I’m from NYC but I would see “Brookside” during trips to the UK. I always loved the opening when they showed the Liver Building, the Mersey Ferry, the Albert Dock, St. George’s Hall, and the two cathedrals. I’ve been to Liverpool many times; have always enjoyed it.
My dad lived in Liverpool around this time, I was 8 and living in Glasgow with my mum (who I didn’t really get on with) and every time I heard this theme I’d think of him and it made me sad
The bizzies haha. As a child I struggled to understand what they were saying. Even as an adult I do haha. It’s the Livvvvvveeerrrrpppoooolll accent haha lol. 👌👌🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂😂
Any Brookside super fans reading this, I want your opinion on a weird Mandela Effect regarding the character Sinbad. Does anybody remember his supposed real name being Thomas Hardy Edward Sweeney? Because I watched Brookie avidly, and I swear the sign above his shop always read that. Featured in every episode, during the opening titles, in the later part of the 90's. Well, turns out his middle name was actually Henry. I'm just really interested to know if anyone else remembers Hardy, not Henry. Because it really weirded me out, when I watched old clips and saw that I'd, apparently, always read his name wrong. I so vividly remember it being Hardy. Very strange.
Geek query to all Brookie Mad 'eads! This intro , though obviously in stereo surround when compared to the mono output of the original theme , seems to have a more muted bass and percussion compared to its debut episodes played over the original intro images , in 1991. Any thoughts?
This was when EVERYONE watched it and it reached a peak
Probably the best british soap intro ever
Duff , duff , da duuf. Fooking amazing dat kid.
Eastenders is better proper londoners and community spirit.
@@marthasheilds2446 Eastenders doesn't even come close
Agree, Brookside theme smashes EastEnders out of the water. That synth and drum pattern - just incredible.
@@007beck9 Eastenders still running though but brookside storylines were hard hitting .
R.I.P.Jimmy Corkhill x
What was his dog called?

I love Liverpool. My girlfriend lives there. I live in Buckinghamshire, near London but love going to Liverpool to see her.
@@Landie_Manyour girlfriend lives in the best City
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 she does! I work in London and Prefer Liverpool
@@Landie_Man i would say that because Liverpool is my hometown
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 that makes sense!
Liverpool tourist board must've made this!
Chris Richards lol!
Oh God the memories
My dad lived in Liverpool around this time, I was 8 and living in Glasgow with my mum (who I didn’t really get on with) and every time I heard this theme I’d think of him and it made me sad
RIP Jimmy
Aa much as i love eastenders....brookside had the best musical intro theme.
Sssssshhhush you can’t talk Brookside’s on. That’s what my mum would always say. We got clipped round the head if we talked haha. 👌👌👍👍😂😂
What a lovely lovely place to live
I just realised it sounds very much like ‘I Hear You Now’ by Jon & Vangelis from a year or two earlier
When I was a kid I used to think this was called "Shhhhhhhh! Brookside is on!"
I loved this sitcom
The bizzies haha. As a child I struggled to understand what they were saying. Even as an adult I do haha. It’s the Livvvvvveeerrrrpppoooolll accent haha lol. 👌👌🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂😂
+Emma Davies some people can't understand our scouse accent
That sax is mad scouse 😂

I had to check Brookside was still in our reality after the last 2 years lol
Epic intro - and RIP Dean Sullivan aka Jimmy
This opening credit was made on the year I was born but yet I remember this theme so well wow
Same here I’m a 1992 baby
Its coming back from the start on 1st of February 2023 on STV. Its on app and sky. Can't wait.
Yeah me too!
To me, the theme tune has always sounded like a slowed down version of Jean-Michel Jarre' s Equinoxe.
The only storyline I can remember off the top of me head is when that mad blonde woman was stalking Jimmy...
wasn’t that Jenny who was stalking Mick?
@@scottyunitedboy2925 You are right my memory was playing tricks...
@@johno4521 lol no worries, to be fair I had been recently watching that storyline on here
