Product Information

In the meantime, Damon works in the Dick Turpin-themed Burger Bar in Coney Street,[11] managed by Lettuce (Siobhan Maher). Cover blurb: Sheila Grant has faced many upheavals on Brookside Close over the years, but through all her problems has emerged as a character of great strength, warmth and conviction. Brookside was also the first British soap to feature an openly gay character when Gordon Collins came out in 1985, and it was also the first to depict serious drug addiction with a number of different characters. Brookside was one of the best soaps and almost certainly the most daring, the ones that it left behind are constantly copying it today.

Creator Phil Redmondblamed the station’s Michael Jackson for cancelling it, hence the creation inthe final month of drug dealer Jack Michaelson, probably the soap’s firstcharacter to routinely use strong language naturally and both caused andreceived some interesting violent scenes. Finally, enjoy explosive episodes featuring the gas leak at The Parade, the helicopter crash and Anthony Murray fighting back against his bully. Following the residents of a cul-de-sac in the north west of Liverpool, the show reached its peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s and was notable for its realistic and socially challenging storylines. Cover blurb: Recorded specially for this video in the Farnham’s house are Sue Johnston (Sheila Grant), Gabrielle Glaister (Patricia Farnham), Sarah White (Bev McLoughlin), Annie Miles (Sue Sullivan), Sandra Maitland (Mandy Jordache), and Irene Margot (DD Dixon) all chatting with Brookside’s creator Phil Redmond about the fortunes of the show’s women over the last 12 years. Featurette: The Story So Far (2½ mins): Well, more a brief summary of what led up to this manhunt, shown as clipsfrom the siege episodes – sometimes with and sometimes without the dodgy’pretend film’ effect, including when Gibson shot the police helicopter downand it blew up the petrol station which was never rebuilt and/or convenientlyforgot about.

It has consistently topped the channel’s ratings and has become an essential part of life for millions of people throughout the UK. When she finds her medical bag and injects herself with her medicine, Damon wrongly concludes that she is a drug addict, and he leaves the house. This long awaited DVD release features 16 full episodes of the classic, groundbreaking, Channel 4 soap which ran from 1982-2003 when it was axed after falling viewing figures (mainly due to being pushed around the schedules for Big Brother during 2000-2002). It really transported us back to the good old days of watching 'Brookie' and whilst it is now, of course, very dated, nevertheless it really is a fantastic keepsake of this 'gutsy' much-missed series.

On the third day, Clarke is at breaking point and the siege reaches a dramatic climax as Kate persuades him to release Pat and Sandra. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Cover blurb: Re-live that tense week on Brookside Close in the summer of 1985 when Pat, Sandra and Kate are held hostage at gunpoint in their own home by the distressed and menacing John Clarke, who they had recently met at the hospital garden fete.

Interviews (15 mins): Between 4-6 minutes apiece with Steven Fletcher, Philip Olivier and director Adrian Vitoria talk about their part in this drama.

Revealing some previously well hidden secrets (like John McArdle’s first incarnation as Damon Grant’s school teacher) and telling what the actors really think of their characters. The series caused an uproar when it featured a storyline featuring a consensual incestuous sexual relationship between two sibling characters during 1996. Watch Mandy and Beth Jordache as they finally bring an end to Trevor and the domestic abuse they suffered at his hands for years. The selection of episodes is good and if you are a true fan you can fill in the blanks, all the high points I remember are covered and I enjoyed nearly all of them.
