Bryan Mosley, aka #CoronationStreet's Alf Roberts, tells the Mirror all about
LOVELY RITA AND WHY I ENVY THE OTHER BRIAN

#OnThisDay 15 September 1979
ITV - THE PICTURE GETS BLACKER
The ITV dispute has produced the longest blackout in the history of British television . . .
A large slice of the population believes that life in #CoronationStreet is still going on at the moment . . .

#OnThisDay 15 September 1962
Hurry yourself along to the Robin Wool Shop at Oxleys in Widnes and meet 'Martha Longhurst' of #CoronationStreet - CORONATION STREET COMES TO WIDNES!

Honestly, get rid of Ross and Jodie. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

#Emmerdale and #EastEnders were hard to watch, due to heavy emotions.

#CoronationStreet and #BeyondTheGates were hard to watch, due to certain characters (Jodie, Tomass, Martin) were on the screen, and I can’t stand them. #BTG #Corrie #SoapSky #BritSoapSky

CONSTERNATION STREET
If the #CoronationStreet folk did not seem jolly at Bet and Alec's wedding, it was nothing compared with the moping in the studios. #JulieGoodyear was miffed she had not adorned the cover of the TV Times in Bet's bridal gown . . .

#OnThisDay 14 September 1966
"It's polling day - at last" in #CoronationStreet.

To whom these things matter… another episode ’like what I directed’ on the telly box this evening.
Tuesday and Thursday’s episodes, too.
Enjoy! 🤞 x

I was sick and annoyed of the Jodie story since #Corriedale and we still don’t know why she’s so evil. #Corrie #CoronationStreet

Ty realizing he picked the wrong parent. #CoronationStreet #Corrie

DAY OF THE HIT-MEN!
In a big business-like conference room in a modern office building, a #CoronationStreet drama was played out yesterday - with none of the familiar characters present - plotting the demise of the luckless Len Fairclough . . .

#OnThisDay 13 September 1961
It's Ida Barlow's funeral in #CoronationStreet and the most ambitious attempt to date at creating the street in the studio is made in order to show the hearse leaving, whilst a haunting version of Eric Spear's theme music is played.
