Home Advent Calendar 2018 Day 10: Coronation Street, Christmas Eve 1984

Hilda Ogden left the Street three years and a day later - who moves house on Christmas Day? - but everyone remembers the close of this pre-Christmas episode too as, just over a month after her husband Stan passed away, she leads a Rovers-wide hymnal of Silent Night. We have no idea if this is deliberate but when Stan found himself being held hostage at gunpoint the same week in 1970 his captor forced him to sing that same song. There's also a subplot about Jack and Vera's Christmas tree, and we bet that wasn't the only time that happened.
