I had to watch it. For years it was part of my life. That familiar tune, and the views of the Mersey. Amazing ground breaking TV. I hand you over to my colleague, Diamond Geezer for the authoritative blog on Brookie. I stopped watching it when Anthony Murray started having nightmares about killing Imelda the Bully.
But I switched on for the final episode. Nearly twenty years of my life. From Damon and Debbie, through the Jordaches, right up to 2002.
What an amazing twenty years of telly.
What a cracking ending.
Jimmy Corkhill, we salute you. In our dotage we will say: "They don't make them like Jimmy Corkhill.
Bravo to Dean Sullivan!
You know, there's a little tear behind my eye.
Do they show old Brookie on that there satellite telly what I'm getting this weekend?
