EastEnders arrived fully formed where everyone already knew everyone’s business and they all congregated in the pub. Whereas with Brookside, there’s an almost insidious feeling as we watch all of these households setting up their new lives on the Close while slowly creeping into each other’s orbits. I’m loving the grit of it too - the cookers on the lawn, the grotty train station, the smoked filled union meeting at Bobby’s workplace. There’s a lot of night scenes too, which add to that grittiness. I’m currently only up to episode 8 (due to accessibility more than anything else) but I’ll hopefully get a few binges in soon.I think it was mentioned here already but Gladys Ambrose (later to appear as the great Julia Brogan) popped up briefly too as Sheila’s mate at the bingo.</blockquote>
