Calm down, calm down.

This was probably the last episode with Stuart Doughty as producer. It did start going downhill after this and although it still had good storylines and some good characters the golden era was ending

I think this is the episode before Laura Gordon-Davies' death

brookside loved it back in 80s

Both Paul Usher and Ricky Tomlinson are excellent in this scene. First class acting in what was a brilliant soap. When you look at corrie, Emmerdale and easterners now, there is zero comparison.

DRINK MY ARSE STINK MY ARSE THATS NOT THE ONLY HABBIT JIMS GOT FARTING PICKING HIS NOSE DOES NOWT BUT WATCH TELLY ARGUING WITH NORMA AND DENISE AND BARBARA

Both actress at theire best

That was brilliant

Des taviner from the bill

Barry great actor too.

Brilliant drama, there need to bring Brookside Back or some sort of reboot

what a scene

That looks like it was done in one take, if it was well done

Oh woah it was the last episode of 1987! They always stood and waved and did those credits on the last episode of the year

When Brookside was good there was nothing better.

Classic

This was a REAL SOAP!

This was brilliant and spot on

ffootball

I hated to see SID GO it's still so surprising

Barry Grant was the Terry Duckworth of Brookside.

Quality television back then.

Even though Bobby loved Barry very much he had a more fractured relationship with him compared to Karen , Damon and Claire.

Great acting

very good acting well done guys

"She had a big mouth!" 😂😂😂 I miss Ada.

What's with everybody waving at the camera at the end ? Was this shown as part of a special episode ?

Ricky Tomlinson and Paul Usher makes flawless performances watched all it sometimes

Why don't we see much of Paul Usher on the telly since The Bill finished , he's a great actor?

They had some great scenes together, i wonder did bobby always know that barry wasnt his son or did he find out later? , i cant remember.

I'm back here for the memories from my childhood and i have to say this was fine acting by both actors even back then. I miss Brookside :-(

Brookside through the 80's was fantastic , hard hitting at times and hilarious at others , I wouldn't say bring it back coz it was of it's time but it's great to see some of the highlights again.

I used to love the friction between Bobby and Barry , great acting.

What year was this?

I believe that this could have been one of her last scenes. It may have been during the summer of 1992, and her last scenes were in October. Unfortunately, she couldn't work like she used to. What a great actress.

What year was this it was either 1987 or 1988?

What is the episode date please?

True class top soap brilliant actingxxx

I’m wondering if these two women were even reciting lines. It seems that maybe this dialog is coming from their hearts.

Brilliant acting from two phenomenal actors

Haha Barry’s hair back then. It makes me laugh. I bet Paul Usher cringes when he looks back on this. The fashions as well. 😂😂

Brook side gave us Harry Enfield scousers, I have to thank it for that lol

"Do me feet stink?!"

Put them in the bag

Barry Grant haha. Look at his hair lol. 🙈🙈 that cardigan hee hee. 🙈🙈😂😂🤣🤣

Haha Barry’s hair in this scene lol. How young is Barry here? Ricky Tomlinson playing Bobby Grant. Sue Johnston playing Sheila Grant. Two acting greats who went on to play husband and wife again in The Royle Family. 👌👌🙌🙌♥️♥️

Ricky Tomlinson is one of the great English actors. Extremely underrated, but true fans know his worth.

Ricky Tomlinson first got into acting performing live, improvised skits around the pubs in Liverpool with a few other guys, one of whom was his friend and fellow Brookside actor Anthony Scoggins.

Alright barb 😂🤣

Barry and ricky two legends
