The Word.
The Old Grey Whistle Test
No Mr Ed tipped winners!!! Seriously Brookside broke the mould. Corra & Emmerdale were for housewifes. Brookie came on in 82 it was on another level. Other soaps were copying there storylines. It went off the rails cause it was on CH 4. To get viewers to get off there ars* & switch the TV to another CH it had to have OTT storylines. You can only have so many of them.
Think it went downhill when Del decided to be a yuppie which was about 1989 anyway that era was ending, then they married the boys off and it became more of a dramedy than a sitcom.
Raquel and Cassandra apart from looks were exactly the same as well, same "smart and sarcastic" personalities.
1981 to 1989 was a great show, not PC either if you watch them now.
