Sir Phil Redmond has explained why he changed his mind to give the go-ahead for Brookside's return to TV.
Merseyside is once again gripped by Brookside fever after the original batch of episodes finally arrived on STV player. Fans have lapped up the opportunity to revisit the iconic soap as it has already broken records as the fastest show to reach 1m streams on the platform.
The programme's creator told the ECHO why he previously spurned countless opportunities to bring the show back to our screens. He said: "There was an understanding with me and Channel 4 that we wouldn't show these early episodes ever again because they were so chaotic."
