Ernest Bishop’s death is my first memory of grown-up television. And I’ve managed to stick with Corrie pretty much ever since.

Now edited to clear up that colour confusion (and indeed the misspelling of Eddie’s surname), and to correct shameful omission of Suzie Birchall.

(ahem) TV’s first reaction to the new fashion in theatre for ‘kitchen sink drama’ by the likes of John Osborne and Arnold Wesker, and films like ‘Saturday Night, Sunday Morning’ and ‘A Taste of Honey’ It was a lot better when it was in B&W in my opinion.

The Street went into colour in 1969 – not the ’70s.Eddie Yeats became a binman and a CB radio enthusuast in the ’80s, not the ’70s. Comedy was always an important part of the Street’s appeal – even in the 1960s. And the courtship of Mavis and Derek began in the mid-1970s, not the 1980s. Apart from that, a fascinating write-up!
