Brookside Closed
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cheerio Tinhead, see you later Jimmy, take it easy Ron. The residents of Brookside Close will soon be adopting a lower televisual profile. Channel 4 has announced that it is moving the soap from its prime-time evening slot. So we will be seeing less of the dysfunctional Liverpudlians who have entertained the nation since 1982. Has it really been 20 years since they shuffled on to our screens with their scouse charm and guttural speech patterns?

This is an appropriate moment to recall Brookie's finer moments; pioneering lesbian clinches, exploding apartments, Trevor Jordache buried under the patio, Sinbad's hopeless love life. And we should be grateful to Phil Redmond's innovative series for giving us the likes of Anna Friel, Amanda Burton, Sue Johnston and Ricky Tomlinson. It's a sad day for soap addicts but don't despair; Crossroads came back.
