Would you watch Brookside if it came back with a few specials?

[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 98977, member: 23"] Early [I]Brookie[/I] was very outspoken about the political climate of Britain under Thatcher. The effect on employment, society and self esteem. That was what set the show apart. In so many ways, today's climate echoes the one that [I]Brookside[/I] thrived in. I'd dearly love to see what the show would have to say about the effects of Brexit (austerity, racism, unemployment, inflation, government misinformation) Theresa May, the DUP and the like. It's probably unrealistic for most of those who've left the Close to return, as it wasn't really that kind of show. So I'm less bothered about who appears in the show than I am about the tone of it. They'd need to be outspoken, have opinions and not be afraid to offend or upset people. I want life in all its ugliness. If they can get that right I'm in. But please, no exploding helicopters and bodies under patios. [/QUOTE]
