Various Scousers are up in arms and directing venom at Channel 4. Myself, I can’t even manage an indifferent shrug. It used to be great, but modern Brookside is so dull, tedious and obsessed with drugs and sex (and not the good kind), I’m amazed it’s lasted this long.
On the other hand, it means Liverpool won’t be on TV every week, but given the image Brookie projects of the city, maybe that’s a good thing.
