Corrie Comedy Cuts

Laughing is good for you. So to celebrate sixty years of Corrie I’m trawling through years worth of episodes to share the moments that have made me laugh the most.

Here’s my latest batch of Corrie Comedy Cuts:

Ena Sharples Talks Shop

This first clip is taken from the very first episode in 1960. Ena gets the lowdown on new shop owner Florrie Lindley. It's some of my favourite ever telly.

Mary Fears The Worst

This is a more recent clip. Norris has been away and when Mary finds an urn she fears the worst. A hilarious brawl ensues.

Fred's Blood Sausage

I noticed on Twitter there's a GIF of this scene and it made me laugh. It's from an episode in the 90s and Fred's having a bit of a flirt with Tanya in the Rovers. It's just silly really.

More clips to come soon.

Coronation Street’s 10,000th episode, written by Damon Alexis-Rochefort, airs tomorrow night (Friday).

Coronation Street connection to St David’s Day

It's St David's day on Saturday March 1st and the Welsh can celebrate the fact that one of their national actresses, Maudie Edwards, had the first ever on-screen line in Coronation Street.

“Now the next thing you'll want to do is get a sign writer in. That thing above the door'll have to be changed," was spoken by Welsh actress Maudie Edwards on 9 December 1960. She played corner shop owner Elsie Lappin who was talking to the new shop owner Florence Lindley.

You can, apparently, watch the full clip on itv.com - but I've had a look and I can't find it to link to.
