Brookside to be brought back?
 
Naw not really! But I am wondering if they were going to bring it back and asked for suggestions about how the plot would be for the first episodes to start it again - what would you think would be a good opening plot? All ideas are welcome! :dancedog: What characters would you like to see back in it?

Should be the usaual plot were scousers are either addicted to heroin or selling drugs, some make a living in the local takeaway or selling second hand washing machines..all have semi-detached houses with front and back gardens.. real life!

Ground breaking stuff in it's day, especially showing the real effects Britain suffered under Thatcher.

Love on the dole laaaaaaar.

Harry Cross. What a cult.

YouTube - The Farm - Groovy Train [Official Video]

Used to see some of the younger cast in the Everyman bar most weekends.

Karen Grant, a scouse, pound shop Madonna. A young Denise Royle. Which isn't suprising, since they had the same parents.

Went stupid at the end, and deserved being killed off.

I saw on Breakfast news this morning that a firm in Liverpool are after an interpreter for their business, because customers can't understand the Liverpool accent:D

I thought of making it like "Ashes to Ashes" An elderly Jimi Corkhill gets knocked down by a hit and run driver and goes into a coma, meanwhile he's sent back to 80's Liverpool - Brookside where he as to settle a few old scores!

Great groovy track that - where does that "your so special" come from? I'm sure there was a song before with that line? Where was the "Everyman" bar?

They could relaunch "Brookside" I might pitch another of my ideas to Tony Redmond - he was the original producer I think? Liverpool needs a soap to promote it again - with the big intro and shots of the City! I never watch Hollyoaks which replaced it sort of as Channel 4's topical soap which is more orientated to kids not adults - I don't think there are many adults in that.:dflam:

Re: Brookside to be brought back?
 
Everyman bar was/is three cavernous rooms under the Everyman theatre on Hope Street.

Really packed, and poular. All the bands used to go in, besides Brookie actors. Dead or Alive, Bunny Men, Pale Fountains, Frankie, and students. Art students, not those doing Physics, or P.E.

Many had to queue outside at the weekend.

Though I never did.

:D

Was Phil Redmond, though, who created it.

After doing Grange Hill.

I think there should be a soap that is obviously in Liverpool - like Brookside was - Shameless is supposed to be in Liverpool or is it Manchester - that and Hollyoaks really could be anywhere as there are no landmarks that tell you what city it's in.

It's Manchester, but it could be any northern town, Shameless is a bit like a cartoon to me, the characters are very sureal, everything is over the top - not very realistic - I thought This is England was much more realistic.

Now I reckon there should be a new Liverpool soap called "Dockside" ha ha ha!

They've been re-showing "The Boys from the black stuff" just recently, that is an out & out Liverpool setting no doubts about that.

The opening plot is simple.

A new family moved into a house, started remodelling and dug up the patio only to find a body underneath it.

Take it from there..

What about: Jimmy Corkhill wins Euro Millions and buys back the close and starts renting it out to new tenants that is how it starts - then they find some people burried in the back gardens! How about that :hothothot:do-one:

P.S. Jaysay has got the role of the new Harry Cross ;)

'Brookside Close was eventually sold off in 2005 to a developer who then stripped, gutted and effectively rebuilt the entire interior of each of the 13 houses before making them available for sale to the public in January 2007.'

Perhaps Channel 4 should get Tony Robinson in, for a Time Team special dig.

Brookside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps Channel 4 should get Tony Robinson in, for a Time Team special dig.

Yeh I know it was sold - so the plot is Jimi Corkhill wins 180 Million on Euro Millions and decides to re build a close almost identical to Brookside with his millions and then he starts renting them out to the new characters - bla bla!

Then it turns out the land he bought was an ancient Bronze age burial site and they all get haunted and they have to call in an excorcist and in comes The Time Team to dig it all up etc etc!

OK Jaysay your nowt like Harry Cross and you don't even know who he is - what role would you like? Let me know... Cheers!

Never really interested me that much, I appeared on TV a few times in the 80s when I was an international Pool Referee, and my other half works as a TV extra, but apart from that I'd rather watch it than be on it

What's the difference really (apart from rules and size of table) it's still banging balls in holes with a long stick...:mosher:
