[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 366970, member: 23"] Having not long finished ATV-era [I]Crossroads[/I], this musical properties/jobs thing is really on turbocharge there. Diane's tiny flat alone has had most of the cast living there at different times. I find it both funny and charming at the same time, but somehow there's that nagging voice in me that says it's too conventionally soapy for [I]Brookside[/I] because they did such a good job of keeping a realistic distance between the neighbours in the earliest days. But I suppose there's only so long they can do that before things grind to a halt. Even in 1983 episodes, Val moved next door from residing with the Grants to stay with Alan for a few days. And of course I know there's a significant move next door for another resident before too long. Oh yes. I remember those. This means there's not one at the end of 1983 then? It can't be too long. On an end titles related note, I noticed that the new credits with the outline text and the sunset image of the Close began on the week of the first anniversary, so that's a nice little marker of the milestone. These are the credits I remember the best from my early days of watching, so they hold far more nostalgia for me than the electric blue background of the first year. And it's a bit more up-to-date than the opening titles with the cars on the drives. Which reminds me... I know opening titles are iconic and probably expensive and time intensive to shoot and put together, but it bothers me that the opening titles still have Gav's 3-Series, and the Collinses' Rover SD1 on the drives when they haven't been seen in the series for quite a while now. Oh Lord. With my memory I can't promise I won't forget. But I'll do my best. ;) Oh - that's great. I'll look forward to seeing what it's all about. Am I making this up, or did [I]Knots[/I] once do a similar setup with these poses? I'm thinking Mack and Karen and someone else, but my memory is notoriously foggy these days (knowing me I'm probably misremembering and it happened in [I]Will & Grace).[/I] [/QUOTE]
