Calm down, calm down.....!


Brookside Close, the set of Channel 4’s famous and long-running soap opera, has gone under the hammer…

The street, which includes 13 houses, is now the proud possession of a mystery Liverpool buyer who paid £735,000 to acquire what was once the UK’s most famous cul-de-sac.

The trailblazing and often controversial programme, which ran on Channel 4 for more than twenty years, filled our screens with murder, drug abuse, adultery, incest and became the first British TV show to broadcast a lesbian kiss pre-watershed.

All 13 houses were refurbished by developers in 2005 and have been empty ever since. The future of the homes remains unclear, but if you end up buying one then check under the patio…

Until next time,

Mr Jackson.
