It seems channel 4 is bringing back 'Brookside'!! A TV soap that ran from 1982 to 2003. It will just be a one off follow up show.
I used to watch the Saturday omnibus. On Saturdays I did my washing, cleaning, shopping and my weekly visit to the library, but at 5 to 5 I was sat down with a drink and a packet of crisps for Brookside!
It was the only regular TV I watched, and I had been introduced to it by my youngest son!
It was the first show to have a pre-water shed lesbian kiss, the murder of a husband and the body hidden under the patio by the wife and daughter; the shocking news of the one couple being siblings, drugs and couples swapping partners were some of the story lines... So just the every day stories in 'soap life' I missed it when it finished and I never took to Holly Oaks, but then made time in my evenings twice a week to watch 'Eastenders' which these days Dh watches with me!
Such fun I had a weekends when I worked!
