Hilda Ogden's last Ta ra

Yes, very good programme. A nice reminder that Corrie used to have a lot of humour in it. I stopped watching once it became all gloom and doom like Eastenders.
She was a very good actress, that scene after Stan died where she held his spectacles was so emotional.

I enjoyed this programme too. A great actress. The scene after Stan has died, with no dialogue, is just amazing. She has acted in plays on Radio 4 and her dialogue is crystal clear.

I watched it too. The Stan's glasses scene is the saddest thing I have watched , never weep at drama scenes but I did at that

No, I completely missed that programme. Jean Alexander was an excellent actress, her characters were so believable, loved Hilda and Auntie Wainwright .
RIP Jean.

Loved Hilda, don't make 'em like that any more... Thanks, Hannah, I hadn't heard about the programme but will definitely try and find it and watch it. She was a brilliant actress, I was a big fan. And, believe it or not, she was a better singer than I am!

I watched the programme, it was interesting but Hilda Ogden's voice used to annoy me.

Totally agree that the Stan's glasses scene was the saddest thing ever. She was a great actress of course but just at that moment, I don't think we were watching acting, we were witnessing genuine mourning.

It's repeated on Boxing Day lunch time if you missed it.

I agree antonia , it is a scene that has stayed in my memory all these years. I did not see the programme so look forward to seeing it Boxing Day, thank you for that snippet of information chelseababy

Thanks, chelsea, look forward to that.
