I remember the re-runs being on LivingTV and Sky One though.

I think they should re-run the whole lot on E4, that's the most fitting place for it and it's a CH4 channel so it should be easy to get going. However I doubt it would fit in with E4's image? I would love a re-run up until it started to go silly. Then people might remember the good old days of Brookie more and not the mess it became. I think Channel 4 should re-run it again as a primetime soap, we would know all the spoilers but there's no harm in it. It would be quite fun actually and depending on what storyline they had going it might pull in more viewers for the channel.
All soap/drama could learn alot from his characterOriginally Posted by GhostRider
I loved it when it was all about kitchen sink drama. Brookie was even good when it used gangsters and drugs once upon a time. I think it's the only soap that could get away with it without people complaining about it. Jimmy was on drugs and the prog was still fantastic. I used to love him and Jackie. Then it went mental and didn't they break up and one had to stay upstairs and the other downstairs so Jackie went upstairs and said she had the bathroom so Jimmy went and got one of them public loos fitted. How dreadful!!! Then we had Jimmy's mental breakdowns right up until the end. He was still a brill character though. Part of Brookie's problem was sensationalism and Phil Redmond who just has to remain executive producer, they couldn't get him out!
Now there's an idea. Forget Phil and Grant, EE should just get Barry Grant.Originally Posted by Siobhan
Yes he was a real bad boy cop. He was in something else too can't remember the name ..might of been Liverpool something, think it had Sam Jannis in it,of course he played a bad boy in this too. Funny though I still think of him as Barry even in the Bill. I suppose it's because he still has THAT LOOK and those funny sayingsLOL! Des and Sheelagh great storyline.Originally Posted by Siobhan
In Brookie though he was so evil especially towards his best Mate Terry, he'd be looking out for him one minute then the next he'll be stabbing him in the back, remember what he did to Terry's wife Sue...

Also it would give those of us who'd missed a few episodes, especially the last lot to see them. I love watching all the old stuff. You really can see how things have changed.Originally Posted by melmarshall858
