When Brookside first started we was one of the few in the country who still couldn't get channel 4 signal, and was a few years even after getting it before I started to watch but when I did i n my opinion by far best soap on TV and watched it to the end , shame they got rid of it I know Jimmy corkhill wanted to or has at some point tried to revive it but the houses have all been done up and sold of to the general public .
Not 100% sure why the real reason they got rid of it but (probably not true) heard was it around when they bought Simpsons of BBC 2 and paid over the odds and had to cut backs to afford it , and Brookside was one of the cutbacks , probably load of rubbish but either way shame they got rid of it anyway .
