Season
Damon and Debbie
5.00 60 minutes Damon and Debbie was a three-part 'soap bubble' from Brookside, broadcast late on Wednesday evenings on Channel 4 in November 1987, with an omnibus edition over the Christmas period of that year. A Mersey Television production, it was written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, directed by Bob Carlton, and produced by Colin McKeown. The series is credited as the first 'soap bubble'.
The series followed teen sweethearts Damon Grant and Debbie McGrath absconding to York from their disapproving parents in Liverpool because of the class-divide. It ended with the death of Damon, who had been a regular character in Brookside since its launch in 1982.
