Brookside: 10 Of The Best (part 1)

[estadje]

I was gutted when Brookside went off the air. This was the best UK soap by far.

[tatugirl1]

i just remember watching it as a little girl now i am 24 years old

I loved Brookie, but it got ridiculous. The reason Corrie goes on and on is because, with some exceptions, it is real people's lives. Brookside, Jesus, fires, explosions, murders, gangsters, it was mad.

Still, they did heroin addiction brilliantly with Nick, Heather's husband. He was fine til she tried to stop him using, then kicked him out, then he died. No other soap suggested addicts could be fine with their gear.

brookside committed suicide. it kept losing viewers in the 90s because it turned into some american cable soap crap, with a murder a bomb an overdose etc. every week. and the more that turned off the worse they got. its glory days were when it was real- the royle family style.

@andymoore4 same as the bill... more american wanna be's....

I use to watch it when I was a kid mainly down to my Mom being obsessed with it.I remember Brookside being the first soap to have the balls to push the envelope before Eastenders,Corrie and Emmerdale did it.Its a shame other soaps have carried on and reaped the rewards of a soap that should still be here today.

I was at Liverpool the time they were filming the scene when the plane/helicopter crashed. Does anyone have that episode.

[Threading30]

I second that! I loved it.

[SadClownMovies]

brookside was excellent in it's early early years, by the time paul usher had his last return it had degenerated into farce and needed to be put out of our misery

[andyluisa09]

brookside was the best its a shame they took it off tv i miss it,jimmy was a great character

Brookie from day one was shown on Sky Soap back in the late 1990's. Would be fab to see it all again.

[HewzyLFC]

yeah used to watch that all the time they used to have sat omnibus as well. they should bring it back man Brookie ruled :)

[smudgersgal]

i love brookside.with the amount of channels on sky you would think one of them would show it from the beginning.

[Nihilanth1982]

ahh brookside..i miss those days

[XxLikkleLisaxX]

they should bring brookie back

[stanleybabe91]

i agree they should bring brookside back!!!

[PinkFloydFan74]

Yeah definitely. If you'd like to help save Brookside Close being bulldozed and turned into a Netto, please join the Facebook Group 'Friends Of Brookside Close'.

[cryingonion2]

I can't believe that's happening. Didn't anyone buy those houses?

[PinkFloydFan74]

Yeah they did. They're doing some fantastic work to redevelop the Close and the houses will be up for rent I believe next year.

[cryingonion2]

That's great. How amazing that would be, to rent a Brookie House!

[MCCLELLANDFILMS]
