  • Brookside was a British soap opera set in Liverpool, England. The series began on the first night of the then-new network Channel 4 on 2 November 1982, and ran for 21 years until 4 November 2003. Produced by Mersey Television, it was conceived by Phil Redmond who also devised Grange Hill (1978-2008) and Hollyoaks (1995-present). Brookside became notable for its tackling of realistic and socially challenging storylines and was most popular in the 1980s and early 1990s. In the mid-1990s it began raising more controversial issues under the guidance of new producers such as Mal Young and Paul Marquess. It is especially well-known for broadcasting the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss on British television in December 1993, as well as a storyline featuring a consensual incestuous sexual relationship between two sibling characters during 1996. Although the series had a long and successful run, by 2000 its viewing figures were in decline and low ratings eventually led to its cancellation in 2003. The final episode was broadcast on 4 November 2003 and was watched by around 2 million viewers. The first ever episode of Brookside was repeated as part of Channel 4 at 25 on 1 October 2007 on More4 as part of a season of celebratory Channel 4 programmes to mark the channel's first quarter century.
