Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Who remembers watching Brookie on a Saturday night throughout the 80s/90s Who were you favourite characters and what were your memorable episodes ?
John Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 helen grace......hubba hubba (cannae remember her characters name).
Beverley Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 i loved brookside when i was younger it was great when it was all gritty and "real" in the early days then when it went ridiculous it was just hilarious. never really had a favourite character but jimmy corkhill was a bit of a legend
Oopsupsideyerheed Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Sinbad....now the kebab shop owner on Corrie.
TheSandman Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I remember when Corkhill went off the rails- it was brilliant telly
Miller Jambo 60 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Jimmy Corkhill on E Loved Brookie and Eldorado 2 great programmes

Nephilim Scotty Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Loved Brookie, watched it for years, I really had a thing for the younger Jordash sister, curvy:dribble:
Toggie88 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Genius TV - Sinbad was my favourite character. I maintain that when he appeared in Corrie he should have been called sinbad and been a window cleaner.
dodethejambo Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Was there no a brother & sister that played hide the sausage with each other.
hughesie27 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Sin bad. That black dude (Can't rememebr his name) And jennifer Ellison. Bliss.
Adi Dassler Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Jackie Dickson and her mate Katie Rogers were tidy. And Rachel* with the large knockers who i think might have been Anna Friels wee sister. Gerard Kelly was a gangster in it for a while. Used to love a bit of Brookside. *Who was the daughter of Football League journeyman Les Chapman. Wee bit of Sunday trivia for you there.
Ribble Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Sin bad. That black dude (Can't rememebr his name) And jennifer Ellison. Bliss. Mick ! Couple of years ago in Liverpool I pulled his sister-in-law !
Toggie88 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 [yt]G8ezU6SpCJ[/yt] Don't know why it's not working. So here.
JWL Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Nah, here's what you want http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yZV6mHDuDS4
Tams bird Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Was there no a brother & sister that played hide the sausage with each other. Nat and Georgia i think.
felix Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Brookie in the eighties was head & shoulders above other soaps. There's never been a character since to touch the brilliantly menacing Barry Grant; who did us all a favour by pushing Sue off some scaffolding. He also maaged to get his hands on some classy birds ...like the lovely Julie Peasgood from the frozen peas adverts !
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I had a thing for Amanda Burton
Boab Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Tommy McArdle.I'm sure that was his name.The gangster bloke who Barry and Terry got mixed up with.Good laugh.
Princess Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Damon & Debbie, Barry & Terry the original White Van Men, Billy Corkhill and his biscuit tin, Rod the Plod, Sad it had to end, was far better than twee Corrie!
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Brookside was essential TV. My sister has some videos and they are spin offs of Brookside. It's about Jimmys daughter getting married (cannae mind her name) and she ends up shooting someone or something along those lines! Jimmy Corkhill - a god amongst men! Made me think drugs were cool!
benny Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Damon & Debbie, Barry & Terry the original White Van Men, Billy Corkhill and his biscuit tin, Rod the Plod, Sad it had to end, was far better than twee Corrie! Damon was brilliant at the start.I cannot remember the name of his friend who got cult status with his looks and antics(might be Gizmo though not sure). Harry Cross was also a legend.
Toggie88 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Does anyone remember they brought out episodes that you got on VHS, special late night ones? I loved brookside - never fully understood it all as I was only about 7/8 at the time. My mum and dad would have it on, so would always watch it.
Princess Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Damon was brilliant at the start.I cannot remember the name of his friend who got cult status with his looks and antics(might be Gizmo though not sure).Harry Cross was also a legend. Harry Cross was brilliant the original Miserable Old Git that has nothing better to do than poke his nose in everyone elses business, he had a downtrodden mate too, was his name Ralph or something? Harry Cross was even in The Farm's video for Groovy Train!
felix Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Harry Cross was brilliant the original Miserable Old Git that has nothing better to do than poke his nose in everyone elses business, he had a downtrodden mate too, was his name Ralph or something? Harry Cross was even in The Farm's video for Groovy Train! Ralph Hardwick ....also appeared on Porridge. Can't believ Harry Cross is dead now.....RIP
Boris Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Sad it had to end, was far better than twee Corrie! Now there's a word i would never have thought to use to describe Coronation Street! Brookside had it's moments, but the whining Scouse accent was too much to take at times. Tommy McArdle if your interested...
Adi Dassler Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Harry Cross was brilliant the original Miserable Old Git that has nothing better to do than poke his nose in everyone elses business, he had a downtrodden mate too, was his name Ralph or something? Harry Cross was even in The Farm's video for Groovy Train! So was one of the burds, i think they are on the Mersey Ferry. I forget her name.
Walter Kidd Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Jimmy Corkhill on E was the best telly ever. Fact. THe lights, the lights....... Awesome and sadly missed in my household.
The Old Tolbooth Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 They even had a hobo story line just to cater for everyone, there was a brother and sister humpin each other, and the sister was very very tidy!!
Commander Harris Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 the jimmy corkhill/manic depression story line was excellent - and really well handled too.
