Legend

1:48

I used to watch brookside when I was a little boy through my childhood when it was on weekend lunchtime and when I was 11 in evening.

I like the 90s theme

After the 1:00 mark it gets full on! love it! thanks for uploading, an iconic soap, created by some brilliant story lines etc and the characters.. 90s memories for me

This stirs up so much nostalgia, brilliant 👏

The year was 1973, I was 18 and a rookie firefighter in Soho Street Fire Station in Glasgow, Jim’s father was Larry Diamond, a Station Officer, he was of small build like Jim, but had the heart of a lion, after two years I moved to another Station nearer my home. One day we got the news the Larry, who had now retired, had bought a brand new Mini for him and his wife to enjoy their retirement. Tragically Larry was killed in this car, his wife died shortly after. The Diamond family story was a truly sad one one with Jim also dying so relatively young..it wasn’t until the 80s that I discovered that Jim was Station Officer Diamonds’s son. I just knew him as Jim Diamond of PHD fame and assumed that it was just his stage name.

I just watched the first episode of Brookside .. the entire episode was about a new family burning their breakfast and deciding whether to ask their new neighbours for a lift to church .. literally nothing else happened i'm already on episode 2 :) :) what madness is this!

I so miss watching this. Every Wednesday night I would watch this!!!!

I'm sure I heard this theme at a Rave in the 90s :D they based the story of the abusive and murdered father on my sister's nearby neighbour in Stevenage who was buried in the garden by his daughter and wife, only discovered after a dispute over a hedge.

A gentleman...

this video should have been on the end credits to the last episode

Brookie.

Original cast some where posh families and then the local liverpudians. At the start of video.

When they had to play looooong extended credits for whatever reason (omnibus or end of year etc) they started the music at 00:25 faded in.. Anyone know if they ever played it longer than that?

this theme tune is very comforting and you could listen to it for hours

Thank you for putting this together - it was wonderful to watch. RIP beautiful Jim.

Excellent 👌👍

This theme would also have been good for a WWE wrestler back in the 80/90’s

I never watched Brookside., but this has got to be the best soap theme ever.

I met Jim back in Aberdeen in the 70's I think it was, when he sang for Gully Foyle and I help the roady Bruce while the played in the north east Scotland. They had just finished a tour of Europe. All the band were great people but I did form a bond with Jim. When Gully Foyle played at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen Jim split his trousers and I landed up giving him my blue velvet flares and thereafter I had to stay backstage standing in my underpants. Jim was a great person and listening to him sing back then I knew he would go far. I was deeply saddened at his passing, but pleased he made what he wanted from his life and gave so much pleasure to so many people.

Is this out of phase or something. Sounds really odd on my speakers. Love it either way

Bring back Brookside it was my favourite channel 4 program I use Repalt on Saturday afternoon

This theme brought back so many memories nice to see my favourites Nat and Georgia at the end

Mum lives right next to it I grew up there haaa

1984 till now 2022 legends never die diamonds are forever stay strong stay safe everyone takecare shine in heaven Jim you always shined on earth our hearts forever forever xxx

What a fabulous voice. But mostly, what a good man. Excellent job on the documentary. Thank you so much.

great voice!

Close my eyes and I'm 3 again with my dad watching this in our old house

I hate Hollyoaks but I watched Brookside. Great show.

Thanks Ms and Mr Williams that's a brilliant documentary and shows heaps of bits I'd never seen. For 10 months in 1971 I was drummer in Jim's first major professional band called Gully Foyle and never lost touch with him. We were all Scottish and toured all over Europe where we had heaps of fun and games. I always got angry that Scotland never really took to Jim's voice and music which is ridiculous when Runrig Donny's voice was the equal of Jim's. I received another letter from Jim not long before he died which showed how sad he was that Scotland never really picked him up. He always said he was a crap speller but his music cancelled that out. Here's a last paragraph showing his feelings about Scotland. I'm starting to haver thanks for your kind words about my work it means a lot as for scotland I sad to say the media air brushed me out of there history along time ago.Thank god for Europe North and South America ect ect so as you would now say Ian no worries I wil survive but like I say I'm sad because they are my people. Most people have never heard it but he wrote a fabulous song called Caledonia which should have been released as a single as it beats Dougie MacLean's folk song any day. Why didn't Jim release it?

Long story coming, so understand if you have to skip it, kind youtuber. Years ago, I was once at an event with my Granddad. He was driving a lorry in a sort of parade, with several other haulage firms trying to win the competition I think for best float in show. I remember very little of this event, as I was approximately eight years old at the time. I remember lying flat on the floor of the lorry's trailer, gazing out at all the passers buy, and even had my photo taken with another young lad who was there, as well as all the Westbrooks staff who were on the float. Later on that day when I was standing on the path, a teenaged lad rode passed on a bycycle, and threw something frisbee like to my feet. When I bent down to pick it up, I saw it was a record, and old lp, with the Brookside logo printed on the centre. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, I promplty took it home, and occasionally listend to it on my record player, long since gone now. I was never a massive fan of Brookside when I was a child, but I still remember being in my late teens and twenties, sitting on my Nan's couch next to her at 3PM saturday afternoons, watching Brookside with her towards the end. Both Grandparents are saldy gone, but hearing the theme as well as so many things reminds me of both, as it intertwines two separate memories. Thanks for uploading, and for reading. x
