Over the next few weeks, the ITV Coronation Street website is doing a daily Christmas countdown. They'll be showing classic clips of and teasers and trivia about Corrie Christmases.
Today, they've got a classic clip from Hilda Ogden's farewell party on Christmas Day 1987. For some reason, they haven't included her classic rendition of Gracie Fields' 'Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye'.
So, I've found the episode on YouTube and here's a longer clip which includes Hilda's warbling.
Is this your favourite Corrie Christmas moment? Is this your favourite Corrie moment?
In our fave 1980s Corrie moment poll, it came fifth.

Thanks for the Youtube link, so good to see Hilda and hear her warbling once again.
ReplyDeleteHmm...all the familiar faces, all gone now but Emily, Rita, Gail and all-80s- hair- and- glasses Deirdre.
Ahh, what a voice, Hilda! Do miss you.
