GTFI..TENPINS..........Hilda Ogdens ducks..YESSSSSSSSSSS
WE HAVE A WINNER...TAKE A BOW SON......... The History Of Hilda Ogden's Flying Ducks...Hilda Ogden (Jean Alexander) has a night in with the telly and the ducks. Hilda's famous ducks, taking wing across her mural (sorry, chuck, I mean muriel), were one of the most familiar sights in Coronation Street from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. One of them was crooked (Jean Alexander always checked this personally before filming commenced) and they looked absurd. But very Hilda. One of my favourite duck-related incidents occurred in the early 1980s, when Stan (Bernard Youens) was studying the racing form in one of the tabloids. Thonk! A duck fell off the wall. Stan looked up briefly at the sudden loud noise but then, with that commendable lack of interest he always displayed regarding matters which did not involve beer, betting or ****, returned to his studies without bothering to find out what had made the noise. How I loved Stan! |

boxingthefox it was just a shot in the dark.
Tried to think of something "semi iconic" I used to watch the show then but not seen it in years. |
