hilda moments of great satire. It made me chuckle. It was like whoever put together the show was making a whole series of thinly veiled digs at current Corrie. Michael Le Vell's comment towards the end of the show were also telling.

The scenes with Sally and Kevin were sublime, really glad that they included a segment with them both. Sally Dynevor was especially emotional.
