Classic Corrie Thread. Now in September 2004.

[SabreIsMyFave]

Continuing from the last thread when 2003 begins! Doesn't time fly in Classic Corrie? The last thread was started 10 months ago, and we have powered through a year and 8 months in that time (20 months.) Wonder where we will be by the end of this one? (If it does eventually come to an end?)

Karen (McDonald) has been stressing about the death of her mum - and trying to be a better person, Martin and Katie are still together, (though Katie's dad Tommy is unimpressed by it,) Kelly Crabtree has just come in, Cilla abandoned Chesney to go on holiday with Les, Sunita and Dev are together at last, and Maya is about to go on a rampage after appearing to forge Sunita's signature for something.

Also, Sean has just come in and started living with Eileen (still is I think!) Jason and Todd are still in it, and Danny Baldwin and his wife Frankie are in charge of Underworld now, with Daniel's 'Uncle Mike' taking lots more time off. Oh, and Danny's son Jamie has just arrived, followed by Frankie and Danny's son Warren...

Charlie the builder is dating Shelly the barmaid, and Sally has just recently started turning into a snob. Jack (Duckworth) was dressed as Ida Fagg posing as a woman for the bowls team, and Norris, Blanche, and Emily have been playing poker!

Roy and Hayley are still together, Ciaran the handsome Irish barman is trying to start up his own business with Penny King, Steve seems to be warming to his little daughter (baby Amy,) and at the moment, there doesn't seem to be much drama with Gail and Audrey's family, or the Barlows, or the Websters, or with Fred and Ashley. Ashley and Clare are dating, but it's still a bit up in the air.

Hope I haven't missed much out, but that covers most stuff going on right now I think. Let's see how much has changed by the end of this thread.

Also why are everyone’s Christmas decs so naff - surely by now people were rejecting tinsel and adopting warm white lights

@Mrspatmoresspoon

We have literally just said that about Claire’s mum tax inspector-as if that would be allowed.

Glad it's not just me and DH who think this. Doesn't seem right does it?

@x2boys

Rita was very funny though when. She cottoned on about Claire mum being a tax inspector.

Yeah she was.

Yes I thought Karen was an absolute bitch today wanting to take Amy's present off her.

She was!

2004 must have been the turning point.

Ken Barlow's WHITE Christmas tree! Ewwww. 😖

I hope so on the decs - I mean Vera is defo going to have coloured lights and tinsel. You’d imagine Ken to have a tasteful red and green proper Christmas tree.

Have we seen Frankie and Danny’s tree yet - that should be tasteful

Karen is just impulsive. Team Karen here. Hate Tracey luv.

You would think ,but I'm not loving their Decor tbh.

Yeah me either and what is going on in Ashley’s house - all that lime green and terracotta is migraine inducing!

I know! Mind it's better than Ken and Deirdre,s lounge I can't imagine relaxing in there of an evening ,that settee is the most uncomfortable looking thing ever
No wonder they all spend all their time in the pub!

How are you all watching classic Corrie I haven't watched for a few weeks. I've just gone on ITVX and it isn't there anymore!!

@anotherpain ive just checked too! I usually save my episodes up to watch over the weekend. Hopefully it’s just a blip! 🤞🏻

I do the same thing. I've got up this morning and made a cup if tea ready to sit and watch it and it's gone!

Apparently the licences has expired again, this happened last year too without any warning.
Old episodes now gone.
New episodes will be on ITVX.

Its on ITV3 in the afternoons. I set my box to record them and save them up to watch later.

But, 7am in the morning and afternoons are not really conducive to people who work! Surely that’s what catch up to is for so you don’t have to record programs.

ITVX should have posted a warning that the license was due to expire.

Ah man just loaded ITVX on my phone to watch whilst i get ready and it says programme doesn’t exist 😭

Im not in the uk so can't access itvx. I can watch itv3 but itv3plus1 vanished.
I missed all the mad Maya ending because I had to go to work. Its really annoying.

I've got it on series link on the Sky box, so I can watch them when I finish work (3pm) and sit down with a cup of tea before getting on with the chores

I usually catch up at the weekends, I am so annoyed this has happened again. I am going back to recording them so I don’t lose them.

I watched the weeks worth of classic Corrie on Friday on ITVX. Just checked now and they've all gone.

Are they coming back?

Hmm i wonder if its because ITV are a bit pissed that Classic Corrie is more popular than current Corrie

It's subjective. I have never watched Classic Corrie in the morning. I didn't even know it was on then! And I am never up at 7am! 8.30am is the average time to get up for me.

I work from home (flexible hours) and start around 9.15am usually. (I work 22.5 hours a week.) Some days I start at 11am, some days I start at 1pm. I record Classic Corrie (in the afternoon,) on my Freesat box and watch both episodes around 7pm (with DH.) Sometimes we watch them earlier (like 4pm.)

I looked on YouTube and a man called Nathan has uploaded every episode of Classic Coronation Street on to YouTube. Just search on YouTube ‘classic Coronation Street 2004’ and each episode from the beginning of January is there. Scroll down through the episodes and they are all there. I just watched Maya firebomb the shops and Karen announce her baby news. I will continue tomorrow until I get to the episodes being shown tomorrow afternoon as I will start recording them again each day.

EVERY ONE?! Isn't there like ten and a half thousand?!

There are years of old Corrie on there and every episode of 2004

This is from YouTube. These are the episodes that got wiped off ITVx yesterday.
