#Eurovision isn't the only good TV viewing to come out of #Liverpool this week....
#Brookside from the early 80's is currently showing on #STV player. 📺

An actor with Alzheimer's playing a character with Alzheimer's. In effect, he will be playing the role for the first time each night.

I'd forgotten Bryan Murray was Trevor-Under-The-Patio in Brookside.

Watching #Brookside (ep 41-45).
Funny how they mentioned #Crossroads and Alan Partridge (not that one!) has moved into the bungalow.
Easter and religion still had influence.
1983 soap opera at its best!

seriously starting to wonder what the previous owner of this house buried under our patio 👀 #brookside

Finished watching the first 40 episodes of #Brookside on the STV player - still the best UK soap ever. Gritty, hard hitting and realistic.
Groundbreaking stuff thanks to Phil Redmond and the team.
Channel 4 has given us many gems over the last 40+ years.

#Brookside episode 28: George Jackson (fireman) enters the close following the death of Gavin.

Why soaps like #Neighbours, #Brookside and #EastEnders are finally making a splash on streaming

But it's _always_ the person that you were pointed away from or very quickly skipped past in the first quarter of an hour that did it. You can sleep through the middle bit. (-:

It's not a murder mystery if it follows the exact same formula every episode for years and is entirely predictable from the formula alone. It's a soap opera about a fictional police force.

And like #Brookside spawned Damon And Debby ...

#DeathInParadise #UKTelly

I’ve only just twigged the theme to #Brookside is essentially Jean Michel Jarre’s Equinoxe pt 5. 😀

Graffiti from the first episode of #Brookside (1982)
"Bollocks"
"King Kenny"
"Teardrop Explodes"
"Jesus saves but Dalglish scores on the rebound"

Hearing about #Brookside going to be streaming from the start, I really can remember some storylines from the mid-90s off by heart.

Will be interesting to see them again, and from an adult point of view understanding the subjects more, though it will take years for them to reach that point.

Some things should stay buried under the patio. (Too soon?)

"#Brookside: #Actors' delight as #STV Player to stream #SoapOpera from start

"#Actors who became household names after appearing in #TV #Soap #Brookside said they are "thrilled" it will be broadcast to a new audience.

"The #Liverpool-based #Drama ended in #2003 but will be aired from the start all over again on streaming service STV Player from 1 February."
