I am enjoying watching these very much. Wish the picture quality was better though, and I won’t watch it on the TV as they stretch the aspect ratio to widescreen.

Roger and Heather’s bickering is irritating, and the car locking palaver makes you grateful for remote central locking!

I also think Lucy and Gordon’s dad looks old. (Mind you, I’m 60 with a teenager.) Katrin Cartlidge, who played Lucy, went on to star in Mike Leigh films and other stuff, but sadly died in 2002, she was only 41.

The strike etc is a bit draggy but an important issue.

It’s surprisingly sweary and amazing what topics they have touched on already (period pain, infertility, bullying, dodgy business, counterfeit goods.)

Am watching 2/3 a night when each new batch comes along Used to love talking about it the next day at work, especially when it came to the Jordaches.

I've been waiting so long for a channel to repeat Brookie, well done STV, bet channel 4 are kicking themselves!!!
I think they missed a trick there, find it strange that they didn’t!

I had a look on ch4's ALL4 app & they only have 3 episodes, from various years available to watch.
Strange
Almost as though it doesn't fit with the channel's output these days.

I know, they put up a few episodes, then nothing, didn't they show the first episode when channel launched?

The car locking thing. That was how all cars were locked back then??
Yes i suppose Brookie was known for all the topics they did approach. But for what, 20 episodes weve already had a lot.
The strike thing along with Bobby’s unemployment I remember being a long long time running.

Up to Ep 17, incredible how low key Christmas was compared to the rampant consumerism these days.

I wasn’t allowed to watch brookside when I was a kid, my parents thought it was too racy I think! I used to try and sneak it on. Is STV available through sky q? Never heard of it!

Just search for it via sky and download them.

5 episodes a week is not enough!!

I've almost caught up with the all now. I've got a soft spot for Barry though, Roger and Paul grate on me though. Love seeing old styles in the clothes and houses and looking at the old cars.

Seeing karen and her friends doing homework. No ipads or phones- how did they manage ?!!!

I always find it weird seeing back when there was no phones or internet. I'm only 31 so as a child we just had TV and the odd Nintendo SNES to play with! What did people do without a phone to mindlessly play with?

I know! Karen would hve snapchatted Jeff by now! And no computer in the offices. No emails. How did life work?! It all seems so difficult.

I've just caught up on latest 5, (wish there was10), am finding some of it abit odd, like when flowers were delivered for Heather, her husband just read the note, then there was nothing, no scene of him asking her who they were from

think he knows its his boss though seeing as he was coming onto her before?
but I agree, some episode feel like somethings been missed or skipped a chunk of story
