    Yup, Anna Friel.

    Goes to show how much tolerance of tv has moved on these days, after the death of it's major critic and censor Barbara Woodhouse, she would have been having a fit about programs such as Brookside at the time.

    Channel 4 were pushing new boundaries, stuff that wouldn't even be given a second thought these days.

    Channel 4 was a bit of a wake up call for TV in general, back then.

    The other program you mentioned 'Bread' the main character of that, well both of them I think husband and wife in Brookside, went on to be the main characters in Bread. If I'm remembering correctly.

    Edited: read on...

    Channel 4 was a breath of fresh air.

    Remember getting into American Football watching Channel 4. They used to have Two Tribes as their theme tune. Inspired.

    I watched a TikTok today of some old Dot Cotton footage from early Eastenders and she said something like “Don’t trust them they’re brown, them Paki’s need sent back on the boat they come on”… obvs the Woketards trying to cancel her now because they don’t understand anything.

    I'll correct this one, it was Royle Family not Bread I was thinking of.

    They were certainly a first for terrestrial tv back in 1982, then less than a decade later SKY TV became the future for the UK.

    Went under the radar, BBC were busy getting thrown about for concealing nonces and helping them touch kids. Don’t suppose Dot saying Paki is all that bad in the grand scheme of BBC legacy.

    When you put it like that, yeah it's the least of their misdemeanours. Looking back, Saville was a ****ing nonce hiding in plain sight. But nobody dared challenge people like him when he was a media (and charity) darling.

    Can’t say I ever watched his shows tbh, but I mean, he is the archetypal nonce to look at isn’t he.

    This is what was the worrying aspect of it, people dared not challenge. Yet it was staring people in the fooking face, he weren't quite right. But food for thought, people were scared to challenge it back then, have we learned the lessons, I think NOT. Why because people are still scared to challenge things today, for fear of the thought police.

    I grew up on Jim'll fix it. Even wrote in to the nonce asking him to fix it for me. He was a ****ing red flag if ever there was one, but loads of that **** was going down back then. And the people around them just turned a blind eye.
