	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| TV and Radio \| Redmond unveils Mersey TV expansion
		Phil Redmond, the creator of Brookside and Hollyoaks, has denied reports he is to step down as the head of his company, Mersey Television.
		Redmond, who is selling some of his shareholding to outside investors, says that the company is expanding and standing down is the last thing on his mind.
		Redmond did not divulge how much outside investment - from venture capital firm LDC - is being brought in, but that the extra money would be channelled into more programmes.

	icLiverpool - Stunned Brookie creator speaks out (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Phil, who saw his beloved Brookside launched on November 2, 1982 - the same day as Channel 4 - was told just yesterday of the bombshell decision to drop the soap from its three-times-a-week slots.
		Phil, clearly annoyed and frustrated by the decision at C4, says he is bewildered that TV bosses are moving it at a time when there has never been so much financial and creative investment in the soap.
		Phil, who in the past was drafted in to help revive the fortunes of Emmerdale when it suffered falling ratings, added: "When I went to help save Emmerdale they didn't spend anywhere near that amount of money.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| No through road
		Phil Redmond blames the more recent loss of audience on erratic scheduling by Channel 4 and he does have some reason to bleat.
		Phil Redmond is the most skilled turnaround merchant in television, having saved Brookside, Hollyoakes and Emmerdale (which he took on as a consultant) from cancellation on previous occasions.
		Brookside changed television and Phil Redmond is probably Gerard Houllier's only serious challenger as the subject of the next statue to be built in Liverpool.

	Redmond, Phil
		Phil Redmond is the most well-known drama producer in Britain, and his name is familiar in most households as the creator of the long-running children's school drama, Grange Hill, and the soap opera, Brookside.
		The development of Redmond's soap opera is of considerable importance to the history of the British television institution.
		Redmond's success as a producer necessarily stems as much from his shrewd business instincts as his ability to generate creative ideas.

	Brookside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conceived by Phil Redmond, who also devised Grange Hill, the soap was set to become Britain's gritty soap, with other compelling and challenging story lines.
		With the sale of Mersey Television it is rumoured that Phil Redmond has now moved onto pastures new, if this is the case then it is unlikely we will see any further Brookside projects.
		Many thought this idea couldn't work due to the limited storyline possibilities, many critics claimed that this would be a pointless project and Phil Redmond was just clinging on to Brookside.

	Television Heaven
		Grange Hill began life in 1975 when ATV comedy writer Phil Redmond, who had just finished contributing scripts for season three of the children's sitcom The Kids from 47A, approached the various Independent Television companies with an idea for a series set in a modern comprehensive school.
		Redmond tried unsuccessfully for a year to get anyone interested, then in 1976 he met BBC Children's Drama executive Anna Home who allegedly had been carrying round a folder of rejected storylines in a file marked "School".
		Phil Redmond devised another soap opera, the Liverpool based Brookside, while in his absence his ongoing story of school life attracted many notable writers including Oscar winner Anthony Minghella, who was the series script-editor from 1983 - 88.

	'Brookside'
		As a former quantity surveyor, Redmond knew that it would be cheaper to buy an entire cul-de-sac of new houses for use in all the recording (plus "extras" for office space, etc.), than paying six months of backlot and studio set costs.
		Coupled with Redmond's policy of hiring relatively unknown actors (early bit part players Margi Clarke and Letitia Dean would go on to greater things), it would also mean an unparalleled sense of reality, with the buildings "aging" in real time.
		Redmond wanted to deal with important issues realistically, and it is largely Brookside's treatment of such issues which has courted controversy, soeven before its first anniversary the series had dealt with attempted rape, politics, and race in a manner worthy of Play for Today.

		In a thought provoking speech, he revealed that he had himself left school with four O levels and one A, and had then worked his way through university as a mature student, before deciding he wanted to be a teacher.
		He was impressed by the new facilities, partly because they brought excitement to learning, and partly that they showed that the school was as excited as he is by the challenge of new technologies and the opportunities they give to individuals -- and to communities -- to progress in different directions.
		Mr Redmond clearly believes, as we do at QKS, that this movement away from the traditional separation of school and community and towards an all-inclusive approach has enormous benefits for us all.

		Viewers were concerned that the appearance of the Prime Minister’s wife, Cherie Booth, to present a lifetime achievement award to Grange Hill, Hollyoaks and Brookside creator Phil Redmond, amounted to political bias in the run-up to a general election.

		The slogan, first used to promote a film, was a play on words which the audience — all cast members of soap operas — would have interpreted as a reference to the fact that Phil Redmond notoriously once had a number of characters in the ITV soap Emmerdale ‘killed’ in a plane crash.
