Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Those flippin' things have been annoying me for years and I'm so glad that they have been replaced.

I just noticed that Hilda's ducks are flying around in a furniture store advert. How long has that been on?

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Lol, I noticed that tonight for the first time too.

Don't know how long it's been on. I'm sure it was still Cadbury's last week.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Havent watched corrie street for nearly 2 years.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Bobby, Minnie Caldwell's cat has died.:mad:

Sorry to bring you bad news.:D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Oh dear the highlight of the night working out the changes in Corry! :p Mind you if that what its takes ie an advert to notice the differences then maybe just maybe its time to delve back in. :eek:

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Tonight was the first advert ,,,,thank goodness we wont get that silly advert for cream egg chocolate, that couple realy were twerps...

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Thank goodness for that, Grannyclaret, I was wondering if senility had set in. The trouble is that you watch something for so long that you don't seem to notice it anymore.

Hilda's ducks were ok but what were those things under the coffee table doing?

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Last night was the first I'd noticed, glad its changed though the Cadbury's adverts were getting on my nerves too.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

He is but sadly his Uncle Albert (Tatlock) is no longer with us.:rolleyes:

The Cadbury's ads get on my nerves too.:(

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Just seen them for first time, there is an action man and a buddha under the coffee table June. A definite improvement on the Cadbury ones:D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

is that cat still there on the outside coits/coalshed during the opening credits ? ;) ;)

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Sadly though you cannot eat them but could anything that Cadbury's advertised. :p

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Very rarely eat chocolate and never the Creme Eggs so makes no odds to me. If you were a chocolate lover those adverts would be torture:p:p:p

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

And now the kids will be clammering for a Corrie Street Action Man. :eek: Would have to be an exact one though or there will be crimbo tantrums. :p

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Truuudddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

My mum was asking me that not so long ago, she is english but living in Spain for over 35 years, we were talking about corrie one nite and when i told her that Ken was still in there she said that he must of have celebrate at least 4 or 5 60th's bday parties.
How long has he been in corrie ????http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...ons/icon10.gif

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

It can't be it can't be Bobby can't be dead he has nine lives so you must be telling porkies Rindy:D. If he is how did it happen? This is a genuine enquiry:rolleyes::D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Ken Barlow has been in from the word go, however long that maybe.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

It think it was 1960 - I remember because it was before I first married in 1961

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

The first episode of Coronation Street was broadcast on Friday 9th December 1960. My dad remembers it well. Ken Barlow has been in it from that day to this.:)

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

So he is good for buggar all apart from Corrie? Mind you that said it has been nice steady well paid employment for him. :D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

He has more days off now than on,,,,but he IS rather boring....;)

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

He once successfully sued somone for saying that

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Gulp,,,,,,,,,,Its true though :sleep8::sleep:

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

A very highly paid bore at that. Though being boring must be down to the writers.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

He is carting on though and the only remaining one from the original cast. I remember the first programme, I'm sad to say. I remember, my Mum, Nana and my brother all sitting in our Holland Street house being well engrossed. I was nine at the time.

Strangely enough, the next thing which I remember us sitting glued to was the death of President Kennedy.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Everyone is supposed to remember where they were on that day,,but I dont,,,but i DO remember where i was when the Queens father King george the 6th died , i was in the playground at school and all the teachers were crying,,,That was in 1952:D

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Ken Barlow is (or was) a druid and lived in Rossendale (funny folk up there ;) )

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

HEY I NEVER KNEW THAT,,,,

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Probably all changed now but when they opened the Asda up there it was just as you turned off the road to Haslingden and his house was on the left.

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

Apparently he now lives in Alderley Edge in Cheshire, just up the road from Kerry Katona.....I bet he was thrilled to bits when she moved in! (Not!)

Re: Corrie's Cadbury Ads
 

When Bill Roache lived near Haslingden he always had a big poster on his fence at election times, saying Vote Conservative. A bit ironic as Red Ken, the part he's played for forty seven years, is supposed to be the original kitchen sink socialist.

Incidentally, he's only the second longest serving actor in the same role in the world. That honour goes to someone in the U.S. called Don Hastings, who has been in As the World Turns since October 1960, two months before Corrie first went to air.
