  8. we need to watch them all! please show them on e4 like they do with eastenders on watch preferably at a time before or after normal work ing hours. you could replace friends i could act in them i've seen them so often . better to watch our own home grown talent rather than american repeats hollyoaks was a poor substitute for a classic like brookside

  11. Hiya, just to let you know, i think u should put this back on tv. cuz if u dont, it'll be a tradegy. im from liverpool me, and i think its such a good programme, and really shows what liverpool's like. i love it! please put some repeats back on to tv, if not make new episodes ohh... like, even if it was with new characters like. i just think u would get so many ratings, this soap is amazing, better than any other on air.

  20. This was the only soap I watched, could'nt believe it ending, my favourite was Jimmy Corkhill. Great stuff-- channel 4 should bring it back from the begining I would watch every episode again.
