[QUOTE="Whovian, post: 438055, member: 57872"] People have been trying to get ITV to repeat Corrie from the start or allow another service to do it for as long as I can remember having access to the internet and before the ITV3 re-runs which for some reason they decided to start in 1986 after the overwhelming majority of classic characters had left the show when they began the ITV3 re-runs in 2017. Even getting them not to launch copyright claims against YouTubers uploading the episodes from the era they refuse to repeat has been a failure making it impossible to watch episodes from this era as they get taken down from the internet by ITV but aren't being legitimately made available anywhere. There was at one point clamour for a DVD series which would have obviously been impractical but streaming services and the internet have made a full re-run far more practical. For whatever reason they seem unwilling to do so or even to relinquish the rights to another channel/streaming service to do so on their behalf. I've contacted a number of different broadcasters about this over the years and the general response is that they'd do it if they could and some have even made enquiries/steps towards doing it but for whatever reason can't obtain the rights to these episodes. Anyway, why ignore the 1960s? The ideal is for them to start showing the show from Episode 1 and continue through from then until they get too close to the modern show. We know they all exist (barring I think one episode) and have been digitised yet there seems to be an active block on them being repeated anywhere in any form. I don't see why whoever owns the rights to these episodes can't give them an official upload on a streaming service or even just add them to YouTube on an official account. At least that way they could be shown unedited and in their original form rather than being butchered by edits in case they offend anyone going out on ITV3 afternoon slots. The demand to see these glory years clearly exists given how successful the ITV3 re-runs have been and how often we come across threads on forums like this requesting the back catalogue to be made available but unfortunately it seems like we're all screaming into the void and there is some reason not being shared with us that this hasn't happened yet. That's not to say it'll never happen but it seems unlikely it will unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
