[QUOTE="James from London, post: 428393, member: 22"] Ah yes -- a sober reminder that this[I] isn't[/I] just about [I]Brookside[/I], it's also about that [I]other[/I] show marking its whateverversary. But how possibly to do justice in both (and with all the detail and nuance that our Sheila, our Barry and our Billy deserve after a thirty-five year absence) in less than half an hour? I find myself trying not to be your archetypal [I]Dr Who[/I] fan here: i.e, reacting to every fresh bit of info with either a prediction of "This will be absolute sacrilege!" or by working myself into such a state of delirious anticipation that when all my expectations aren't precisely met, I'll feel equally cheated. At some point soon (maybe after we find out who the final returnee is -- shop steward or hairdresser, I'll be happy as long as their name ends in a y), I guess I'll have to completely check out so I can try to approach the episode itself with as blank a mind as possible. It's interesting, isn't it? I suspect that if Dean Sullivan was still around, and/or if the reruns on STV hadn't started when they did, we'd be seeing an entirely different era of the show being acknowledged. [/QUOTE]
