Hilda Ogden's last Ta ra

Thanks, chelsea, look forward to that.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.
