Is anyone else watching daytime old corrie? I don’t watch the current evening ones anymore but seem to be getting a bit hooked on watching the old ones again, especially in this heatwave when I want to rest! Trouble is I feel I shouldn’t be….is it a really sad thing to do?! If I know I’m not alone in enjoying it, I won’t feel so guilty!

I watch occasionally. It’s from a time when I gave up watching for years.

I've been watching it for a few years now.At the time Corrie was going through a surge of divorces ,drugs ,murder and and various mind boggling situations.There was very little humour so I tried classic Corrie 😀 and really enjoyed it.The storylines are much better and there's a lot more laughs.

Oh Justwidowed this tells me I’m not completely mad then because I think the same. We used to have a laugh with it years ago. Now it seems all the soaps are so grim….Oh well, I’m also enjoying it so will keep watching!

I watch it.
Better than the current soaps.
A lot better.

It probably helps that my memory is pretty bad!
