Brookside Closed *sniff*

Just goes to show how bad Channel 4 is now.

Could someone answer my question? At what times did Brookside regularly air its episodes?

In the good old days, wasn't it 8:30? I think it started Mon/Tues, then Mon/Wed/Fri. It changed days a few times, tho, even before they started really playing musical schedules with it. The JPS 01:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

The show used to be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30pm in the good old days. They started to schedule lots of one hour episodes on Fridays however dropping the Wednesday episode to accomodate these. Eventually the show moved to Saturdays taking up it's usual omnibus edition slot, before being moved to late night on Tuesdays. (WalfordQueen 07:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC))

Is it now easy to view the set? Not really no, there's still a security barrier there, the houses are currently being renovated so that people can live in them. They had holes in the walls etc to allow for the cameras and lighting so they were pretty much inhabitable. I know someone who has sneaked there though and managed to get onto the close and even inside one of the houses which was left open. (WalfordQueen 08:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Carl Fenton

I have removed the following quote: "In children's soap Grange Hill, Number 5's interior was used as the home to the character Carl Fenton, although curiously the exterior was a carefully chosen house that matched the inside situated elsewhere." The character of Carl did not feature in Grange Hill after the show moved to Liverpool and as such this is not a true statement. It is possible the character you could mean is Taylor Mitchell, whose home appeared in the 2004 series of Grange Hill. bidefax 16:46, 27 March 2008

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message on the talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material violating someone's copyright. If you are not sure whether the link on this article should be removed or if you would like to help spread this message, contact us on User talk:J.smith/YouTube Linklist.

[edit] Cleanup needed

This article is in dire need of cleanup. Some suggestions:

• use inline citations for references. Rather than a list of references at the end, use <ref>put URL/etc here</ref>
• avoid hyperbole and point of view.
• the article has been treat like a scrap book: bits thrown in with little cohesion.
• Take a look at EastEnders -- it's a pretty good article, and you should use it as a model.
