I can remember there was a nightclub in Blackburn called the millennium, every now and again they would get special guest etc, one time few friends and me decided to go and the guest ended up being at least 5 of the cast from Brookside, Sinbad, Max Farnham, Mick Johnson and can’t remember the rest. |
Like yourself i didn't watch the early years because of my age (born in 78). My gran was a fan and I have vague memories watching it with her. I started watching it regular in 92 until about 2000. I remember the body under the patio, the Simpson families incest problem, the religious suicide cult ect, ect.
To my mind it was better when it was more grounded in reality but even so it can't have been much worse than our surviving soaps.
