WHat about the residue of Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston? Have you no sense of cultural history?

Everone say 'Ar Damon'

Have you not been to Birkenvegas lately then?? This is already happening!! Our very own Dava sports this very look!

It does mention that they have been refurbished since 2005, which means they would'nt be in a terrible state anyway. This is going to make someone, somewhere, a LOT of money.

Lucky gits!!

What goes around comes around (a bit like warts)

And legwarmers

You had to bring them up. You've re-opened painful childhood memories. My mother knitted me a pair and they were so baggy I tripped over in them. I never got into ballet school as a result and instead got sent to a special school (Park High)*.





*This is all a gross manipulation of the truth.

I'll buy you some for christmas - they're back in now

And then maybe I will get into Juilliard after all

If not, there is always Spearmint Rhino

OK, so long as the pole is warmed first. My elderly thighs couldn't take it - not in this weather!

keep on topic please ladys there is the chat room if you want too chat

Sorry Jase.

OT - I had a tour round the Brookside set many years ago after an incident at Birkenhead Market when the lad who played Barry Grant's younger brother (the one who's on one of those to buy or not to buy type shows) turned on the christmas lights and I was rather unceremoniously crushed by the hoards of screaming girls who were scrambling to get near him (he was a bit of a sex symbol back then).

He called the hospital to see if I was ok apparently, and I later got a card from him saying "get well soon" and inviting me to have a tour. I met all the cast and had my photo taken with Terry (I was in love with him ) I still have that picture somewhere.

It was much smaller than I thought it would be.

Terry the stereotypical scouser? crikey o'riley, this should be a lovely pic for you:

Jesus, how could this look ever be in fashion?!

I remember watching Brookside when it first came on. I think I was about 6 or something.
The last episodes were awful, really bad TV.

FORMER Brookside actor Dean Sullivan wants to buy the famous set where he made his name.

The 53-year-old today told of his plans to raise around £600,000 for the available houses.

The actor who played bad boy Jimmy Corkhill said he might transform the 13-house close into a tourist attraction.

Because of the credit crunch the asking price for Brookside Close in West Derby has fallen from £2.4m to £600,000.

Sullivan plans to send a representative to an auction this month to bid for it.

The City Talk DJ, who first spoke of his proposal live on air, declined to say how much he was prepared to pay.

But he outlined his vision to revamp the neglected set during a meeting with his bank manager.

Sullivan said: “In the present climate anyone who buys a self-contained cul-de-sac like Brookside at any price will get a bargain.

“It could be turned into a tourist spot. During my time with the soap there were always crowds of people turning up.

“It’s been neglected over the years, but a lot of the damage is superficial.

“There is still an enormous amount of interest in Brookside – it would be a tragedy to knock it down.”
